Portugal-based orthopedic technology company PeekMed has established a formal subsidiary in the U.S. in Warsaw, Ind., which has earned the nickname "orthopedic capital of the world."
The company has paired its U.S. expansion with the launch of its new web platform, which is undergoing beta testing. The platform will provide an artificial intelligence-based preoperative planning system for orthopedic surgeons, according to an Oct. 19 news release from PeekMed.
It is unknown how many new jobs the U.S. subsidiary will add, according to an Oct. 31 report from Inside Indiana Business. PeekMed's web application will launch in the U.S. upon receiving FDA clearance, according to the release.
"The establishment of PeekMed in the U.S. signifies a pivotal moment in our journey," João Pedro Ribeiro, co-founder and CEO of PeekMed, said in the release. "We are committed to leveraging our presence in the U.S. to foster innovation, drive research and contribute to the advancement of orthopedics."
