BTS Bioengineering

Integration of BTS Bioengineering into the Datico® LIFE HUB

With the connection of BTS Bioengineering, Datico® significantly expands 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 into the Datico® LIFE HUB in a structured manner, supplement it there, and integrate it into higher-level processes.

BTS Bioengineering is among 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 highly precise capture and evaluation of movement patterns and thereby provide a central basis for diagnostics and therapy decisions.

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

This is precisely where Datico® comes in. Instead of relying on a conventional interface logic, an integration solution was developed that is geared towards real-world processes and overcomes existing system boundaries. Relevant information can be captured in a structured manner, and analysis results exported from the BTS system can be transferred into the Datico® LIFE HUB.

In the Datico® LIFE HUB, the data is not only centrally consolidated but also enriched with further content such as assessments, comments, or additional documentation components. In this way, a holistic report is created that goes beyond pure motion analysis and enables a well-founded classification within the clinical context.

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

How this approach works in practice is demonstrated by an initial pilot project at the Neurologisches Rehazentrum Rosenhügel in Vienna. The aim was to transfer the highly specialized motion analyses from the BTS system into 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 a noticeably improved documentation and transfer of results.

The connection of BTS Bioengineering is exemplary of a central approach taken by Datico®: integration does not end with APIs but begins with real-world care practice. What is decisive is not solely the technical connection of systems, but their meaningful embedding into existing workflows.

For organizations in rehabilitation, clinics, research, as well as orthopaedics and biomechanics in particular, this approach opens up new possibilities. Motion analyses can be documented in a structured manner, enriched with further information, and seamlessly integrated into existing processes. This not only improves the traceability of therapy progressions but also creates the basis for further evaluations and data-based decisions.

With the integration of BTS Bioengineering into the Datico® LIFE HUB, a clear path thus emerges: interoperability is not exclusively a question of technical interfaces, but above all a question of well-considered process integration. Organizations benefit from a structured data foundation, expanded analysis options, and end-to-end documentation processes – a further step towards consistently data-based health and performance management.

Across the entire Datico® Data Value Chain – Data in Connection, Data in Context, Data in Communication and Data in Consistency – individual data becomes a solid basis for decisions: Better Data. Better Decisions. Better Outcomes.
