Canary Medical introduced its first orthopedic analytic module, Canary Quantiles™ Recovery Curves. Recovery curves utilize movement data measured by Canary Medical’s proprietary implantable canturio te tibial extension sensor technology integrated with Zimmer Biomet’s Persona IQ knee.
Persona IQ with canturio te tibial extension sensor technology collects various activity measures and gait parameters for at least 10 years. By pooling multiple parameters across the Persona IQ patient population, recovery curves provide frequent, objective aggregate population data of each patient’s activity levels and knee kinematics, and ranks each patient’s knee performance versus their peers based on age group, gender and time since surgery. Clinicians can access and use this daily functional information to determine whether to augment their in-office patient examinations and/or update their care plans in the year following surgery.
Recovery curves are claimed to be the only monitoring tool available to reproducibly characterize an individual patient’s total knee replacement recovery versus objective aggregate population data obtained from identical implantable sensors.
As an implanted technology, data is collected passively with Persona IQ via the canturio te tibial extension sensor technology every day, from the same anatomic location, without charging or replacement. Automatic, at-home data collection and transmission places no additional compliance burdens on patients or clinicians and ensures that data is regularly captured by canturio te at an unprecedented success rate.
Canary Quantiles Recovery Curves are now available to all surgeons implanting Persona IQ from the dashboard in their Canary Medical account, and will enhance the information displayed on their mymobility dashboard. Access to Canary Quantiles is being provided free for a limited time, as the features of the platform continue to expand. Future planned releases of Canary Quantiles will continue to streamline office workflow, allowing HCPs to receive alerts for patients out of defined recovery parameters. Ultimately, Canary plans for the information available in Canary Quantiles to be used for remote patient monitoring, resulting in earlier identification of potential complications and/or adjustment of recovery plans, and to fulfill the attestation requirements for remote patient monitoring CPT code billing.
Liane Teplitsky, President, Global Robotics and Technology & Data Solutions, Zimmer Biomet, said, “We continue to be excited about utilizing objective patient data to support and personalize care pre-, intra- and post-operatively with Persona IQ. We are working together with Canary to introduce recovery curves to customers in order to better understand how this novel information is being used and displayed prior to full integration with Zimmer Biomet’s mymobility® with Apple Watch platform, the primary user interface for Persona IQ data.”
