Interview: "Joint implants are dumb" – how the future of orthopedics gets smart

Orthopedic implants are usually passive. What happens in the body after implantation can only be estimated. An immediate reaction to complications is not possible.

Article: MEDICA START-UP PARK - Rapid Response Revival
Without immediate cardiopulmonary resuscitation steps and an electric shock from a defibrillator, only two to five percent of those affected survive sudden cardiac arrest. Nearly half of all people who make it to the hospital alive die despite the best efforts of the rescuers. An Australian startup at MEDICA may now have the solution to save thousands of lives each year.
