Kinomatic, an AI- and virtual reality-driven orthopedic surgery planning and aftercare company, closed a $4 million seed funding round led by Waterline Ventures and named Andrew Wickline, MD, chief medical officer.
The company will use the funding to expand its workforce, open a new office and continue developing its AI-enabled surgical planning platform focused on long-term, opioid-sparing outcomes in the preoperative and recovery phases of total knee and hip replacement surgery, according to a June 18 news release.
The company’s platform combines AI-enabled surgical planning and VR-enabled surgical simulation. The platform analyzes more than two million data points from more than 1,000 unique measurements per patient to identify an optimal match from more than 30,000 possible implant configurations.
Dr. Wickline joins Kinomatic after developing March2aMillion, a nonprofit initiative focused on reducing opioid dependency in orthopedic surgery. In his new role, he will help advance the company’s postoperative recovery protocols.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
