Atlantic Health System's Morristown (N.J.) Medical Center added smart knee implant Persona IQ for total knee replacement surgeries.
Persona IQ combines Persona's personalized knee implant with implantable sensor technology, according to a May 16 news release from the health system.
The implantable sensors record and wirelessly transmit gait data from the knee implant to a patient's personalized at-home base station to track pre- and postoperative mobility.
John Dundon, MD, an orthopedic surgeon affiliated with Morristown Medical Center, was the first orthopedic surgeon in New Jersey to perform surgery with the smart knee implant.
