The 10 Companies Booming in Healthcare Sector

patients care for a variety of musculoskeletal problems

concentrate on the more difficult cases, while the
technology guides the other patients through the
program. “Up to six patients can be treated by one
therapist,” says Arno.
This has also opened a completely new market for
medical centers, the on-going prevention care with a
membership model. Most of the patients that went

in the maintenance program. This requires very little
personnel resources and provides steady income stream
for the clinic.
