PeekMed has launched a web-based automated planning solution for the orthopedic technology market.
The new PeekMed solution is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning technology. It supports live automatic segmentation of CT scans and X-rays, automatic landmarks detection, and automatic planning. It presents an accurate plan to the surgeon, live, in under 30 seconds. All planning steps are automatic and the surgeon only has to approve them, or perform changes if needed.
João Pedro Ribeiro, Chairman and CEO of PeekMed, told the press, "With this FDA clearance, PeekMed is ready, once again, to be a game-changer in the integration of technology with orthopedics. Having the ability to get a plan in less than 30 seconds is just incredible and a huge achievement for our team. We understood the pains of our surgeons, who were waiting hours, or sometimes days, to get a case planned. We aim to solve those challenges!"
PeekMed is already a partner to over 3,500 orthopedic surgeons worldwide. The company claims there are no new severe risks despite the automatic processes because the generated 3D models, landmarks, and planning are always reviewed and validated by the surgeon as needed and can be manually adjusted as needed.
PeekMed web can perform a total overview of the surgery by representing medical images in a 2D or 3D configuration, performing relevant measurements on those images, and adding templates. It easily connects with other orthopedic solutions in the most-used anatomical regions—knee, hip, and upper limb—of adults.
