Integration of BTS Bioengineering into the ^Datico® LIFE HUB

With the connection of BTS Bioengineering^Datico® is significantly expanding its integration capability in the field of biomechanical motion analysis. Even without a standardized interface, it is now possible to transfer data from BTS systems to the ^Datico® LIFE HUB in a structured manner, supplement it there and integrate it into higher-level processes.

BTS Bioengineering is one of the leading providers of 3D motion analysis and motion capture systems. The solutions are used in particular in clinical gait analysis, neurological rehabilitation, orthopaedics and research. They enable high-precision recording and evaluation of movement patterns and thus provide a central basis for diagnostics and therapy decisions.

Challenge: Integration without an interface

In practical use, however, there is a typical challenge: BTS currently offers no standardized API or direct integration interface. For many organizations, this means isolated data silos, additional manual effort for export and documentation and a lack of connectivity to existing clinical systems.

This is precisely where Datico® comes in. Instead of relying on classic interface logic, an integration solution was developed that is based on real processes and overcomes existing system boundaries. Relevant information can be recorded in a structured manner and analysis results exported from the BTS system can be transferred to the ^Datico® LIFE HUB.

From motion analysis to an integrated overall picture

In the ^Datico® LIFE HUB, the data is not only brought together centrally, but also supplemented with additional content such as assessments, comments or additional documentation modules. This creates a holistic report that goes beyond pure movement analysis and enables a well-founded classification in a clinical context.

The final report can then be integrated into existing clinical information systems and is thus directly available for documentation, dissemination and decision-making processes.

How this approach works in practice is demonstrated by an initial pilot project at the Rosenhügel Neurological Rehabilitation Center in Vienna. The aim was to transfer the highly specialized movement analyses from the BTS system to a central data and documentation structure. The result was a significant reduction in manual process steps, a structured consolidation of analysis and additional data as well as noticeably improved documentation and transfer of results.

Significance for practice and data strategy

The connection of BTS Bioengineering is exemplary for a central approach of ^Datico®: integration does not end with APIs, but begins with real care practice. The decisive factor is not just the technical connection of systems, but the sensible embedding in existing processes.

This approach opens up new possibilities for rehabilitation, clinical, research, orthopaedic and biomechanical facilities in particular. Movement analyses can be documented in a structured manner, enriched with additional information and seamlessly integrated into existing processes. This not only improves the traceability of therapy processes, but also creates the basis for further evaluations and data-based decisions.

The integration of BTS Bioengineering into the ^Datico® LIFE HUB shows a clear path: interoperability is not just a question of technical interfaces, but above all a question of well thought-out process integration. Organizations benefit from a structured database, extended analysis options and consistent documentation processes – a further step towards consistent data-based health and performance management.
