Caira
Shortlist / Future Impact / Design / 2021
Caira is the first and only radar surgical navigation system, and is designing the future of navigation and robotics for joint replacement. Current tech is bulky, expensive, and overly complex due to a lack of attention to design detail. Caira aims to enhance surgical workflows and easily integrate into hospital and ambulatory settings. Patients deserve fewer incisions, improved implant positioning, shorter length of stay, less pain/opioid use, improved implant longevity, and reduced revision rates.
