Canary Medical was recently recognized as a finalist for the 2023 Best of Sensors Awards in the Medtech category presented by Sensors Converge.

Canary Medical’s first orthopedic analytic module, Recovery Curves, was selected as the winner of the 2023 “Healthcare Analytics Innovation Award ” in the 7th annual MedTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by MedTech Breakthrough

Enabling technology is ushering in a new era in orthopedics and challenging the status quo. Innovations from large companies and startup firms change how surgeons operate and reimagine what’s possible in orthopedic procedures.

Canary Medical recently launched Canary Quantile Recovery Curves, an analytic module that collects data from all patients who received the Persona IQ implant. Data pooled from multiple patients allows surgeons to compare the parameters of individual patients — activity levels and knee kinematics — and rank them against peers of the same gender, who are in the same age group and who have a similar elapsed time since they underwent surgery. Surgeons can use that comparison to guide the recovery plan of individual patients in the year following surgery.

Reimbursement and payment pathways are the biggest barriers to market entry for new technologies, according to Bill Hunter, M.D., CEO of Canary Medical.
