Intech announced its collaboration with SMADE, a partnership that seeks to address the tracking of orthopedic surgical instruments and trays while in the field.
By turning surgical instruments and trays into smart assets that collect and return key field data, the Intech x SMADE collaboration is designed to help Intech’s customers see in real-time where, when and how their devices are being used and moved. SMADE combines hardware (smart trackers) and software (a data analytics platform) to provide accurate field data and help orthopedic device companies and hospitals in their daily decision-making.
Further, the Intech x SMADE initiative is intended to support portfolio customization by developing specific instruments. Intech and SMADE teams will work with clients to outline strategy and address engineering challenges while choosing relevant solutions to collect and analyze data from the field.
“Thanks to SMADE smart tracking solutions embedded in Intech trays or instruments, we collect, analyze and deliver the most accurate field data to our customers, helping them to transcend their performance,” Laurent Pruvost, Intech’s President and CEO, “Agile and collaborative, SMADE inside process will give our customers the knowledge and technology they need to leverage the potential of their devices.”
