At MedSurf, our goal is to empower
physicians with web-based treatment management tools for
effective interpretation of osteoporosis risk factors.
MedSurf’s first treatment management tool is for osteoporosis risk reporting.
The Remaining Lifetime Fracture Probability reporting
service is an "e-medicine" business model destined to
bring the Internet into the mainstream of treatment management.
MedSurf.s risk assessment tool incorporates not only bone density, but other, important risk factors, including age, bone loss rate, life expectancy, and most importantly, prior, non-violent fractures.

The report generated presents "true" risk of any osteoporotic fracture, expressed as 1-year risk, 5-year risk, and remaining lifetime risk.
MedSurf's underlying method for osteoporosis risk assessment has been documented in more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific publications. The
service has been in use by physicians since 1996 and now
produces thousands of reports each month.
