Smith+Nephew Introduces AI-Powered Planning Software, Data Visualization Platform

Smith+Nephew introduced two product that close the loop for its robotics and digital surgery portfolio: Personalized Planning powered by AI and RI.INSIGHTS Data visualization Platform.

RI.KNEE ROBOTICS v2.0 – Personalized Planning powered by AI

S+N’s CORI surgical system expands knee replacement capability with Personalized Planning powered by AI, guided by RI.INSIGHTS data. The surgeon can use this to set the initial implant placement in the total knee procedure based on AI-guided reference values and surgical planning preferences for specific implants and patient-specific deformities.
 
“Advanced analytics combined with the CORI Surgical System will offer a new dimension in joint arthroplasty. It will allow for true personalization when performing joint replacement procedures,” Dr. Thorsten Seyler of Duke University told the press.

RI.INSIGHTS Data Visualization Platform

Using this, surgeons can reference individual case performance and benchmark the data against an anonymized global database. The platform was engineered to give surgeons a simple, effective way to link patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to pre-op planning and intra-op decisions in robotically-enable knee replacements.
 
Surgeon-specific dashboards allow analyzing procedure data like case times, resections, and alignment, as well as ligament tensioning data from the CORI digital tensioner.
 
“The ability to retrospectively and prospectively evaluate and characterize data, to do what is best for every patient is unique and something we have not been able to do before now,” said Dr. Steven Nishiyama at Desert Orthopaedic Center.
 
S+N’s robotics and digital surgery portfolio closes the feedback loop between intra-op decision-making and post-op evaluations as part of an AI initiative and continued investment in software and data solutions.
