Abstract

A computer-implemented method for designing a patient-specific orthopedic implant can include creating a user account associated with a patient. A patient-specific orthopedic implant can be designed based on patient data and imaging data. A healthcare provider can provide feedback for a design of the patient-specific orthopedic implant, treatment protocol, or other aspects of treatment. The patient can provide data and feedback.
