UP Health System-Bell is the first in the Upper Peninsula to offer Persona IQ®, the world’s first and only “smart knee” implant. This next-generation implant combines proven joint replacement technology with intelligent data collection to support a more personalized recovery journey.
Unlike traditional knee implants, smart knee implants include embedded microelectronics and sensors that automatically track important post-surgical movement data, such as:
1.How many steps the patient takes.
2.How fast they walk.
3.Their range of motion.
4.Their stride length.
This information is wirelessly transmitted to a secure base station in the patient’s home, then uploaded to a cloud-based system that can be accessed by both the patient and their orthopedic surgeon. This enables real-time remote monitoring and helps inform treatment.
