Abstract
Combining AI, 3D Printing, Wearables, and Telemedicine for Personalized
Joint Disorder Treatments for Better, More Cost Effective Outcomes
- Alessandra Toninelli of Rejoint on pre-op planning through AI, 3D printed personalized implants, computer aided surgery combined with 3D printed personalized instruments, sensorized wearables, and dedicated apps to connect patients and surgeons;
- Peter T. Bianco of OsteoApp.ai on a proprietary, FDA cleared, cloud-based screening method to prevent debilitating bone fractures for early detection of osteoporosis using rapid automated analysis of standard X-rays that yield immediate, real time clinical results;
- Rabeeh Majidi of OrthoKinetic Track on an AI-driven wearable device that tracks joint kinematics and muscle activity with remote data-sharing capacity for joint impairment monitoring. Machine trained system will track the patient compliance and improvement during rehabilitation and delivers telemedicine, at-home physical therapy and virtual MSK care to improve range of motion and optimize pain control.
- .Jeff Bush of QMed Innovations will describe how QMed Innovations uses an autonomous cellular-IoT asset management device to collect temperature and location data and streamline orthopedic supply chains by leveraging machine learning and predictive analytics.
