Spinal Tech

DePuy Synthes entered into a co-development and commercialization agreement with Israel-based Zebra to incorporate artificial intelligence into orthopedics.

 

Four things to know:

1. Zebra-Med's technology uses algorithms to create 3D models from X-ray images, which surgeons can use during the preoperative surgical planning stage. The technology does not require an MR or CT-based imaging.

2. The partners plan to introduce the technology as part of DePuy Synthes' VELYS Digital Surgery solution for preoperative, operative and postoperative patient care.

3. Johnson & Johnson Medical Device Cos. introduced the VELYS Digital Surgery platform on Dec. 9, which includes patient solutions and optimization; surgical planning; surgical implementation; and post-op monitoring.
