2022: Software Release
On July 14, 2022, Medtronic released a new version of UNiD's Spine Analyzer software, which developers say not only helps surgeons draw up an action plan for complex spinal surgeries, such as correcting deformities and degeneration of the spine, but also predicts the patient's response to surgery in the months that follow.
The UNiD Spine Analyzer AI platform relies on a database of more than 10,000 surgical cases, the number of which is constantly growing as the platform is used in new procedures. The system simulates several approaches to the procedure, mapping the patient's potential response to each. Once the surgeon has chosen the approach, the software (software) can develop special rods for the patient to be implanted during surgery. After the AI procedure, the platforms collect and store results to use in presentations, clinical research and future operations.
Among the platform's new updates, the addition of a machine learning algorithm designed specifically for degenerative spinal surgery. The AI was designed to guide surgeons in the process of planning operations on the lower lumbar spine, as well as predict the compensatory mechanisms that the body will produce in response to the procedure within six months of it. The company also updated existing prediction algorithms in UNiD's Spine Analyzer platform, which evaluate spinal responses from both adult and pediatric patients to spinal deformity treatments. The updated software has improved the UNiD Hub system, which collects all surgical results, patient outcomes, and other clinical data to help track patients throughout the treatment process.
According to Medtronic, surgical planning plays a particularly important role in such degenerative procedures, as up to 62% of patients may remain in the wrong position after a corrective procedure. This significantly increases the risk of further degeneration of disks around the site of the operation and may require subsequent operations to correct.
The UNiD Spine Analyzer platform can be used to plan the placement of LigaPass technology, which consists of sets of tape connectors passing through the spine to strengthen its connections with surgical implants.[1]
