Mercy Medical Center Now Offers New Smart Implant for Knee with Advantages for Patient and Surgeon

Leave a comment


“Essentially it’s a joint replacement using a prosthesis equipped with smart device that can track the patient’s progress,” Dr. Hungerford said.

Surgeons and care teams are provided remote access to key post-operative metrics throughout their patient’s surgical journey in order to monitor post-TKA (Total knee arthroplasty) activity levels between office visits.

The smart knee implant captures relevant gait metrics including:

  •     Functional Knee Range of Motion (ROM)
  •     Qualified Step Count
  •     Walking Speed
  •     Cadence
  •     Distance Traveled
  •     Stride Length

The smart knee implants provide a direct view of patient-specific data for at least 10 years, allowing surgeons to monitor their patients’ activity level between visits. This way, they can stay connected during patients’ total knee arthroplasty post-surgical care.

Additionally, patients may feel more connected in their recovery journey when they are able to follow their post-operative metrics — fostering higher patient interaction.

“Through this new technology, there is greater patient engagement, and surgeons can monitor how a patient is progressing remotely. This means better management of postoperative care,” Dr. Hungerford said.

“With the Persona IQ, as a physician, I’m no longer merely estimating how well a patient’s joint is working after surgery—I have the data to determine how my patient is really doing,” Dr. Neubauer said.

“Mercy is always looking for ways to improve our patient experiences and treatment outcomes,” said Dr. Hungerford, “whether it’s the emphasis on pre-surgical education, improvements to surgical pathways or advances in techniques and equipment. The smart implants offer real benefits to post-operative care, and we’re looking forward to sharing those with patients.”

Founded in 1874 by The Sisters of Mercy, Mercy is home to the acclaimed Weinberg Center for Women’s Health & Medicine and the $400+ million, 20-story Mary Catherine Bunting Center. A university-affiliated teaching hospital, Mercy is nationally recognized with Magnet status for nursing excellence and named by Healthgrades as one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery.

According to Mercer, a global consulting leader in healthcare, the U.S. will see millions of vacancies in critical healthcare positions by 2025, including openings for registered nurses, nurse practitioners, nursing assistants, home health aides and more.

“With so many job opportunities on the horizon, the right career services are a must,” said Ricketts. “The top schools in our rankings offer career counseling and/or career placement to help students land key positions in some of today’s most important healthcare fields.”

EduMed.org researched and analyzed more than 7,700 accredited schools using data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and from the schools themselves.

  • Academic counseling services
  • Career placement services
  • Student-to-faculty ratio
  • Tuition
  • Percent of students receiving school-based financial aid
  • Amount of school-based aid per student

To be eligible for ranking consideration, a school must hold active regional accreditation and have at least one partially online program in the ranking subject.

Schools with the most appearances in EduMed’s rankings for 2024:

  1. Liberty University – 23
  2. Purdue University Global – 21
  3. The University of West Florida – 20
