July 16, 2024– Jackson Hospital announces a new service by Chelsey Durgin, MD. Dr. Durgin is a fellowship trained knee and hip replacement specialist. He led Jackson Hospital’s OR team of specially trained staff, performing a knee replacement procedure using the First Smart Knee Implant, Persona IQ, in our area.

The data is then securely delivered to a HIPAA compliant cloud-based platform and can be accessed by the patient and their surgeon. Persona IQ will work together with mymobility®, a remote care management platform that tracks pre- and post-operative mobility metrics. Currently, there are over 5000 Persona IQ devices that have been implanted nationwide.
