DeSSOS

ESI Group partners the DeSSOS European project.

The DeSSOS project aims to develop and bring closer to market a predictive technology that integrates knowledge and software tools to provide surgeons involved with joint replacement procedures with the ability to pre-, and intra-operatively assess the optimal prosthetic joint implantation configuration and position in order to maximise the effectiveness of the procedure, which will reduce surgeon variability thereby improving functional performance.

Through the integration of different types of biomedical information using ICT methods at the tissue, organ and individual levels, an increase in functional performance will be effected and will have the concomitant effect of significantly increasing the life of an implant and reducing the probability a patient will have to undergo revision surgery.

The DeSSOS technology will facilitate modelling of the results of years of repetitive forces on a prosthetic in a certain implanted orientation. Simulation capabilities will enable a surgeon to intraoperatively personalize the implant position in order to maximize implant life-span and enable surgeons to maximize the effectiveness of their training.
