DePuy Synthes launched Velys Hip Navigation with AI Assistance in the U.S., bringing artificial intelligence to total hip arthroplasty for the first time on its VELYS Hub platform, according to a June 10 news release.
The system automates intraoperative image interpretation and landmark identification for real-time, patient-specific data. The AI model was trained on geographically diverse, deidentified clinical datasets and uses a human-in-the-loop design that keeps surgeons in control of final anatomical decisions.
“This solution is designed to streamline workflows and reduce complexity by providing real-time, patient-specific insights,” Sharrolyn Josse, global president of joint reconstruction, said in the release. “It is not simply an update to VELYS Hip Navigation; it is the next generation of the platform, built to keep control in the surgeon’s hands.”
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.
