Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Matt Barber discusses the future of patient-specific surgeries with Enhatch.

Enhatch recently participated in the insightful webinar organized by Synopsys Simpleware "AI-powered Efficiency: Enhatch and Synopsys for Patient-Specific Image-Based Surgical Planning".

The landscape of orthopedic surgeries in the United States is experiencing a profound shift. There has been a staggering increase in procedures performed at ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). 

As we navigate through the 21st century, Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands at the forefront of transforming healthcare, with orthopedic surgery being a prime example.

Enhatch co-founder, Peter Verillo, sat down with Ira Kirschenbaum MD to talk about JOEI in Chicago at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) this year. Watch the video to learn more.

The main focus of orthopedic surgeries today is faster surgeries, improved outcomes, and satisfied patients. However, many things stand in the way of achieving this goal.

At Enhatch, we strongly believe that open, digital ecosystems will deliver a universe of innovation to enhance the future of surgery, not only for orthopaedics but the entire medical device industry.

Knee replacement surgery is one of the fastest-growing procedures in recent years. While total knee surgery is successful and quite common, nearly 20% of patients are dissatisfied with their results after total knee surgery. 

AI is here to stay, and the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of AI in healthcare. Organizations are increasingly using AI to help reduce costs and enhance customer experience, including the world of supply chain. 

Spine surgeries have been slower to transition to an outpatient setting because of their complexity. However, some spine procedures are now considered lower risk and safe for Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC).
