RegenMed & IOF Partnership: September Newsletter Update
In the middle of 2023, RegenMed partnered with the Interventional Orthobiologics Foundation “IOF” to offer dozens of unique Circles to the IOF’s growing membership. These Circles are made available through a members-only research portal and are organized by distinct tags, including principal investigator, product/protocol topic, and Industry funder. The IOF Circle library allows its members to find and join a Circle of interest, collaborate within smaller, more focused sub-groups of their colleagues, and immediately access and utilize real-world patient outcomes and other relevant data within their Circle of choice. In addition, many IOF members have elected to design, launch and grow their own proprietary Circles, and use the portal, and RegenMed, to help recruit colleagues as co-investigators, and Industry partners as funders.
Membership participation on this new research portal has been high, and we are proud to share a few IOF Circle highlights below:
Circles: PRP Quality Improvement for Musculoskeletal and Sexual Health Conditions
Circle PI: Grant Pagdin, M.D., CCFP, FCFP, ABAARM
Circle Funder: MDBiologix
Grant Pagdin, M.D. has used Circles for nearly two years to track his everyday PRP patient outcomes for knees, shoulders, hips, elbows and ankles. He promotes his evidence-based approach to patients through his website, and now makes his Circles available to IOF colleagues who wish to use, and contribute to, his real-world databases. Dr. Pagdin will soon be launching the first Canadian chapter of IOF, bringing IOF training, standards and evidence to another growing community of orthobiologic practitioners.
Circles: Unique Bioformulations For Specific Treatment of Knee and Shoulder Pathologies
Circle PI: Peter Everts, Ph.D. FRSM
Circle Funder: Gulf Coast Biologics
The Gulf Coast Biologics “GCB” Knee and Shoulder Circles, led by Peter Everts, Ph.D. comprises 10 expert orthobiologic practitioners, including IOF members Drs. Ariana DeMers, Walter Sussman, Alberto Panero, Imran Siddiqui, abd Shounuck Patel. Each Circle member logs their unique formulations and injection methodologies across a wide-range of pathoanatomic conditions affecting one or both knees. Everyday patient outcomes are captured through the Circles patented apps, significance quantified using a robust statistical analysis, and pearls discussed during private, monthly “Circle Hours”.
Circles: Investigator-Initiated, MFAT Clinical Follow Up Study
Circle PI: Ariana DeMers, D.O.
Circle Funder: JoinTechLabs
Led by IOF president Dr. Ariana DeMers, and co-investigated by IOF members Drs. John Ferrell, Imran Siddiqui and others, these Circles assess the efficacy and safety of MFAT using a mix of patient-reported and clinical outcome measures. JoinTechLabs has provided support for these investigator-initiated Circles, and invites other MFAT users to join and contribute their own outcomes and other data. A new Ankle Circle, also designed by IOF members, is expected to launch in 3Q23.
Circles: Engaging, Automated Patient-Reported Outcomes Circles
Not all IOF members have time to participate in nuanced Circle topics, and many instead prefer to simply track their everyday patients’ long-term outcomes. Our library of Outcomes-Only Circles represent out-of-the-box solutions for deploying digitized, validated patient-reported outcomes measures against any patient population, and engaging patients in an interactive and personalized outcomes reporting experience long after their treatment. They are automated, burden-free solutions ready to go within any clinical practice.
We look forward to sharing further updates on our partnership with the IOF, and our growing libraries of Circles, during the next newsletter.
