METHODS · AUDITABLE SCENARIO ESTIMATES

What might one clinical assessment add up to?

Each protocol has a transparent estimate of annual U.S. assessment activity and potential clinician workflow minutes saved. These are MedMeters planning scenarios, not observed procedure counts, actual demand, validated time reductions, or revenue projections.

The source number of therapists or providers is grounded where possible; participation rates, tests per year and time savings are assumptions. Protocols can overlap across specialties, providers and visits, so do not add their annual figures together. Neurology uses a completely illustrative base (including number of assessment teams).
Source-based starting poolsAPTA, BLS, CMS where available
Explicit use assumptionsActivity frequency is not an observed count
Scenario sensitivityNever treat the model as measured revenue

How the model works

Step 1 · Provider base

A documented workforce or provider count (APTA, BLS, CMS), or an explicitly hypothetical base when reliable counts are not available.

Step 2 · Assessment activity

Annual protocol volume = provider base × assumed clinically relevant share × assumed repetitions per active provider per year.

Step 3 · Workflow time

Potential savings = assumed manual end-to-end workflow minutes − assumed camera-assisted workflow minutes, including setup, review and documentation.

Not a verified clinician count

APTA counts licensed professionals, BLS counts employed positions, and the CMS dataset represents listed agency records. These units are not interchangeable and do not form a single deduplicated market. The CMS dataset can include agencies regardless of currently active status. We do not sum modeled volumes across assessment types.

For sensitivity, halve or multiply the base-case protocol activity by 1.5. This is a rough illustrative range, not a statistical confidence interval. No claims of FDA clearance, clinical efficacy or validated accuracy are implied. Download assumptions (CSV).
