How to measure the effectiveness of electromagnetic therapy or PEMF?
In the healthcare industry it is very critical to realize studies regarding the effect and possible side-effects of treatments and therapies. Often these studies are organized / promoted by the manufacturer of specific devices.
Therefore there is a big lack of knowledge and public studies comparing even different treatments – this seems not in the interest of the manufacturer.
Seeing this intrasparence with these solutions there are already the first treatment devices, which are operating within a Cloud-Solution and the distributor / manufacturer deliver and integrate even a Reporting-/ Benchmarking solution to get with this service transparent results regarding the different treatments.
How does it Work ?
Regarding the different Pathologies there are Standard questionnaires for the specific pathology like DASH, Lequesne, WOMAC, Oxford Elbow Score, Roland Morris …..
The Benchmarking solution uses these market-standard-questionnaires, which all professionals know. These questionnaires are translated in different languages.
The treatment center is using the software before the treatment and will ask the client / user, if they prefer to get the adequate questionnaire by email or whatsapp ( alternative professionals can use this questionnaire online on this desktop / notebook / smartphone, too ).
Then the professional chooses the kind of treatment ( planned device and special procedure ).
That’s it !
Now the solution sends over time ( Pre- / After-Treatment / 3,6,12 Month after Treatment ) direct to the client / patient the questionnaire. The Professional gets a weekly Report regarding the answers of all his clients.
As you can see the system – a part of the single questionnaire is building a Report over time. Mostly its summarizes the criteria PAIN and MOBILITY.
In this case the effect was positive after 3 – 6 month, but after 1 year it seems to get slightly worthy again.
The same professional can even compare the result with other treatment-devices he or his colleagues are using in other centers.
In this way the professional and client can choose what treatment will have statistically better results on a specific pathology or even demographic effects like age / sex…etc.
Till now we only see that this procedure is used by centers which use TRM-Fit and CRT-devices.
According to our information the Software can be used by other centers on request !
What does it cost ?
According to our information the basic use for registered professionals is free.

Is it possible to use it for other Treatment-devices / Therapies, too?
The software is highly interested to enlarge this kind of study for other devices and technology.
So best to get in contact with them!
