About OrthoPoP
Transforming Orthopedic Understanding
Our Mission
OrthoPoP exists to improve musculoskeletal decision support at the front door of care—helping people and care teams understand symptoms, rule out serious conditions, and choose appropriate next steps, reducing unnecessary utilization while protecting patient safety.
How OrthoPoP Changes Early MSK Decisions
Most MSK escalation happens not because conditions are complex, but because early uncertainty leads to over-testing. OrthoPoP addresses this gap by improving early confidence—before imaging, referrals, or emergency care are initiated while enabling timely interface with provider intake systems.
Expert Team
Led by visionary CEO Doug Blacklidge, DPM, OrthoPoP engaged medical professionals with over 70 years of experience in orthopedic care for input, peer reviews, and analysis. A team of over 30 engineers and subject matter experts helped build the OrthoPoP system.
