Significant Research and Development has gone into 3DO (3D Orthodynamics) Imaging.   Developments began in 1997 and the first generation systems were released in 2003.  Digital Orthotics has invested significant assets in advancing its patented technologies.  We have been an innovator in 1st generation technology.

A comment from the developer, Dr. Craig Lowe (retired physician) 
Researcher in Functional Biomechanics
The 3DO Project has been a passion of mine since 1993 when I began the quest to get rid of the multiple error points (27 of them), in the manufacturing of custom Orthotics.  "I believe in doing things right, and through the painstaking process of elimination of the errors (Plaster Art Form) in Orthotic manufacturing, the 3DO System was envisioned and perfected".  "Many physicians, engineers and patients contributed to the development and success of this endeavor; it was clearly a team approach".   "We were the first at developing new milestones never before accomplished in Imaging and Functional Biomechanics".

New Features & Services
  • Footwear Integration:    Difficult Footwear (Pumps - Off Size Feet etc.) - Mail footwear to us and we will custom integrate Custom Bio Engineered Devices into footwear.   This is a courtesy service.
  • User Friendly Operation:    3DO is extremely easy to use and was designed to save the physician time by tasking the process to the office staff and enable the system to go "Outside the Office", to provide professional services to the community (Industry - Sporting Events - Health Fairs - Conventions).  
  • Attachments:   Be able to attach Video's, Photo's, and Windows Documents to Imaging and Production Orders.   Excellent for providing Technician with more valuable information such as footwear integration, gait analysis, static patient exam photo's.   The more information the technician has, the better the results, especially as it relates to footwear integration.
  • Scan on Width or Length of 3DO Media:   Excellent for patients with wide angle and base of gait conditions, (example Obese Patients).
  • Email Confirmations:   If we have your email in the Administration section of the software, you will automatically be made aware of receipt and shipping of orders.  A great way to manage your daily production.
  • Order Status Log:   Provides "Real Time" status of your production orders.   Provides Shipping and Tracking Information.   No need to call the Laboratory.   Data is managed in real time 24/7. 
  • Excel Spreadsheet "Print Lookup Results":   Perform marketing and patient analysis on existing database.   Excellent for Recall programs and patient follow-up.
  • Doctor Blogs:   A variety of subjects relative to Functional Biomechanics and the Physician.  
  • Repair Order Rx:    A great and efficient way to log repairs, modifications and accommodation enhancements to existing or older production orders.
  • 32 and 64 Bit Drivers:   Take advantage of windows 7 & 8 high speed platforms.   3DO is current on all Windows platforms.
  • High Resolution Graphics Accelerator:   Take advantage of your graphics card on your computer and drive higher resolution images.   For older and slower computers, go to the Administration menu and select "Use Old Style Foot Rendering" to speed up software.
  • Spira Kinetic Footwear:    Sturdy Leather Upper Kinetic Footwear which absorbs 97% of high impact forces from man made surfaces (asphalt - cement - tile) through the utilization of Concentric Coils buried in the plantar forefoot and heel of the outer-sole.   Ideal for Cavus Feet. Knee and Spinal pain as well as the Diabetic Foot.   Requires Optical Imager, Laser, Plaster Cast or Foam Box impressions in addition to 3DO data.
  • Multiple Systems:   Cloud Software enables you to have multiple software licenses operating at the same time.   All you need is to download software, have System ID number and Password.

Facts You Should Know . . . Before you buy
  • You can not make a true Precision Bio-Engineered Orthotics from 2D Imaging Sources.  These are considered "Smoke and Mirror Technologies" and are severely limited in providing real quality 3D data for custom manufacturing.   Make sure you ask for 3D data from companies such as Foot Levelers who claim their technology is 3D.   Get the facts !   Companies such as Foot Maxx (Foot Levelers). TOG and other 2D force sensor companies claim they produce 3D images.   These images are not true 3D geometry, they are interpolated 3D Pressure Mapping.
  • Static Imaging Systems do not provide Functional Data which is Critical to the evaluation of Orthopedic Diseases.   Examples are 3D Laser, (including our G3 Laser), Amfit and others.   The same is true for 2D Optical (Tom Cat - Pedalign etc.).   Functional assessment is the key.
  • Bio-Engineered Devices are the next generation of Biomechanical Devices made from Precise Static & Dynamic data.   Lab technicians get to see all you see and more relative to Static and Dynamic function. 
Operation
 
Requirements
  • Windows XP - Vista - Windows 7 - Windows 8
  • Internet Connection  (Cell Phone Hot Spot - DSL - T1 or Higher)
  • Approximately 6 feet of floor space for ambulation
  • 32 or 64 bit CPU
  • Flat Floor Surface (Use bevel to make sure floor is 0 degrees)

 
Hardware Upgrades - Parallel to USB
  • This enables you to connect to faster computers and Windows 7 and 8 platforms.
  • This requires a hardware retrofit (removal and replacement) of electronic Controller Board.
  • Imager is recalibrated and sent back to you.
  • Arrangements are made through Technical Support at Digital Orthotics - Dr. Craig Lowe or Dan (714-669-9600)
  • Hardware upgrade costs $1000.00 plus shipping (approx. $40.00).  Average turn-around is 7 to 10 business days.

Miscellaneous Comments
 
3D Orthodynamics Imaging (3DO) should be a baseline assessment in all load bearing diseases of the body.   Your ability to see the "unseeable" linear and sheer forces and their effects in all three body planes is vital to maximizing patient care.

Other benefit not discussed here is the ability to provide critical outcome measurement information to referring physicians.  Using the report generator and a cover letter can greatly accelerate referrals from other physicians to refer more of their patients to you for medical care they can not provide. http://properimagingprocedure.blogspot.com.    Patients generally do not want to be on medication or to have surgery which treats the symptom and not the cause of pain.   Patients want more effective remedies to their health care problems rather than use toxic medications and failed surgeries.

Insurance Billing is another great practice management income tool for the use of 3DO Imaging  http://insurancebillingoptionc.blogspot.com  

Our future plans include the use of Google Ad campaigns to identify patients who want access to Bio Engineered Orthotics and we will drive these patients into your office http://googledigitalorthoticscampaign.blogspot.com 

You will see, we are "Pro Doctor" and we want to change how health care is delivered in both in Load Bearing Orthopedic Diseases as well a large Organic Diseases populations.
