November truly felt like “world conference month.” We proudly represented moveUP - digital therapies at three prestigious events in Chicago, Dallas, and Paris, immersing ourselves in conversations shaping the future of healthcare. At Becker's Healthcare ASC conference in Chicago, the spotlight was on driving transformative efficiency in ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs). With more care moving out of hospitals, ASCs are leading the charge in delivering higher quality care at lower costs. Yet, the key to unlocking full potential lies in data: capturing insights before, during, and after surgery. Dr. Charlie DeCook’s inspiring “12 by 12” method demonstrated how efficiency can revolutionize workflows within the OR, while Dr. Jared Weir, M.D. showcased how digital tools and asynchronous telehealth save valuable time outside the OR. The perfect combination? In Dallas at American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS), action spoke louder than words. Connecting with key opinion leaders in hip and knee surgery & breakthrough innovators was both humbling and energizing. Data emerged again as orthopedics’ next frontier—challenging yet essential. The feedback on our platform was incredible, and we’re excited to bring it to life in Texas! Finally, at Sofcot Officiel in Paris, we showcased our breakthroughs in data collection, patient selection & PBOMs, the next step in objective patient outcome measurements. Our collaboration with MicroPort Orthopedics stood out, combining patient outcomes and robotic data to pioneer personalized surgical planning. Exciting progress! Across all three events, one thing was clear: the future is digital, data-driven, and deeply collaborative.

World Radiography Day is observed on November 8 each year to raise awareness about radiography and the vital role of radiographers and radiological technologists in healthcare. It is important because it highlights the significance of radiography in medical diagnosis and treatment, promoting the profession and educating the public. The Significance of Radiology in Healthcare Radiology plays an essential role in healthcare, helping physicians diagnose and treat various medical conditions. It encompasses a wide range of imaging techniques, including X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds. These tools provide critical information about what is happening inside the body, allowing for earlier detection and better treatment options. Early Detection of Diseases: Radiology is vital for detecting conditions like cancer, fractures, and infections early on. For instance, mammograms can find breast cancer at an early stage when treatment is more likely to be successful. Similarly, chest X-rays can help identify pneumonia or lung diseases before they become severe. Guiding Treatment Plans: Radiologic imaging helps doctors create personalized treatment plans for patients. By understanding the exact location and size of a tumor, for example, oncologists can determine the most effective course of action, whether it's surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Minimally Invasive Procedures: Many radiology techniques allow for minimally invasive procedures. Interventional radiology uses imaging to guide instruments through blood vessels, reducing the need for large incisions and resulting in quicker recovery times for patients. Patient Safety and Monitoring: Radiology also plays a role in monitoring the progress of diseases and treatments. Regular imaging can help doctors assess how well a treatment is working and make adjustments as needed, ensuring that patients receive the best possible care.#radiology #medicalimaging #healthcare #awareness #medicine
