M&A: Globus Medical Acquires Duke Incubator Higgs Boson Health to Expand Surgical Intelligence. * Musculoskeletal technology leader Globus Medical, Inc. announced the acquisition of Higgs Boson Health, a digital healthcare experience company based in Durham, North Carolina, and incubated out of Duke University. * Integrates Higgs Boson’s software engineering and artificial intelligence research teams into Globus Medical to develop a seamless, connected digital care environment spanning the entire musculoskeletal patient journey. * The acquisition positions Higgs Boson’s technology within Globus Medical’s “surgical intelligence pillar,” establishing a closed-loop analytics and continuous-learning framework that links pre-operative planning, intraoperative execution, and longitudinal post-operative recovery. To bridge that gap and link operating room robotics with longitudinal patient outcomes, musculoskeletal technology manufacturer Globus Medical has acquired Higgs Boson Health, a digital health and patient experience company incubated out of Duke University. The software will serve as the core asset within Globus Medical’s surgical intelligence pillar, creating a closed-loop system that connects pre-operative planning, robotic surgical telemetry, and multi-year patient recovery data.
