Computer-implemented method and system for producing an orthopedic device

A method for producing an orthopedic device, in particular, an orthosis or prosthesis, comprising:

• receiving at least one data set with patient data;
• processing the patient data in order to create a patient model;
• using the patient model to determine patient parameters;
• generating a virtual representation of the orthopedic device using the patient parameters and device parameters;
• receiving at least one input from at least one user;
• modifying at least one of the patient parameters or the device parameters on the basis of the input;
• and
• physically creating the orthopedic device making use of at least one of the device parameters, the patient parameters, or a model of the orthopedic device that is generated on the basis of the patient parameters.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a computer program, the computer program comprising computer readable program code that when executed causes at least one computer unit to:

• receive at least one data set with patient data;
• process the patient data in order to create a patient model;
• use the patient model to determine patient parameters;
• generate a virtual representation of an orthopedic device using the patient parameters and device parameters;
• receive at least one input from at least one user;
• modify at least one of the patient parameters or the device parameters on the basis of the input;
• and
• physically create the orthopedic device making use of at least one of the device parameters, the patient parameters, or a model of the orthopedic device that is generated on the basis of the patient parameters.

A system for producing an orthopedic device, in particular, an orthosis or prosthesis, comprising:

• a design server that comprises:
• at least one digital interface for receiving a data record with patient data;
• at least one database with training data for creating a patient model on the basis of the patient data and the training data;
• at least one computer unit for generating 3D data of the orthopedic device;
• and
• a visualization apparatus, in particular a web server, that is configured to display the 3D data as a virtual representation of the orthopedic device and to receive at least one input from at least one user,
• wherein the computer unit uses the input in order to:
• modify at least one of device parameters or patient parameters, and
• on the basis of the device parameters and the patient parameters, generate production data for physical creation of the orthopedic device.
