Total knee replacement is evolving, and with it, so is patient care. Dr. Nathan Cafferky and his team at The Steadman Clinic are proud to offer Persona IQ, the world’s first and only smart knee implant to receive De Novo status from the FDA for total knee replacement surgery. This state-of-the-art technology allows Dr. Cafferky to monitor your recovery progress remotely, ensuring you stay connected to your healthcare team every step of the way. Here’s what you need to know about how Persona IQ can enhance your recovery experience.

How Persona IQ Works

Persona IQ is embedded with advanced sensor technology that tracks and transmits data from your knee implant to a personal base station in your home. The data collected is securely sent to a HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based platform, allowing both you and your healthcare team to monitor your progress. This cutting-edge device seamlessly integrates with mymobility®, an online patient engagement platform, so you can see precisely where you are in your recovery process, empowering you to stay engaged and informed.

The Persona IQ smart knee collects essential data such as:

• Range of motion in your knee

• Step count

• Stride length

• Walking distance

• Walking speed

It’s important to note that Persona IQ does not collect location data, maintaining your privacy while providing critical insights into your mobility.

Monitoring Recovery with Confidence

With Persona IQ, you’re never alone in your recovery journey. Dr. Cafferky and his team can access real-time data on your range of motion, step count, and other key metrics that indicate your progress. “The beauty of this technology is that it allows us to keep a close eye on recovery without requiring additional appointments,” says Dr. Cafferky. “Patients can feel confident knowing their healthcare team is monitoring their progress and can provide support whenever needed.”

From tracking how far you walk to measuring your stride length, the data collected by Persona IQ offers insights that were previously only available during in-office visits. Now, Dr. Cafferky and his team can make informed recommendations and adjustments based on your day-to-day recovery. This constant monitoring helps to identify any issues early, ensuring a smoother, safer journey to full mobility.

Personalized Insights Through mymobility®

Persona IQ pairs with the mymobility® platform, providing you with a personalized recovery experience. The mymobility® app gives patients access to their own recovery data, offering a clear picture of how they’re progressing. “Many of our patients appreciate having a tangible way to track their improvement,” says Dr. Cafferky. “It adds another level of motivation and helps them stay proactive about their rehabilitation.”

With mymobility®, you can view your progress at any time, making it easier to stay on track with your recovery goals. The platform’s user-friendly interface simplifies the experience, allowing you to take ownership of your recovery while keeping Dr. Cafferky and his team informed.

A Commitment to Privacy

Persona IQ is designed with privacy in mind. While the implant gathers a range of valuable data points, it does not track your location. The focus remains solely on your knee’s performance, ensuring you can feel comfortable knowing your personal space is respected.
