Industry 5.0 technology capabilities in Trauma and Orthopaedics

Area of Science:

• Biomedical Engineering
• Robotics
• Artificial Intelligence

Background:

• Industry 5.0, or the fifth industrial revolution, merges human intelligence with cognitive computing for personalized product creation.
• It builds upon Industry 4.0 by focusing on the personalization of automation and efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

• To explore the evolution and impact of Industry 5.0 in trauma and orthopaedics.
• To highlight the synergy of human intelligence, robotics, and smart systems in personalized orthopedic patient care.

Main Methods:

• A comprehensive literature search was performed across Embase, PubMed, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate.
• Keywords "Industry 5.0" and "Orthopaedics" were used for a narrative review of literature published up to March 2022.

Main Results:

• Industry 5.0 significantly expands on Industry 4.0 technologies, driving innovations in computer technology and implant design.
• Increased collaboration among humans, robots, and smart systems has led to the development of patient-specific implants, instruments, and devices in orthopaedics.

Conclusions:

• Industry 5.0 facilitates personalized products for diagnosing, treating, and managing orthopedic conditions.
• It enables the engineering of patient-specific tools and implants, enhancing clinical outcomes and Patient Related Outcome Measures (PROMs).
