NanoHive Medical and Canary Medical Announce Strategic Partnership to Develop and Commercialize Smart Spinal Cages

Published

on

Collaboration brings together Canary’s proven active implant technology and NanoHive’s advanced spinal implant design to unlock next-generation data-driven spinal care Global spinal fusion market estimated at ~$6-9 billion today and projected to grow to ~$1316 billion over the next decade

VANCOUVER, BC and WOBURN, Mass., April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Canary Medical, a medical technology company pioneering active implantable platforms and AI-driven analytics, and NanoHive Medical, a leading innovative 3D printed spinal implant technology company, today announced an exclusive partnership to jointly develop next-generation smart spinal cages that integrate Canary Medical’s proprietary implantable sensing technology with NanoHive’s proprietary Hive™ Soft Titanium® spinal implant design capabilities.

The partnership unites two organizations focused on advancing spine care through intelligent implant technology. By integrating smart sensing capabilities into spinal interbody fusion cages, the companies aim to deliver objective, actionable data that enhances visibility into patient recovery, biomechanics, and fusion progression. This approach is designed to support more informed clinical decision-making and strengthen outcomes across the continuum of care.

Spinal fusion outcomes remain variable, with published data suggesting that nearly 50 percent of patients report some degree of dissatisfaction following their procedure, driven by persistent pain, functional limitations, and uncertainty around fusion progression. Today, recovery is assessed primarily through periodic imaging and patient-reported symptoms, offering only episodic snapshots rather than continuous insight. Smart spinal cages offer a new paradigm by embedding sensing technology directly into the implant to generate objective, longitudinal data on fusion progression, segment mobility, and patient activity, thereby enabling earlier identification of recovery deviations, more personalized rehabilitation, and data-informed intervention. Building on Canary Medical’s proven FDA-cleared smart knee platform, the partnership with NanoHive extends validated active implant architecture into spine to address a  large market with significant unmet need.     

The global spinal fusion market, driven primarily by lumbar procedures, is estimated at $6–$9 billion today and projected to exceed $13–$16 billion over the next decade, supported by an aging population and rising rates of degenerative spine disease. With more than one million procedures performed globally each year, the companies believe data-enabled spinal cages can establish a differentiated, premium segment within a large and established implant market, aligning with the healthcare system’s increasing emphasis on measurable outcomes and valuebased care.

“Canary Medical was founded on the belief that medical devices should do more than provide structural support, they should be interconnected and collect real-time data from the patient,” said Dr. Bill Hunter, Founding Member, CEO & CMO of Canary Medical. “NanoHive has developed an impressive portfolio of innovative spinal implants that are a perfect fit for our technology, with the design allowing space for our smart implant while maintaining the porous structure and ideal modulus that promotes bone growth and stability. By combining our proven smart implant platform with NanoHive’s design expertise, we have a unique opportunity to redefine what spinal implants can deliver for surgeons and patients.”

NanoHive Medical has built its reputation on advanced engineering, porous structures, and implant designs that support bone integration and stability. Through this collaboration, the company will accelerate its smart technology development efforts by integrating Canary Medical’s smart technology into its spinal cage platforms, creating a differentiated category of implants that support both mechanical and clinical performance.

“NanoHive’s mission is to leverage the success of our Soft Titanium platform technology to become a leader in spinal fusion personalization,” said Patrick O’Donnell, President & CEO of NanoHive Medical. “Canary Medical’s leadership in implantable sensing technology makes them the ideal partner as we move into the era of intelligent spine implants. This collaboration is an important milestone in delivering patients, surgeons and other spinal fusion stakeholders a tool that generates meaningful – ultimately predictable – clinical data to guide better outcomes. In addition, the partnership allows us to substantially reduce development and regulatory risks and costs.”  

Joint development efforts will begin immediately, focusing on design integration, engineering validation, and defining key clinical applications. Additional updates regarding development milestones and future clinical plans will be announced as progress continues.

