DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Higgs Boson Health today announced it has been acquired by Globus Medical, Inc. (NYSE: GMED), a leading musculoskeletal solutions company. The Higgs Boson Health team joins Globus Medical to extend surgical intelligence beyond the operating room and across the full care pathway.
Founded in 2017 and incubated at Duke University, Higgs Boson Health built a digital platform that guides patients through complex surgical journeys and recovery while giving care teams real-time visibility between visits. Today, the platform supports patients, caregivers, and clinicians at scale, turning patient-reported insights into more informed and responsive care.
"We built Higgs Boson Health on the belief that what happens before and after surgery matters as much as what happens in the operating room," said Rajeev Dharmapurikar, CEO and Co-Founder of Higgs Boson Health. "Joining Globus Medical lets us close that loop at a scale we could not reach alone, turning every recovery into insight that makes the next surgery better."
"As a neurosurgeon, I see every day how much of a patient's outcome is decided outside the operating room," said Nandan Lad, MD, PhD, Co-Founder of Higgs Boson Health and Professor of Neurosurgery at Duke University. "With Globus Medical, we can put that intelligence in the hands of surgical teams across the entire medical, interventional and surgical care pathway."
"From the beginning, our goal was to elevate the patient's voice in their surgical care," said Ziad Gellad, MD, MPH, Co-Founder of Higgs Boson Health and Professor of Medicine at Duke University. "Every record a patient shares is a chance to catch a problem earlier and guide a recovery better. Globus Medical shares that commitment to measuring what matters and acting on it."
Higgs Boson Health's technology and team will become part of Globus Medical's surgical intelligence ecosystem, connecting patient engagement, outcomes data, and analytics across the care journey.
