Episurf Medical releases new CE-marked joint visualisation tool based on AI
Episurf Medical (NASDAQ: EPIS B) today announces that the company has CE-marked a new knee joint visualisation tool, which will be released to the European market following a controlled launch process. The tool, named Epioscopy®, is a web-based application based on artificial intelligence (AI), providing an overview of a knee joint’s clinical condition. Epioscopy® is intended to assist healthcare professionals in their planning of optimal treatments for patients’ knees by interactive 3D visualisation of structures and possible structural deviations.
“Clever tuning of medical imaging sequences in combination with automation processes based on artificial intelligence has resulted in stunning anatomical and pathological visualisation. There are no limits within this field and Episurf is definitely a player here” says Dr Adam Mitchell, Consultant Radiologist and member of Episurf Medical’s Clinical Advisory Board.
“This is a significant event for us. Epioscopy® reflects many of the most evident trends in orthopaedics, including computer assisted surgical pre-planning, individualised solutions and minimally invasive approaches. Hence, it is an important product in our positioning for the future. In addition, it brings operational gains as well, as continued development of our technology platform is crucial for us in our work towards securing long-term profitability. This simply means that through Epioscopy®, we can serve our customers in a more efficient and faster way, thereby decreasing costs for everyone” comments Pål Ryfors, CEO, Episurf Medical.
