Frequently Asked Questions

Sonus: Blueprint is a clinical calculation support tool designed for licensed chiropractic professionals using established EPIC and Advanced Orthogonal technique protocols.

It applies structured protocol logic to clinician-entered measurements and displays suggested setup parameters for professional review.

Sonus: Blueprint supports — but does not replace — independent clinical judgment.

Sonus: Blueprint is available in two editions:

• Sonus: Blueprint – Clinic Edition, intended for licensed practitioners.
• Sonus: Blueprint – Student Edition, intended for educational use in supervised training environments.

 The Student Edition is intended for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional licensure or independent clinical responsibility.

All data entry is performed by the clinician or their staff. Sonus: Blueprint does not independently verify measurement accuracy.

Because outputs are directly based on entered values, inaccurate or manipulated inputs will directly affect the displayed calculations. The responsibility for accurate measurement and data entry remains solely with the licensed practitioner.

Sonus: Blueprint is designed to streamline workflow. Instead of mentally calculating setup parameters during patient positioning, the calculations are structured and displayed for review.

Many practices delegate measurement entry to trained staff under clinician supervision. Average entry time is typically 1–2 minutes per patient.

No. Sonus: Blueprint does not diagnose medical conditions or determine patient treatment.

It displays calculations derived from clinician-entered measurements using established technique protocols.
