Founded by MIT engineers, orthopedic surgeons, and industry executives, Lifespans is a spin-off from Asia’s #1 center for orthopaedic surgery – Queen Mary Hospital at the University of Hong Kong. Lifespan’s mission is to create innovative bone implant technology solutions, especially those that improve the quality of life of elderly patients with osteoporosis.
Lifespans Alfonso bone simulator incorporates a patented, ground-breaking "particle-based" computer model of bone tissue and with findings published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research, it is the world’s first computer simulation system capable of simulating the cracking and crushing of realistic trabecular bone structures – a key missing feature in conventional simulation that has been sought after for decades.
