In this episode of DOCSF 2025 Previews, we catch up with Fabrizio Billi, PhD, Director of Orthopaedic Research at UCLA and the driving force behind the DOCSF Science sessions at DOCSF. Known for translating complex research into conversations that matter, Fabrizio gives us a preview of this year’s elevated “journal club”  with a sharp focus on physical AI.

He explores cutting-edge advances in computer vision, wearables, digital twins, and AI-assisted surgery with haptic feedback, technologies that are quickly moving from the lab to the clinic. Fabrizio also reflects on the evolving journey of digital adoption in orthopedics and what it takes to keep innovation real, impactful, and grounded in patient outcomes.

If you're looking for a thoughtful, future-forward take on the science behind the tech, this episode is for you.
