Smith+Nephew Launches Data Analytics Platform, RI.INSIGHTS

Smith+Nephew introduced RI.INSIGHTS, reported to be the first platform designed to allow orthopedic surgeons to benchmark robotics surgical experiences with other users to optimize surgical planning and improve patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

RI.INSIGHTS is in limited launch, with a full commercial release to come in 2021.

RI.INSIGHTS collects intra- and post-op data during robotics-assisted procedures and presents this data alongside post-op patient outcomes, allowing surgeons to gain insights into their robotics-assisted surgical procedures.

RI.INSIGHTS joins Smith+Nephew’s Real Intelligence portfolio of products, which includes the CORI™ Surgical System introduced earlier this year.

Surgeon commentary indicates that the RI.INSIGHTS platform is sophisticated enough to one day identify, qualify and even guide future surgeons’ decisions.

“The launch of RI.INSIGHTS further strengthens Smith+Nephew’s Real Intelligence platform and underscores our advancement into digital health,” said Skip Kiil, President of Global Orthopaedics for Smith+Nephew. “We are excited for surgeons to start using the insights provided by strong clinical data collected by the platform to drive improved patient outcomes.”
