moveUP.care, a Belgian and U.S.-based digital orthopedics company, has begun an agreement to acquire Deep Structure, a U.S.-based digital health company focused on artificial intelligence (AI)-driven orthopedic surgery planning and rehabilitation.

moveUP was founded in 2015 and specializes in personalized rehabilitation and remote patient monitoring. The company offers regulated, data-driven solutions that support patients and healthcare providers through the recovery process.

Deep Structure’s flagship AI Eunice creates digital phenotypes of patients to allow personalized care through simulated surgeries and remote monitoring. The tech lets surgeons make data-driven decisions tailored to each patient’s clinical situation.

The transaction will let moveUP integrate Deep Structure’s technology and team, with the aim of driving more efficiency in orthopedic practices across the U.S. moveUP’s customers will soon benefit from the technology in their daily workflows.

“Orthopedic surgery practice in the 21st century needs to embrace data, AI, and predictive analytics to achieve the necessary efficiencies to thrive in light of reimbursement and cost pressures,” said Ciaran McCourt, CEO of moveUP.care. “This merger will strengthen our own AI capabilities enormously and will speed up our US traction with a clear value proposition—we are excited to welcome Dr. Jared Weir and his team.”

“Our platform has been proven to benefit users to gain 20% additional time per week due to case management optimization. I am thrilled to join forces with moveUP to change the face of orthopedic care, improving patient outcomes while lessening the burden on surgeons,” added Dr. Weir, who is the founder of Deep Structure.
