“Persona IQ’s technology records and wirelessly transmits a wide range of data from the knee implant right to the patient’s personal and secure base station at home,” continues Dr. Niesen. “The data is then securely delivered to a HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based platform and is accessed by me, my orthopedic team, our orthopedic nurse navigator, and my patient. Persona IQ then works together with mymobility, which is a care management platform that tracks pre and post-surgery mobility metrics.”
Says Thomas, when interviewed six weeks post-surgery, “The technology is great. The recommended exercises come right to my cell phone, which enhances the physical therapy that I do at home. The app tells me what to do, and it is very easy to follow. My knee is better than it was, and I will keep doing the work. That’s what is important.”
