NEW YORK – May 8, 2025 – Vori Health, the first and only nationwide physician-led medical practice for musculoskeletal (MSK) care, has been named “Best Patient Experience Solution Provider” in the 9th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards. The recognition honors Vori’s reimagining of MSK care for patients, employers, and health plans—combining physician-led care, whole-person treatment, and technology-driven access in one seamless experience.
Unlike fragmented MSK pathways that leave patients waiting weeks for answers or bouncing between disconnected providers, Vori Health offers a virtual-first model designed for speed, clarity, and continuity. Many patients begin care with a telehealth visit where they meet simultaneously with a board-certified physician and physical therapist (PT)—receiving a diagnosis and care plan that reflects the full picture, including physical, medical, and lifestyle needs. Recovery is supported by the same physician and PT, along with dietitians and health coaches who provide coordinated, ongoing support. AI-powered tools enhance the experience, helping patients stay engaged, track progress, and access care between visits. In-person care is available through clinics in more than 200 metropolitan areas.
“Musculoskeletal patients are often left to navigate a maze of delays, misdiagnoses, and fragmented care,” said Steve Johansson, Managing Director of MedTech Breakthrough. “Vori Health replaces that chaos with an integrated, patient-first model that gets results. It’s a true breakthrough.”
Recent research has also validated the model’s impact. A JMIR Formative Research study of Vori’s dual-specialist virtual visit found that 92% of patients reported increased confidence in understanding their diagnosis and treatment plan, and over 90% said the approach reduced care delays.

At scale, Vori Health delivers measurable improvements over traditional care—driving 3X higher engagement rates, reducing elective orthopedic surgeries by up to 90%, and generating up to a 4:1 return on investment. These results reflect faster recoveries, fewer unnecessary procedures, and a care experience that puts patients first.
“This award is especially meaningful because it reflects why we built Vori—to put patients at the center of a more connected, compassionate care experience,” said Dr. Ryan Grant, Co-Founder and CEO. “We’re proud to be setting a new standard for musculoskeletal care.”
