Digital Orthopaedics Conference (DOCSF)

Digital Orthopaedics Conference (DOCSF)

The Digital Orthopaedics Conference San Francisco (DOCSF) was created to bridge the worlds of digital health and clinical orthopaedics and thereby catalyze the adoption of technology in musculoskeletal care. This podcast series features key speakers and highlights from the live event. Why orthopaedics? We believe that embedding digital technologies in a narrow integrated vertical is more likely to affect change than targeting one-fifth of the U.S. economy. We also believe that if a conference is to move the ball forward, it needs to target leaders who are positioned to drive change. These leaders want a conference that is practical, identifies solutions to real problems, and that provides perspective from people outside their normal circle. To this end, we invite Health Care, Industry, Finance, Entrepreneurs and Payers to participate. The DOCSF program design uses many educational formats including ‘case studies’ to illustrate success and a broad panel of experts to ask tough questions. And because change does not happen in a vacuum, we include leadership, policy and design segments in the program. Find out more, and register for our next conference, by visiting docsf.health.

    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 platform that eliminates the need for pins and arrays in surgical navigation. With ultra-precise, high-speed tracking, their system enables real-time registration and robotic guidance, making surgery safer, faster, and less invasive.Stuart Simpson (THINK Surgical) presents a compact, wireless robotic system that integrates seamlessly into the surgical workflow. With an implant-agnostic model and decision-tree AI, their robot delivers precision without complexity, offering hospitals and ASCs a more affordable and flexible alternative to legacy platforms. Together, these companies represent a future where orthopedic surgery is more intelligent, adaptive, and accessible.
