Persona IQ is the first implantable knee replacement device that allows for remote patient monitoring and data collection, and it is the only smart knee implant with De Novo status from the FDA for total knee replacements.
Persona IQ collects data including range of motion, step count and walking speed, and it has a battery that lasts for approximately 20 years. The collected information is moved to a cloud-based, HIPAA-compliant platform where it can be monitored and reviewed by a patient’s physician.
“The Persona IQ smart knee will undoubtedly kick off an evolutionary process in
orthopedic innovation,” Dennis Pfisterer, DO, an orthopedic administrator at Holy Name, said in the release. “The surgery remains the same, but the information we’ll have access to now will allow us to personalize our patient’s rehabilitation program, tweak medication as necessary and use data to assess how to even better improve mobility and movement.”
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.
