Bhubaneswar, (Odishafast): CARE Hospitals, Bhubaneswar organised “Gratitude & AI Launch,” a landmark event celebrating patients who have successfully undergone robotic knee replacement surgeries, while unveiling Artificial Intelligence–powered Knee and Hip Replacement, marking a significant advancement in precision joint care in Odisha.
Among the first AI-enabled joint replacement platforms to be introduced in the state, the technology reduces the need for patients in Odisha to travel outside the region for advanced orthopaedic procedures, bringing globally aligned innovation closer to home. Recovered patients were honoured during a Gratitude Ceremony, recognising their journey from chronic pain to improved mobility. One of the patients shared that the procedure helped them return to daily activities with greater confidence and minimal discomfort.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Sandeep Singh, Renowned Orthopaedic Surgeon, Head of the Department – Orthopedics, Chief Consultant – Robotic Surgery & Sports Injury at CARE Hospitals Bhubaneswar, said, “AI-guided joint replacement enables patient-specific preoperative planning, precise implant selection, reduced surgical time, minimal soft-tissue trauma, and faster recovery, leading to improved clinical outcomes and enhanced patient confidence.”
Dr Singh further explained that unlike conventional methods and several existing robotic systems, the AI platform supports knee, hip, shoulder, and unicondylar joint replacements, features an open and portable architecture, and significantly reduces dependence on high consumable costs, making advanced orthopaedic care more accessible and scalable across Odisha, especially as knee arthritis continues to rise among the ageing population.
Mr. Kislay Anand, Zonal Chief Operating Officer, CARE Hospitals, said, “At CARE Hospitals, we adopt innovations that make a real difference to patient care. The introduction of AI-powered joint replacement in Bhubaneswar reflects our commitment to making advanced, precision-driven orthopaedic care accessible to patients in Odisha, while continuing to uphold compassion, safety, and clinical excellence.”
The event also featured interactions with recovered patients and demonstrations of AIbased surgical planning, offering a glimpse into how technology is reshaping orthopaedic care delivery. With this launch, CARE Hospitals Bhubaneswar continues to set new benchmarks in futureready, technology-driven, and patient-centric orthopaedic care, aligning global medical innovation with local patient needs and strengthening the state’s healthcare ecosystem.
