Mine Real-Time Data to Drive Advancements in Patient Care
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.
