Implant With Sensor Redundancy

1 . A joint implant comprising:

a first implant for coupling to a first bone of a joint; and

a second implant for coupling to a second bone of the joint adjacent the first implant, the second implant including:

a plurality of sensors configured to measure data; and

a processor operatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and adapted to receive the data from the sensors,

wherein the processor is adapted to communicate with a neural network and a channel detector configured to exclude a first portion of the data received from the processor and output a second portion of the data.

2 . The joint implant of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors are Hall sensor assemblies.

3 . The joint implant of claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of the Hall sensor assemblies are configured to measure positioning and movement data of the joint implant.

4 . The joint implant of claim 3 , wherein each of the plurality of the Hall sensor assemblies are configured to measure a coordinate in an X-direction, a coordinate in a Y-direction, and a coordinate in a Z-direction.

5 . The joint implant of claim 1 , wherein the first portion of the data is inaccurate data and the second portion of the data is accurate data.

6 . The joint implant of claim 1 , wherein the channel detector is configured to arrange data from each of the plurality of sensors into a corresponding channel.

7 . The joint implant of claim 6 , wherein the channel detector is configured to select channels based on a presence of a data tag with each channel.

8 . The joint implant of claim 7 , wherein the channel detector is configured to automatically omit a channel including the data tag.

9 . The joint implant of claim 6 , wherein the channel detector is configured to automatically omit a channel including improper data.

10 . The joint implant of claim 9 , wherein the channel detector is configured to output all channels excluding the channel including improper data to be viewed by a user.

11 . The joint implant of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to communicate with an external source including the channel detector.

12 . The joint implant of claim 11 , wherein the external source is adapted to communicate with the neural network.

13 . The joint implant of claim 1 , wherein the channel detector is disposed within the joint implant and operatively coupled to the processor.

14 . The joint implant of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors are automatically activated according to a timed schedule.

15 . The joint implant of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors are activated when brought into proximity with an external source.

16 . The joint implant of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors are manually activated by a user.

17 . A system for tracking a joint implant comprising:

a joint implant including:

a first implant for coupling to a first bone of a joint;

a second implant for coupling to a second bone of the joint, the second implant including:

a plurality of sensors configured to measure data;

a processor operatively coupled to the plurality of sensors and adapted to arrange the data into channels; and

a channel detector operatively coupled to the processor to detect the channels containing the data and select the channels containing the data to output to a user;

wherein the channel detector is configured to exclude a first channel from selection and output a second channel to the user.

18 . The system of claim 17 , further comprising an external source operatively coupled to the processor of the joint implant, wherein the external source is connected to a neural network adapted to receive the data from the processor.

19 . The system of claim 18 , wherein the external source includes the channel detector disposed therein.

20 . The system of claim 19 , wherein the second implant includes an antenna configured to operatively couple the processor to the external source.
