1. A method for intraoperative implant fit analysis and longevity prediction for a prosthetic implant to be integrated with physiological tissue of a patient, comprising:
during a surgical procedure, collecting data by one or more computing devices via a plurality of sensors situated in proximity to a tissue and an implant and a plurality of data sources, wherein the plurality of sensors are included within a surgical environment in which the surgical procedure is occurring;
modifying, during the surgical procedure and by the one or more computing devices, the collected data to remove data dimensions;
determining, during the surgical procedure and by the one or more computing devices, a tissue state, a tissue morphology, an implant state, and an implant morphology based on the modified collected data;
generating, during the surgical procedure and by the one or more computing devices, compatibility information that describes a simulated fit between the tissue and the implant based on the tissue state, the tissue morphology, the implant state, and the implant morphology;
processing, during the surgical procedure and by the one or more computing devices, the compatibility information into a form adapted for evaluation against a pre-determined comparator;
generating and displaying, during the surgical procedure and by the one or more computing devices and via a display device, a visualization that depicts the simulated fit, wherein the visualization is generated based on the data that is collected via the plurality of sensors;
generating and providing, by the one or more computing devices, a set of corrective actions for alteration of the tissue state and the tissue morphology for improved postoperative implant performance and longevity;
receiving, during the surgical procedure and by the one or more computing devices and via the plurality of sensors, additional data describing a physical fit between the tissue and the implant;
comparing, during the surgical procedure and by the one or more computing devices, the simulated fit depicted by the visualization with i) the physical fit and ii) the set of corrective actions;
in response to the comparing the simulated fit during the surgical procedure and by the one or more computing devices, modifying the set of corrective actions; and
configuring, during the surgical procedure and by the one or more computing devices, the display device to provide the modified set of corrective actions.
