    Abstract: A kinematics tracking system is described. The kinematics tracking system includes a first device configured to couple to a first segment of a musculoskeletal system and a second device configured to couple to a second segment of the musculoskeletal system. The kinematics tracking system further includes a computer configured to receive measurement data from the first device and the second device. The first device and the second device each have at least one inertial measurement unit (IMU) configured to measure orientation. The computer includes an application configured to support a registration process for the first and second devices. The application is configured to guide a user through at least one movement during the registration process.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a joint implant including a first implant coupled to a first bone of a joint, and a second implant coupled to a second bone of the joint and contacting the first implant. The second implant can include a plurality of sensors configured to measure data and a processor operatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and adapted to receive the data from the sensors. The first implant can be a femoral implant coupled to a femur. The second implant can be a patellar implant coupled to a patella. Sensor data from the patellar implant can indicate movement between the femoral implant and the patellar implant and identify patella condition such as a patellar rotation, patellar tilt and patellar tendonitis.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for providing secure authentication and connection between an implant and a remote monitoring platform for tracking implant performance. A joint implant according to the present disclosure can include a first implant coupled to a first bone of a joint, a second implant coupled to a second bone of the joint, a first communication module, and a memory to store authentication information. The first communication module can be configured to wirelessly transfer the authentication information to a communication module of an external device when the external device is placed adjacent the joint implant. The first communication module can be an NFC communication module configured to transfer the authentication information to the communication module of the external device via NFC.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are implants with sensors and methods for powering implants with sensors. A joint implant according to the present disclosure can include a first implant and a second implant in contact with the first implant. The first implant can be coupled to a first bone of a joint. The first implant can include an energy generator coupled to a transducer. The second implant can include at least one sensor, a battery coupled to the at least one sensor, and a receiver coupled to the battery. The receiver can be disposed within the second implant adjacent the transducer. Energy from the energy generator can be transmitted from the transducer of the first implant to the receiver of the second implant.
