REMS on the ROAD with Marg & Meg...Coming to a community near you!

Megan Buhrmester from OsteoSound and I are excited to share with you our mission to become leaders in both bone health analysis and preventative & integrative health education in Canada and beyond.

We are honoured to introduce the game-changing Echolight REMS Bone Scan technology to Canadians and emphasize why this new Health Canada approved technology (Class II medical device) is a game changer in the arena of osteoporosis prevention and management.

REMS stands for Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry (REMS).

The novel Fragility Score (FS) parameter, obtained during a REMS scan of lumbar or femoral regions, has been developed for the non-ionizing estimation of skeletal fragility.

We discussed the latest research paper published in the National Library of Medicine authored by Paolo Pisani. According to this research, Fragility Score displayed a superior performance in fracture prediction, representing a valuable diagnostic tool to accurately detect a short-term fracture risk.

Our conversation highlights the importance of educating and empowering all Canadians to be proactive and take control of their health. We discuss the role of musculoskeletal health as the foundation of overall health and the value of organic conversations, active listening, support and patient centred care.

We talked about the importance of sharing evidence-informed strategies to help people be more proactive and advocate for their health and we highlight our learnings from our past year of our collaboration and providing scans to over 450 people.

We are excited to announce our upcoming mobile bone scan clinics and discuss the expansion of our business beyond health & wellness and into corporations as part of workplace wellness programs. We even do Bone Boutiques - our in the comfort of your home service for everyday Canadians.
