Introduction

The application is used by orthotic, prosthetic, and pedorthic clinical providers inside and outside VA to digitally scan shapes such as residual limbs, extremities, existing sockets, impressions of feet, and casts in order to then digitally modify them using CAD and then manufacture an orthosis or prosthesis for the patient. This digital workflow is more efficient than manual workflows and is a modernized, agile system secured against disclosure of PHI/PII.

The existing scanning apps for orthotic and prosthetic clinicians do not interface with the Willow Wood OMEGA desktop software system, a highly powerful CAD/CAM system widely used in the field.

NOTE: This is a third-party app and is not maintained by VA but is sponsored by the Office of Connected Care in Patient Care Services.
