Physical Therapy (PT) software constitutes a segment within Electronic Health Record (EHR) software, specifically tailored to cater to a spectrum of healthcare professional services. It serves the purpose of maintaining comprehensive and seamless EHR records for patients undergoing treatment for conditions such as accidents, osteoporosis, post-surgery rehabilitation, and various other medical needs.
The primary types of terminals in physical therapy software encompass PC terminals and mobile terminals. A PC terminal functions as a hardware device facilitating the input, retrieval, and display of electronic data. In the domain of physical therapy software, PC terminals play a crucial role in averting administrative errors within hospitals and rehabilitation centers. These systems are deployed in diverse environments including on-premises and cloud-based setups, strategically implemented across hospitals, clinics, and other relevant healthcare facilities.

The rising prevalence of osteoporosis is anticipated to drive the growth of the physical therapy software market. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when bone mineral density and mass decrease or when bone structure or quality deteriorates. Individuals with low calcium intake are more susceptible to developing osteoporosis. Physical therapy software assists patients by providing information on treatment plans, claims, invoices, or home exercise recommendations throughout their clinical journey. For example, in May 2022, statistics published by Amgen Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, indicated that osteoporosis causes approximately 1.5 million fractures annually in the United States, leading to $19 billion in related costs. Additionally, the annual number of osteoporosis-related fractures is projected to increase by 68% from 2018 to 2040, rising from 1.9 million to 3.2 million. As a result, the increasing prevalence of osteoporosis is expected to boost the physical therapy software market.
The rising demand for physical therapists is projected to fuel the growth of the physical therapy software market. Physical therapists are healthcare professionals who help individuals with impaired physical functioning regain mobility and comfort. Physical therapy software is a critical tool for physical therapists, offering a range of features that streamline practice management, improve patient care, and enhance efficiency. For instance, in September 2023, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a principal agency of the U.S. Federal Statistical System, reported that there were approximately 246,800 physical therapist jobs in 2022, with a projected 15% increase, adding 37,300 new jobs between 2022 and 2032. Therefore, the growing demand for physical therapists is driving the expansion of the physical therapy software market.
Major companies in the physical therapy software market are increasingly focusing on developing advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) to perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence and judgment. AI is integrated into physical therapy software to analyze, display, and understand complex medical and healthcare data about patients, mimicking human behavior. For example, in May 2024, Epic Systems, a US-based healthcare software company, introduced an open-source AI validation tool for physical therapy software aimed at helping healthcare organizations test and monitor AI models integrated with electronic health record systems. This tool is designed to ensure equitable performance and improve the integrity of AI applications in healthcare, enhancing the reliability of AI-driven patient care solutions in physical therapy.
Companies in the physical therapy software market are also focusing on developing advanced solutions like patient scheduling software to gain a competitive advantage. Patient scheduling software is a digital tool that streamlines the appointment booking process in healthcare environments. For instance, in July 2022, CORA Physical Therapy, a US-based physical therapy provider, launched a new digital platform to enhance patient convenience and streamline appointment scheduling. This innovative platform allows patients to book real-time appointments across CORA's network of over 250 locations, significantly reducing wait times and improving access to care. This initiative is part of CORA's broader digital transformation strategy to connect patients with the right care more efficiently.
In April 2022, Netsmart, a US-based health technology company, acquired TheraOffice for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition expands the Netsmart CareFabric platform by offering enhanced processes for therapy providers to better integrate with various healthcare settings. TheraOffice is a US-based provider of electronic medical record (EMR) software for physical therapy practices.
