INESC Porto revolutionises prevention for hip prosthesis surgery
INESC Porto is currently developing a pioneer project that consists of applying Bragg sensors to hip prosthesis. These sensors have sensing capabilities that are useful to detect the frequent detachment and the areas where this phenomenon usually occurs throughout time. Using a wireless communication system, this innovative application will enable the definition of clinical correction and prevention methodologies, thus avoiding unnecessary surgery. Currently, they are working on an intelligent prosthesis and the next step is to test this new method on sheep.
