Healing in Motion: A Personalized Recovery Journey
How one patient turned zero quality of life into a comeback story with the help of Zimmer Biomet’s Persona IQ®
Rachel Ramos doesn’t slow down easily.
As a senior investment manager, mom, wife and dog lover, her days are packed with the three Ms — movement, momentum and meaning. But when chronic knee pain began to steal everyday moments — hiking, yoga and even walking her beloved dogs — Rachel knew something had to change.
Her doctor asked her one simply question: “What’s your quality of life?”
Her answer? Zero.
That moment marked a turning point. Rachel chose not just a knee replacement, but a smart solution: Persona IQ®, the world’s first smart knee implant that captures patient-specific gait and range of motion metrics. With data delivered directly to her and her care team, Rachel gained not only mobility — she gained recovery insights and a clear view of her surgical journey from start to finish.
Today, with a new lease on life, she’s back to doing what she loves: hiking trails, flowing through yoga poses and chasing after whatever comes next. Her recovery story is one of many that demonstrate technology’s impact in personalized care. True recovery is about more than just returning to movement – it’s about returning to your quality of life.
