Scientific priorities

Six objectives guide the founding scientific conversation.

01Clinical–engineering interfaceTranslate indications, procedures, and failure mechanisms into design requirements.
02Validated engineeringAdvance mechanics, materials, imaging, simulations, and reliability methods.
03Responsible translationConnect verification, risk management, regulatory science, and clinical evidence.
04Critical research gapsExamine unresolved implant–bone, patient-specific, and durability questions.
05Multidisciplinary dialogueEngage clinical teams, researchers, industry, and emerging investigators.
06A scientific roadmapDefine priorities and discuss the proposed founding scientific white paper.
