IF WE CAN PERSONALIZE MEDICAL TREATMENT, CAN WE IMPROVE PATIENT CARE?
It goes without saying that every human being is unique. So despite the fact we are the same species, every body will not react to medical treatment in the same way.
The good news: when engineering and medical teams work closely together and use cutting-edge technology, they can help advance the medical field by finding ways to personalize treatments and improve patient care.
Digital Orthopaedics is a startup focused on this very challenge. Their goal is to transform the planning and execution of orthopedic surgeries and treatment with innovative ideation, modeling and simulation. Specifically, they want to create personalized foot models for each patient starting with imaging and then use realistic simulation to determine the best possible treatment for that individual.
To help achieve their mission, Digital Orthopaedics applied to be part of the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab. Through this program, they have 
access to cloud-based software solutions to meet their needs such as knowledge bases for tracking and sharing ideas, connectors to other systems to support decision making and a 3D modeling and simulation platform to develop and test surgical plans and services.
Visit our 3DEXPERIENCE Lab portal to learn more details about what Digital Orthopaedics is doing with our 3DEXPERIENCE platform, and how being part of the Lab is giving them access to a network of assets.
