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).
In recent years, the field of orthopedics in the United States has witnessed a remarkable surge in the adoption and development of point-of-care (POC) solutions. 3D printing technology has been one of the key catalysts for this increased adoption.
3D planning software for medical devices allows medical device companies to design, fit, and create patient-specific implants and surgical guides.
As we navigate through the 21st century, Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands at the forefront of transforming healthcare, with orthopedic surgery being a prime example.
Collaboration is key with everything we do at Enhatch and as such, we endeavor to dialogue with other innovators doing extraordinary work in the world of surgery. This led us to our conversation with João Pedro Ribeiro, CEO of PeekMed.
Orthopedic surgeons have always been guided by the pursuit of excellence. Rigorous science, ingenuity, technology, and good old-fashioned elbow grease helped advance the field by leaps.
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.
Spine surgeons today face a much larger surgical burden than ever before. Case complexity and volume of surgeries are on the rise. Meanwhile, a changing healthcare system is rapidly reducing the amount of time available for surgeons to address these issues. Surgeons are expected to increase the number of surgeries they perform. This growing pressure may shorten the time available for preoperative planning.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to save US Healthcare $150 billion annually by 2026. Connected technologies, preliminary diagnosis tools, and intelligent assistants are among the top ten drivers. For surgeons, AI-powered predictive analytics can help understand preoperative risk, increase efficiency, and improve patient outcomes.
