Used to be free…

Decent app, but way over priced. There is a free app, implant identifier, that does the same thing.

Another money grab

For a community built platform they are now pulling a vendormate and charging annual fees.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We completely empathize with you regarding credentialing services—such a racket with very limited value to those paying. Whatzit was free for over 8 years, and in November 2024 we introduced a subscription to support continued development. As the industry standard for spine revision planning, Whatzit requires investment in developers, design, data science, servers, compliance, and more. The subscription ensures we can keep delivering meaningful value to surgeons and reps. We hope you reconsider your rating.

Amazing

Very grateful for this app and the community of spine consultants that help support it.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words. We are grateful that you are a part of the community as well. 🙏🙏

So Incredibly Useful

I don’t tend to write reviews but this app is just that great. If you’re in a field where spine hardware identification is something you need, you’ve found the perfect app. I can’t stress enough how useful this app and it’s ai features and developers are.

Great App

Great App for identifying spinal hardware. I highly recommend.

Amazing App

As a Spine rep, our job on a daily basis is to provide the best service quality to the provider and to the patient. This app has been an absolute game changer with this cause. It is extremely helpful when we inevitably come across the revision. We are able to submit feedback, and come together as a community to help better our industry. I cannot rave more about this app, there are not enough hours in the day.

Game changer

WhatzIt has revolutionized revision spine surgery. As a spine rep and someone that is a user/contributor to this platform, I can confidently say this is the pinnacle of spine surgery implant identification as it uses a combination of AI and crowdsourcing to quickly ID the overwhelmingly majority of images that are submitted by its users. WhatzIt has got your back (pun intended)! Reps can now walk into surgery more confident and with the the necessary removal Instruments, making them look like revision rockstars!

Fantastic Resource

If you are a Medical Device Spine rep, this is the app to go to! Tremendous resource and use weekly for upcoming removals and revisions. Helps identify challenging systems that can make or break a case. Must have in your bag of tricks!

App is super helpful when needing to identify existing spinal hardware, it’s has helped me numerous times! They also have the option to pay a fee which will ensure you get a fast response to your questions. Great app!

Our industry would be lost without Whatzit!

I’ve been using this app for several years now, and its utility and value in the hardware identification space is unparalleled. It has help me replace time spent searching for identification of previous hardware and removal instruments needed with actual income producing activities!
Those of us who existed in this space previous to this app know the difference it makes.
Love it!

Spine hardware identification: spine rep/mid level/surgeons tool

This app is for anyone who needs to identify spine hardware for removals. Surgeons, mid levels, reps, etc. This is by far the best tool out in the market that uses sophisticated software to identify hardware that has been implanted at a prior date and needs to be revised, extended, or just take out.

As a rep, we use this tool as our go to tool to help us prepare for surgeries so that we have the right removal instrumentation. Gone are th days where there were only 3 companies. With so many companies, this is a much needed tool.

Every spine rep should utilize this tool.
