For orthopaedic surgeons

Your patients get you. Every time.

You built your protocols over thousands of patients. Right now they reach the patients who reach out. Fios delivers them to every patient you operate on, at the relevant time, by SMS, phone and email, in your words, from booking through recovery.

Dr. Miller said no lifting over 10lbs. Does that include my toddler?
Yes, that includes your toddler. Hold off until your 6-week follow-up.

The problem

The work that follows you home.

Your MAs spend half their day answering the same twelve questions. The rest land on you. The message at 9pm. The explanation you have given four hundred times, given again in clinic. The follow-up call and email tail that never quite ends.

None of it is clinical work. All of it is your time.

And the patients who never call, who just search the internet and hope, are the ones you would most want to hear from.

Three things get better.

Every patient hears the same thing

Your guidance, consistently, regardless of who is on shift or what time they ask.

Your team stops repeating itself

Routine questions answered, anything that needs a human flagged straight to them.

Your evenings come back

An estimated 65 staff hours saved on one surgeon's patients over four months, and the after-hours messages handled by something that answers in seconds.

Your judgment stays the source.

The fear about AI in clinical settings is not that it will fail. It is that it will slowly replace the thinking you spent a career building, and answer your patients in a voice that is not yours.

Fios works the other way around.

  • Your protocol documents become your pathways
  • Fios answers only from knowledge you have signed off
  • When a question falls outside it, the answer is not a guess. It escalates to your team

What it learns stays yours.

Fios is organized around per-surgeon caseloads. Your knowledge base, your patient conversations and your outcomes data accrue to your caseload, with export whenever you want it.

Enterprise patient engagement platforms are bought by institutions and owned by them. What their systems learn about how you practice becomes an asset of the organization. Fios is the other model.

  • Your caseload, separate from every other surgeon in the practice
  • Conversation history and outcomes data that belong to your caseload
  • Per-patient export, any time
  • No organizational contract, no platform lock-in

PROMs collected where patients answer.

Surveys arrive inside the conversation your patients have been using all year, anchored to your name, on a channel they already respond to. Eligibility, response rates, matched pairs and provider variables tracked as you go.

You do not need permission.

No hospital contract. No procurement cycle. No EMR project, and no IT department deciding when you go live. Create your workspace, submit your protocols for build and review, and manage your plan and billing in the product.

Fios is the only perioperative patient communication product a surgeon can adopt on their own.

When you want to bring in a partner, that is adding a caseload, not starting again.

FAQ

Questions surgeons ask.

There is nothing for them to integrate. Fios sits alongside whatever you use, without touching your EMR, and your staff add a patient once rather than learning a platform.
You submit the protocol documents you already have. The pathway is built and comes back to you for review. Your part is approving it.
There is no app, no login and no password to recover. It arrives via SMS from your practice and they reply to it. That is the entire interaction.
It escalates to your team rather than guessing. Every conversation is visible to you.
Scribes handle the visit. Fios handles everything between visits. Different job, and they work alongside each other.
Once your pathways are approved, none by default. You see what you want to see.

Start with one patient.

Create your workspace, submit your protocols, and add a patient this week. You can do this on your own. Or book a call and we will walk you through it.