LITO Announces New Collaboration Bringing Exclusive Contemporary Artist Editions to Sotheby’s Online Marketplace

Published

By

The initiative sees artists create new works designed from the outset for high-quality, limited editions.

NEW YORK, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LITO, a pioneering printmaking company redefining how art is created and collected, is pleased to announce a new collaboration that brings exclusive, museum-quality contemporary art editions to Sotheby’s online marketplace. The collaboration introduces a curated program of LITO Editions by leading international artists, offering collectors a new way to acquire highly refined, limited-edition works conceived in direct collaboration with the artists themselves.

LITO Editions are authentic works of art conceived in direct collaboration with artists, who imagine original work specifically for the format. The pieces are then developed into limited editions at LITO’s Technology Lab, an in-house research and production facility where engineers, technicians, and print specialists have developed the company’s patented Hi-Rnd© process. The lab brings together precision engineering and artistic collaboration to produce works that capture texture, color, relief, and brushstroke detail at multiple scales. Produced in limited runs, the editions are each hand-signed and numbered by the artist.

The initiative begins with an exclusive series of LITO Editions by acclaimed American portrait artist Kehinde Wiley. The series is based on his 2008 painting Triple Portrait of Charles II. Drawing on the historical tradition of multi-view portraiture, these works explore identity as layered and constructed rather than singular. Each piece is produced as a high-resolution print on Aludibond, set within an aluminum frame. The compositions feature engraved floral elements against mirrored backgrounds, available in Gold, Dark Mirror, and Mirror finishes, with select works also offered in a blue variant. Available for immediate purchase on Sotheby’s online marketplace, the editions are priced between $8,000 and $15,000, expanding access to Wiley’s work while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship.

Wiley’s editions are currently on view at Sotheby’s galleries in the Breuer Building in New York through April 24, offering collectors and the public an opportunity to experience the artist’s work and LITO’s high-resolution editions firsthand. The presentation highlights the depth, texture, and dimensionality that define LITO’s approach and underscores the collaboration’s emphasis on in-person engagement.

“The marriage of art and science is one that’s been known and storied. There was, prior to the camera, an assumption that art was the ultimate authority of truth in history. Now with new technology, art is freed to take on new responsibilities, and to be able to tell other types of stories,” said Wiley. “Working with Sotheby’s, LITO, and LITO’s technology has also allowed me to go back into my archive and rethink paintings that had been done years ago and these editions are part of a grand tradition of artists playing with the leading edge of technology.”

“As the art market continues to evolve, the collaboration signals a broader shift toward new formats and technologies that expand how art is created, distributed, and collected, without compromising on artistic intent or quality,” said John Dodelande, CEO of LITO. “By creating a new asset class within the art market, our technology will allow a new generation of collectors to experience and immerse themselves in the art world in a way that limited supply may have otherwise precluded them from.”

“Beginning a collection with editions offers an exciting and accessible entry point into contemporary art,” said Cynthia Houlton, Sotheby’s Senior Vice President and Global Head of Demand Generation & Marketplace. “Through our collaboration with LITO, collectors can acquire high‑quality works directly from the artist, reinforcing both authenticity and a meaningful connection to the creative process. Exclusive to Sotheby’s, these editions carry a compelling sense of rarity while remaining approachable. By presenting them on our Marketplace, we aim to welcome new audiences and invite discovery of exceptional art in a way that feels both inspiring and inclusive.”

New releases and exhibitions will follow throughout 2026, with monthly drops planned alongside presentations in New York, Los Angeles and London, including a Sotheby’s showcase in London from April 29 to May 17 and in Beverly Hills from May 18 to May 31.

Founded in 2022 and based in Bregenz, Austria, LITO already operates showrooms in Paris, London, and Bregenz, reflecting its growing international footprint. The company has collaborated with a wide range of internationally recognized contemporary artists, including Amoako BoafoDaniel ArshamCamille Henrot, Jia Aili, and Peter Halley, among others, advancing a model that creates new pathways for artists while extending the reach and accessibility of their work.
