About

Dhara Intwala is a health economics and outcomes researcher specializing in the rapidly evolving field of robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery, with a particular focus on total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Her work sits at the critical intersection of clinical innovation and economic evidence, addressing a significant gap in the literature by rigorously evaluating not only the surgical precision of robotic systems but also their real-world economic and healthcare resource utilization implications. Intwala's most cited contribution — a 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis with 21 citations — established a foundational evidence base comparing economic and healthcare resource outcomes between robotic and manual TKA. Building on this, her 2024 studies examined the DePuy Synthes VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution specifically, generating early clinical and economic outcome data and benchmarking the platform against competing robotic systems, collectively accumulating over 20 additional citations within a year of publication. Her research is particularly valuable for healthcare decision-makers, hospital administrators, and surgeons navigating the cost-benefit tradeoffs of adopting emerging robotic technologies. Through rigorous comparative analyses, Intwala is helping shape evidence-driven adoption of precision surgical tools in orthopedics.
