Smith+Nephew plans to launch its remote physical therapy platform, Aria Home PT, for ASCs in early 2021.
Smith+Nephew will launch the module through its Positive Connections program, which supports ASC customers.
The home-based physical therapy program uses an on-screen avatar and remote monitoring to guide patients through physical therapy at home.
Smith+Nephew launched its module to expand access to care.
Laura Rector, Smith+Nephew's vice president of ASCs, said, "We have listened to our ASC customers, and their resounding message has been that the anticipated migration toward same-day surgery and a need for digital health solutions has been hastened in recent months."
