A knee that reports back.

Persona IQ is a smart knee implant with a built-in sensor that shares objective activity data after surgery — so your recovery can be guided by real information, not just memory.

What makes it a “smart” knee

Persona IQ is a smart knee implant designed to collect objective movement information after your knee replacement. It looks and works like a standard implant, with the added ability to report on how your knee is doing over time.

It’s one more way Dr. Seem can keep your recovery personal — guided by real information between visits, not memory alone.

What Persona IQ measures

The implant gathers objective activity and walking-pattern information as you recover. That data may help show how your movement changes over time, adding another layer of insight between office visits — alongside your imaging, your examination, and your own experience.

How the data personalizes your recovery

The data never replaces how you feel, what you report, or a physical exam. It helps create a more complete picture of your recovery and supports more informed conversations about your progress.

When appropriate, Persona IQ may also help personalize your follow-up schedule and reduce unnecessary travel if you’re recovering well — while in-person care is always available whenever you need it.

Is a smart knee right for you?

A smart implant isn’t the right choice for everyone. Whether Persona IQ fits you depends on your knee, your goals, and whether the added information will meaningfully support your care. Dr. Seem will talk through the options and help you decide together.
