The Cutting Edge of
Knee Replacement Technology

You shouldn't have to guess how your knee replacement is going.
You should have real-time data and AI.

1.

Sensor Implant
We implant smart sensors with accelerometers and gyroscopes inside the knee replacement that connect to the patient's phone.

2.

Calibration
After the sensors are implanted we calibrate the sensors to the patient to start gathering accurate movement and biomechanics data.

3.

Analysis & Reports
We use AI to analyze and compile patient data into useful dashboards and reports with automated alerts.

We use analytics about the knee replacement and activity of the patient to determine that the replacement is OK and alert about any issues.

Accurate activity recognition using AI.

Welcome to the future of
knee replacement

spectrograms

Our cutting-edge AI automatically recognises which activity the patient is doing and can detect that a knee replacement is becoming loose.

We have developed cutting edge microchips with accelerometers and gyroscopes which get implanted into both parts of the knee replacement.

We make it easy for doctors and patients to collaborate on a treatment plan in real-time.

Activity Recognition

Activity Recognition AI

Our proprietary AI can detect which activity the patient is engaged in throughout the day based on the sensor data coming from the accelerometers and gyroscopes in the Connected Knee™ smart implant.

FAQ

Whether you're curious about Connected Knee's features, data handling capabilities, or integration options, we've got you covered.

What is the Connected Knee™ smart implant?
The Connected Knee™ is an advanced knee replacement implant equipped with sensors that provide real-time data on patient activity, helping doctors monitor knee health and detect issues like loosening to ensure the best patient recovery possible.
How does the implant gather data?
The implant includes microchips with accelerometers and gyroscopes. These sensors collect movement and biomechanical data, which is then transmitted to the patient's phone and analyzed through our AI system.
How secure is my data?
We prioritize patient privacy and data security. All data is encrypted and only accessible to authorized users. Our system complies with healthcare data standards to ensure your information is protected.
Can the Connected Knee™ detect if my knee replacement is loose?
Yes, our proprietary AI can detect patterns in movement that indicate potential loosening of the knee replacement, allowing doctors to intervene early if needed.
Can I access my health data from anywhere?
Yes, with the Connected Knee™ Patient Dashboard, doctors and patients can view real-time data, manage alerts, and track progress from anywhere in the world.
