I am currently an O and P student at the University of Washington and would like to gather some opinions on CAD systems for a project I am completing this quarter. I am specifically looking at the Ohio Willow Wood system (Omega Tracer) and Provel System. Any information or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Below are some questions that I have...
1. What do you feel is the optimal use of these CAD CAM systems (e.g. transtibial, TLSO, etc.) and why?
2. In what areas do you feel that CAD CAM is not appropriate for use and why?
3. If you have experience with the two systems (Omega Tracer or Provel), what do you see as the pros and cons of these compared to other CAD systems?
4. What is the training/learning process like for these systems (difficult, easy, time consuming, etc)? How well do the manufacturers support this process?
5. Do you have any suggestions for how best to implement these systems into use at a medium size clinic (5+ practitioners)?
6. In what situations (or with what population) do you feel that the benefits (e.g. time savings, reduced material costs, etc) of purchasing a system outweighs the costs?
7. Can you recommend any resources on this subject (research articles, websites, etc.)?
Again, feel free to provide any information that you have on this subject. Thank you!
