Protera Health lowers musculoskeletal (MSK) costs of care through a physician-led, virtual, multidisciplinary clinic. Because of this infrastructure, care can be delivered through in-network contracting, which is extremely advantageous to health plans, healthcare organizations, and provider groups. Protera Health was founded as a joint venture with Henry Ford Health in Detroit, MI, and is based on over a decade of clinical transformation in orthopedics and rehabilitation. Care is delivered through an integrated practice unit (IPU) approach, which is a cutting-edge delivery model that individualizes multidisciplinary care around patient reported outcome measures (PROMs). The founders of the company are national experts in value-based MSK care, PROMs, and managed care.

With Philips Engage, patients can connect with their care team and take a more active role in their health using a number of secure, easy-to-use tools. Our solutions support secure messaging, chat, and video calling options for care team consultation.   Caregivers can connect and view health data from devices and wearables and monitor progress over time. This helps to empower patients through shared decision making, consultation preparation and individual care planning.   Patients can also access, track and save important health information, and set reminders to take medications, and be alerted to upcoming health visits and recommended preventive health measures. https://www.usa.philips.com/healthcare/services/population-health-management/patient-engagement/philips-engage

Protera Health has three core advantages over existing digital MSK solutions on the market:

1) Ability to deliver in-network care through claims/medical expenses via our virtual clinic model (competitors are vendor solutions that do not deliver clinical care nor are able to contract with health insurance)

2) Individualized treatment according to patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), which are robust quality measures for physical function, pain coping, and mental health. We are the only soluton on the market that centers care - and monitors outcomes - by these metrics. 

3) Platform to in-person care, designed to minimize leakage. Protera works with partner health systems to customize the program to include the system's preferred in-person services, such as physical therapy and specialty care.
