Couchbase announced that Arthrex selected Couchbase on Amazon Web Services to improve patient outcomes. Embedded in the Arthrex Synergy product family, Couchbase is used in customer hospitals and operating rooms to manage the capture, sync and storage of patient data, surgical data and media metadata, including captured images and videos from Arthrex devices. Arthrex is a global leader in orthopedics providing interconnected surgical devices for hospital operating rooms, such as endoscopic cameras, pumps, ablation devices and insufflators–devices that surgeons use for bone and ligament surgery and reconstruction. The devices run a Linux-based application with Couchbase Lite embedded to store relevant data, allowing them to run 100% of the time regardless of internet connectivity and speed. This reduces latency and downtime for critical surgical instruments. Once data is in a centralized location in the hospital, it powers Arthrex’s suite of applications that connect to surgical devices and other medical systems, including hospital electronic health record systems.
