About ORAIA
ORAIA is an independent, not-for-profit, multidisciplinary society dedicated to the safe, effective, and ethical integration of artificial intelligence in orthopaedic surgery, trauma, sports injury management, and hospital workflow.
Our Mission
To lead the clinical translation of AI technologies into orthopaedic and related surgical practice so that advances are clinically relevant, evidence-based, safe, transparent, and accessible in both high-resource and low-resource settings. AI should complement human expertise.
We believe that AI should augment, not replace, the expertise and compassion of orthopaedic surgeons, creating a synergy that benefits both practitioners and patients worldwide.
