Sarav Shah, MD, is the first surgeon in the Boston area to use Exactech's Predictive+ tool, the company said Sept. 12.
Predict+ uses machine learning to predict patient outcomes after shoulder replacement, according to a news release. It aims to help surgeons personalize treatment modalities for patients.
"By inputting data points like a patient’s age, surgical history, diagnosis, pain level and pre-operative range of motion, the Predict+ machine learning algorithms can predict the shoulder replacement outcomes for my patients based on thousands of other patients who have already had surgery," Dr. Shah said in the release.
