Remote therapeutic monitoring, as part of the care — not a program to run.
Most RTM tools hand you monitoring and leave the hard parts to you: getting patients enrolled, giving them something to follow, and finding the staff time to keep up with it. JointBooklet is an orthopedic recovery platform first, and the monitoring documentation comes out of care that is already happening.
Why remote monitoring programs stall.
The monitoring is rarely the hard part. Three things upstream of it are.
Nobody gets enrolled
Enrollment is usually a separate task somebody has to remember, so it happens for the motivated few and quietly stops. Here it falls out of work the office already does — posting a surgical case, or seeing a patient in clinic. The invite is part of the workflow, not an addition to it.
There is nothing to monitor against
Monitoring assumes the patient is following something. Most platforms are an empty framework you fill in yourself, which means writing a recovery program before you can run one. The library is already written and published — a program for the procedure or the diagnosis, phase by phase, with illustrated exercises.
It costs staff time nobody planned for
The work is one worklist rather than a second system to keep up with. Your care team sees who is progressing and who is not, adjusts an individual program, and records the interaction where it happened.
Enrollment happens twice a day already.
There are two ways a patient enters. Your coordinator books a surgical case, and the invite goes out as part of posting it. Or you see a patient in the office and enroll them against their diagnosis, and your team sends the invite the same way.
Both routes converge immediately, and everything after that point is identical — which is what lets a practice put operative and non-operative patients on the same footing rather than monitoring only the ones who had surgery.
How it runs.
- Who operates it
- Physical therapist, PT assistant, occupational therapist, medical assistant, RTM coordinator, PA, nurse practitioner or physician — whoever your practice staffs it with. It is one worklist, worked the way any other queue is worked.
- What the patient is doing
- Following a program built for their specific procedure or condition: phase-by-phase guidance, illustrated exercises with written instructions, daily check-ins, and outcome scores on schedule. For patients with an Apple Watch, activity and walking distance arrive on their own.
- How the live interaction is captured
- By phone, in person, or telehealth — whichever actually happened — and logged in the platform against that patient. JointBooklet does not try to be the conversation. It makes sure the conversation is recorded.
- What comes out
- A time-stamped record of the program, the reviews, the changes made and the interactions logged, exported as a PDF into your EMR.
It documents. Your billing team handles the rest.
JointBooklet produces the record — the program a patient is on, the reviews, the changes made, and the interactions logged, each with a time and a name against it. That record exports as a PDF into your EMR, where your chart and your billing team already live.
It does not submit claims and it does not make coding decisions. Those stay with your practice, exactly where they are now.

If you're a patient: this page describes JointBooklet for clinicians. If your surgeon uses JointBooklet, you'll be invited by their office — accounts are set up by your care team. In the meantime, our condition guides and recovery education library are free and open to everyone.
