Reedsburg Area Medical Centers orthopedic surgeon Dr. Matt Niesen was the – first in the state to offer and implant Persona IQ, the world’s first and only smart knee implant approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for total knee replacement surgery. Thomas Priester of Randolph, is the first patient in the state to receive this cutting edge technology when he had his smart knee replacement surgery on Nov. 7, 2023, at RAMC.
Persona IQ, placed with the personalized knee implant, has sensor technology which measures range of motion, step count, walking speed and more. “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,” said Niesen. “The data is then securely delivered to a HIPAA compliant, cloud-based platform and is accessed by me, my orthopedic team, including 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.”
