zTreatment
The exam, the treatment, the laser session and the patient's chart, on one screen. Built inside Realief Neuropathy Centers of Minnesota, and used there for every visit.
The conversation, at every step
Neuropathy care is a long relationship: a first exam, the early weeks when the patient needs to see it working, and years of maintenance after. Each stage has its own talk with the patient, and zTreatment puts the picture for that talk in front of you both.
The first exam: "This is what I found, and this is the plan."
What the patient reports and what you find on examination are drawn on a body diagram, on screen, where they can see it. The treatment is built from those findings, so when you approve it the patient has already seen why. They leave the first visit with a plan they understand: a course of treatments, and a reason for each one.
Early progress: "Here's where you started. Here's where you are."
A few treatments in, the chart draws today's findings on the body and shows every finding that has resolved since the first visit as an outline. Compare puts the first visit beside today's. The patient sees progress on the screen, in their own picture, which is what carries them through the weeks when it is hard to feel.
Long-term maintenance: "Here's what we've held onto. Let's keep it."
When the first course of care is complete, the chart is the reason to come back. Maintenance visits keep the same record going, every visit draws the same picture, and the patient's report prints from the chart whenever they want to take it home. Twenty years of keeping neuropathy patients in care, built into the application.
What's on the screen
One visit is one screen. Each part says where it stands in a single word, one line names what to do next, and a part that can't start yet says why.
Patient evaluation
The intake history, taken once. Symptoms recorded on the body diagram, zone by zone: pain on a scale of ten, tingling, numbness, tightness, hot or cold. Standard outcome measures at every visit: reflexes, cold sensation, the NTSS-6 symptom score and motor function. The provider's own signs on the same diagram: light touch, pinprick, vibration and function, each hypersensitive, hyposensitive or absent. Skin condition and pulses. Limb measurements, with an estimate from body type when there is no time to tape.
Treatment planning
A course of care with an approved number of treatments, extended or ended early with a reason. The treatment engine builds each patient's prescription from their signs and limb measurements: the areas, the power, the time per step and the order. The provider reviews, adjusts a step by hand, leaves an area out, and approves. The clinic's own ready-made steps are kept as templates.
The laser session
A technician runs the approved treatment from the same screen: the settings shown before anything starts, each step named with its instructions, a wireless button to start it, the time kept on screen, and the laser stopping on its own when the step is done. Every second of it goes on the record. The session can also be delivered without a connected laser.
Documentation
The visit note writes itself from the symptoms and outcome scores, in sentences, and copies into your practice-management system. Notes open beside the work, not over it. Therapy notes follow the patient to the start of every session.
The chart and the reports
Summary, visit history, Overview and Compare. The Overview draws one visit's findings and lays an earlier visit over it, so what has resolved shows as an outline. Outcomes charts the whole course of care: how much of the body is affected, visit by visit, a severity score, and a radar per limb. The patient report and the visit report print as PDFs, with the first exam beside the latest. A priced care plan prints for the patient to sign, with an insured variant.
The patient's tablet
A four-digit code opens the visit on a tablet in the clinic. The patient answers the NTSS-6 and the quality-of-life, pain and chemotherapy neuropathy surveys themselves, and reads handouts and watches short videos about their condition while they wait.
Running the practice
An in-office dashboard of who is in the building and where each visit stands. A monthly visits report for the practice manager. Users and roles for providers, technicians and front desk. More than one clinic on one system.
The laser it works with
zTreatment drives a class IV therapeutic laser over a direct connection, and treats without one when it has to. Ask us about yours.
What a neuropathy program takes
We'd rather you know going in.
- A provider for the exam. History, symptoms, signs and measurements, and the approvals. That is where the provider's time goes.
- A technician for the sessions. Treatment is delivered in your office, with the laser, and a session runs about thirty minutes. zTreatment starts, times and ends each step, so the session is a technician's job, not the provider's.
- A treatment room and a laser zTreatment works with. Ask us about yours.
- Patients who come back. A first course of care is a plan of treatments, twelve is typical, and maintenance visits follow as the patient's condition calls for them. The chart is what keeps them coming.
