About Activity MD
The Activity MD Mobility Specialists
Diseases from metabolic disorders are being treated with acute care. Unfortunately, much of the current health care crisis in the U.S. is due to the growing need for acute care despite a decrease in the number of facilities which provide that care. If we can reduce the need for acute care and its associated costs and shift to a proactive form of care in which lifestyle can be monitored using a non-interpretive system that strictly measures against performance standards, then individuals can achieve improved quality of life and prevent debilitating health conditions.
Activity MD in Omaha, Nebraska is a research driven organization committed to fully leveraging the ongoing convergence of medicine and technology to achieve higher levels of overall health and fitness. The team at Activity MD is uniquely positioned to meet the challenge presented. Through our team's collaborative relationship, we have enjoyed a high rate of success with people who have experienced severe trauma or injury, such as recovering from surgery. Through our program, these individuals have discovered new levels of health never before achieved. This cutting-edge practice is maintained through our continuing partnership in research with the University of Nebraska at Omaha, which is helping establish a numerical, noninterpretive mathematical logic system as a valid medical tool. The broad experience and expertise of the Activity MD team includes:
