DOCSF 2025: MedTech We Love This featured session from DOCSF 2025 presents MedTech We Love, a look at cutting-edge surgical technologies that are reshaping orthopedic care. Moderated by Dr. Michael Havig (HealthMe), the conversation spotlights four standout companies bringing innovation from the lab to the operating room. Richard Bolander, PhD (TracPatch Health) shares how wearable sensors are enabling continuous, passive remote monitoring to track recovery and guide interventions, especially for patients with low mobility or challenging social determinants. Their data-driven platform helps clinicians identify at-risk patients and supports provider gain-sharing models. Gabriel Jones (Proprio) introduces a surgical intelligence platform that uses light-field technology and AI to provide real-time, 3D, radiation-free imaging in the operating room. He calls for unified, data rich systems that empower surgeons to adapt mid-procedure and deliver better clinical and economic outcomes. Doug Fairbanks (Visie) showcases a 3D spatial computing
