In addition to other activities within Medtech Week the Strategic Innovation Programme Medtech4Health in Sweden announces the three finalists in the appreciated competition Medtech4Health Innovation Award. And of course, the winner among those will be highlighted. The contributions are presented in three digital small seminars. Second out is the other one of the contributors sharing second place:
The clinicians Per Wretenberg and Simon Tholén, together with researchers Henrik Olivecrona and Lars Weidenhielm, have developed a method that computer tomography to determine whether hip joint prostheses have come loose. The method called IMA (Implant Movement Analysis) has then been commercialized in cooperation with a medtech company (Sectra). This new technique offers more reliable diagnosis and reduces the use of surgery.
