SImOS
Smart Implants for Orthopedic Surgery
Prof. Dr. Peter Ryser EPFLon behalf of SImOS partners
Outline
General objectives and the concept of the project
Consortium and tasks International state of the art Architecture of the technology demonstrator Remote powering and data transmission Force and motion sensors Sensor electronics interface Knee simulator Next steps
General objectives
More than 1 Mio / year hip and knee prosthesis are implanted in EU and US

Introduction: on the concept of the
project: Provide in-vivo parameters for the clinicians and prosthesis designers
Estimate contact force Correct unbalanced wearing Provide adequate rehabilitation Model force distribution Design new generation of prosthesis
3D joint angles by fusing with skin mounted sensors Extract kinematics metrics relying on movement
limitation
Provide micro-motion of the prosthesis relative to the bone Estimate loosening using vibrating plate-form

2. Multi-bit SDM with DAC calibration
First technology demonstratorA first demonstrator has been developed for
validating the system.
Only signals from analog force sensors are acquired
