Real Intelligence

Real Intelligence

Smith+Nephew thinks, innovates and re-imagines surgery using Real Intelligence (RI).
To improve care across the continuum, our strategic approach seamlessly combines the strength of human insight and expertise with digital technologies and a health innovations portfolio.

Our intelligent, digital ecosystem optimizes investments in implants, robotics, navigation, data solutions and care management, while also maximizing technological breakthroughs.

The purpose of Real Intelligence is to:

Provide surgeons and patients with a personalized experience
Increase the scope of surgical intervention
Get beyond constraints of traditional tools & methods
Link a number of digital tools and coordinate disparate data
Raise the bar for treatment and enhance surgeon perception, for a fluid decision-making process, across the care continuum

CORI Surgical System

Applications for RI. KNEE ROBOTICS

A surgical workflow is provided by the RI. KNEE Robotics program, which is intended to increase productivity and usability, while further reducing the learning curve.

The surgeon is in charge while using RI. KNEE NAVIGATION to evaluate each patient’s disease state and forecast the stability of the knee, across the whole range of motion. With a simpler, touch-free interface, pin-less options and straightforward CLEARLENS arrays, navigating becomes even better. To choose the right course of treatment for the patient, describe the knee disease state. Determine knee stability based on joint mobility, cutting block position and implant geometry. In order to manage the surgical outcome, check the resections, alignment and knee balance.

When compared to traditional methods, navigation offers

Improved alignment and decreased outliers
20% less revisions per year
Better results as reported by patients

Improved workflow offers

Fewer steps for registration
With automatic landmark capture, the number of data points needed to be collected, is reduced by 72%.
40% fewer process steps, better usability, and quicker image-free smart mapping
A 2.5 times greater area for collecting data points, with quicker surface model creation
One-stage planning that is patient-specific

Quick smart mapping without images

Automated knee model rotation, does not require further screen manipulation
Software flags, important areas for collections and alerts, when collections are incomplete

CORI Surgical System

Applications for RI. HIP ROBOTICS

RI.HIP NAVIGATION is a Smith+Nephew patented technology, that is a component of Real Intelligence, a digital ecosystem that combines robots, software and procedure data, to improve outcomes and establish a seamless connection along the continuum of care.

Is a novel application, that aims to increase accuracy and repeatability in supine and lateral approaches, by providing patient-specific component alignment.

It is important for surgeons to consider, when evaluating specific THA cases.
