The Synchronized Annotation GEnerator (SAGE) application is an amazing clinical tool to help communicate clinical indicators regarding a patient’s movement for delivery to other healthcare professionals. Synchronized video coupled with data allows a clinical provider to rapidly review relevant information.

As the COVID pandemic continues to ravage the US Health Care System, companies are looking at new ways to render care in this new and complex healthcare environment.
As elective surgeries have been limited both in access to inpatient and outpatient procedures and in fear of additional closures, hospitals, physicians and ancillary providers are seeking ways to render care to patients and reinvigorate their revenue. Revamping the revenue stream has become a priority to continue to make payroll and seek new ways to engage with patients safely and build business in a changing healthcare market.
DARI Motion Capture has been the answer to this dilemma. DARI is an innovative medical device and the only FDA cleared motion capture device to enter the market. This allows a provider to treat a patient for a musculoskeletal disorder and bill insurance and receive reimbursement. FDA clearance is important for many reasons, patient safety, efficacy, validity in system analytics and removes the ability for insurance companies to deny a service as ‘experimental or investigational’.
DARI motion capture system has reimbursable CPT codes which permit physicians and other ancillary providers to bill for a scan, and has covered crosswalk APC code for hospital outpatient departments to bill and receive reimbursement. As the only motion capture device that is FDA cleared and reimbursable through health plans, it has become an attractive method for hospitals, physicians, and ancillary providers to render clinical services.
The beauty of DARI in today’s healthcare market, is that DARI is a COVID compliant service. Due to the system being marker-less it enables a clinician to perform a screening without having to physically touch the patient.
Health Plans have expressed interest in DARI due to the clinical reports which outline the medical necessity of the service rendered, additionally, DARI clinical reports include clinical indicator tracking measures which health plans monitor of effectiveness of the medical community. Health Plans have now expressed an interest in directly referring their members for DARI screenings so that they can better understand the risk adjustments needed for a certain market segment.
DARI Motion Capture may be the answer to pandemic riddled healthcare system that needs alternatives to treat patients safely.
In this post we will review the possible room sizes and spaces for a DARI motion system. The quick answer is — it depends on your needs! From an exam room to a basketball court and everything in between.
One of the early questions when people are interested in DARI is what are the space requirements? Our answer is based on your needs. We have a variety of set-ups from permanent to mobile. Answers to the following questions will help determine what solution fits your needs.
1- Do you want to have the system capturing at a moments notice? Will you use it daily?
2- How many people are you screening in a day? 25, 50, 75?
3- Are you planning on capturing functional, athletic, or sport specific movements?
From there, we work to customize your solution… anything from an 8ft x 8ft space (small room) to a 50ft x 50ft sports arena.
We are ready to accommodate your movement and space needs!
A movement review is an excellent touch point to see exactly what DARI can collect and to better understand its importance in your motion health!
The drop jump is a great movement to review for both athletic development and injury avoidance. First, to review athletic development, we will look at the elasticity inside the musculoskeletal system. With the ability of hyper-loading the eccentric phase of the jump, a movement professional can evaluate an athlete’s ability to transition that force with a short amortization phase and create an explosive jump. This is a bedrock example of applying the science behind the force velocity curve and rating the reactive strength index (RSI).
Next, to review the injury avoidance opportunities inside this movement! As the athlete lands from this jump (first landing/loading) the movement professional can better understand how the athlete decelerate. Metrics around absorption depth and loading angles help illustrate stiffness inside the musculoskeletal system. Lastly, there is a review of their biomechanical alignment. The variables of valgus and hip adduction are a few that can be used to gather a deeper understanding of their injury risk.
As you can see, the depth jump has a treasure of information and should be included in your movement screen to better evaluate more athletic populations.
DARI is the only system in the world that can give you all the kinematics and kinetics inside 1 single piece of technology. No extra devices, no sensors, no markers. Just DARI.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of neoprene sleeves (NSs) and prophylactic knee braces (PKBs) on neuromuscular control and cutting agility.
DARI’s markerless motion-capture technology tracked subjects (1) without a brace as a control (2) with NSs and (3) with PKBs during single-leg drop vertical jump (SLDVJ), single-leg squat (SLS), Y-excursion, and cutting movements. Movements were recorded five times per bracing condition in three different sessions

As evidenced by the integral role clinical indicators plays in so many health plans, such fast-growing insurance plans, clinical indicators are here to stay. A tactical, reactive approach will only erode scores over time, so healthcare organizations need to take a strategic view.
The result is a cohesive, organization-wide approach to clinical indicator tracking and improvement that leverages advanced motion analytics and includes key teams and processes for chart management, risk management, and care management. Healthcare organizations that effectively carry this out will soon stop chart-chasing and win at clinical indicator tracking.

In the field of motion capture, what does it mean to have the ability to capture at high speed? And, what does the high speed capture allow you to collect? DARI has the answer.
When collecting motion capture data there is a difference between capture speeds. Capture speed is more directly called capture frequency. Capture frequency refers to a camera’s shutter speed which is most commonly measured as fractions of a second. For example, if a camera’s shutter speed is 60 frames per second (Hz), the camera opens and closes 60 times in one second and takes 60 individual pictures.
For human movement data, if a person moves extremely fast they can produce movement that can be missed by a lower frequency capture speed. At 60Hz a baseball pitcher may move fast enough that sampling data was missed. Research done at ASMI (American Sports Medicine Institute) found that the appropriate speed for capturing one of the fastest movements in the world (a baseball pitch) needs to have a camera capture frequency of +240Hz.
+240Hz is now the accepted line of capture frequency for qualifying as “High Speed” capture.
In the field of motion capture, there are a variety of systems that can collect as low as 30Hz and as high as 500Hz. If you want to capture complex, high velocity, human movement make sure you have the ability to capture at 240Hz or higher.
