Prescribe FIT Case Study with JIS Orthopedics
The leader in orthopedic weight loss.
Prescribe FIT is a full-service remote patient monitoring (RPM) and virtual lifestyle health solution designed specifically for orthopedic practices to improve patients’ musculoskeletal (MSK) health.
Why We’re Different
We focus on root cause medicine and whole person health.
We believe better outcomes are the result of stopping symptoms at the source. Our solution is built on the idea that small changes to patients’ lifestyles can lead to powerful results.
Our Approach
More than just RPM technology.
By combining innovative technology with one-on-one coaching and patient outreach, we help patients decrease weight, reduce pain, and improve mobility through simple changes to nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle.
A proven track record with meaningful results.
Our remote monitoring and at-home health coaching platform enables us to break down the barriers that exist within healthcare relationships to provide more comprehensive and consistent musculoskeletal care.
Our Services
We’re an extension of your busy orthopedic practice, helping to expand MSK care beyond in-office visits by combining cutting-edge technology with proven behavioral science.
We help patients engage in their health and make progress feel more attainable. We provide support—medically and emotionally—to help them achieve their goals.
Patients shouldn’t wait to lose weight.
In America, 140 million people are obese—and an increasing number of patients with obesity are presenting to orthopedic departments. Physicians can only do so much to battle Orthobesity™ on their own. To make a meaningful impact, orthopedic practices need a partner who can act as an extension of your practice to inspire lasting results.
The odds of sustaining an MSK injury are 15% greater if overweight and 48% greater for Class III obesity.
Weight loss is a top recommendation by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons for mitigating osteoarthritis of the knee in patients with BMI greater than or equal to 25.
Every 1 pound of excess weight causes an additional 4 pounds of pressure on the knee joint and 10 pounds of pressure on the lower back.
A patient with obesity is more likely to experience the following complications after surgery: infection, poor wound healing, difficulty breathing, blood clots, or pulmonary embolism.
Prescribe FIT expands your resources to help patients lose weight–for good.
