Sensors on surgeons helped J&J’s DePuy Synthes sell a new tool

Johnson & Johnson's DePuy Synthes used surface electromyography sensors placed on surgeons to quantify the clinical benefits of its Kincise Surgical Automated System for total hip arthroplasty. The sensor data, which measured surgeon muscle fatigue and workload, provided evidence supporting the product launch in 2020 and demonstrated measurable improvements over traditional manual techniques.
