Zebra Medical Vision announced a co-development and commercialization agreement with DePuy Synthes to bring artificial intelligence technology to orthopedists.
“We are thrilled to start this collaboration and have the opportunity to impact and improve orthopedic procedures and outcomes in areas including the knee, hip, shoulder, trauma and spine care,” Eyal Gura, co-founder and CEO of Zebra Medical Vision, said in the release.
According to a company press release, the technology from Zebra Medical Vision uses algorithms to create 3D models from X-ray images. This technology is predicted to bring affordable preoperative surgical planning without the need for MRI- or CT-based imaging.
“We share a common vision surrounding the impact we can have on patients’ lives through the use of AI and we are happy to initiate such a meaningful strategic partnership, leveraging the tools and knowledge we have built around bone health AI in the last 5 years,” Gura said.
This AI technology is planned to be included in DePuy Synthes’ VELYS digital surgery solutions for preoperative and postoperative patient care.
