FollowKnee : Mixed Reality as a tool for knee surgery

FollowKnee is one of the ten University-Hospital Research projects selected at the end of 2017 by the French government, as part of the “Investissements d’Avenir” (Investments for the future) program. The purpose of this e-health project is to develop a connected knee prosthesis designed to improve the follow-up of patients. The FollowKnee project with a duration of 5 years provides concrete solutions at each stage of the process: improving the design, manufacturing, installation and the personalized follow-up of implanted prostheses.
