Besier and Zhang drew on their research at the 抖阴短视频Bioengineering Institute to create a platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and 3D modelling to help surgeons select the right replacement joint and plan where to place it for each individual patient. To commercialise the tool, they spun out a company, Formus Labs, in 2016.

Formus鈥檚 software is the world鈥檚 first automated 3D planner for joint replacement surgeries. It combines medical imaging data with biomechanical simulation to create a 3D model of a patient鈥檚 joint, then selects and places implants that restore the native biomechanics. Surgeons can interact with the 3D model to adjust the plan according to their expertise and preferences. It also speeds up surgery planning from weeks to hours.

鈥淥ur ageing and increasingly overweight population is leading to an epidemic of joint disease,鈥� says Besier. 鈥淥ur software improves patient outcomes by selecting implants that best match the anatomy and biomechanics of an individual from the get-go.鈥�

鈥淥ur goal is to make orthopaedic surgery as simple as it can be by arming surgeons with the latest cutting-edge technology so every joint replacement has a Formus plan that reduces the need for revisions, instils confidence, and facilitates better outcomes for patients, at a lower cost,鈥� says Zhang.

鈥淭he Formus platform helps showcase all available options, assisting with decision-making on the best possible reconstruction for the patient,鈥� says Dr David Liu, an Australian consultant orthopaedic surgeon, in a .
