Vancouver, British Columbia—April 26, 2022—PrecisionOS®, ein führender Anbieter von Chirurgenausbildung, gab heute eine strategische Partnerschaft mit bekannt ISHA – The Hip Preservation Society, eine führende internationale Gesellschaft für Ausbildung und Forschung in der arthroskopischen Hüftchirurgie, Hüfterhaltung und Hüftrehabilitation mit über 600 internationalen Mitgliedern aus chirurgischen und Rehabilitationsdisziplinen. Die Partnerschaft wird Chirurgen auf der ganzen Welt dabei helfen, Zugang zu Hüftoperationsschulungen in Virtual Reality (VR) zu erhalten und so die Ergebnisse für Patienten erheblich zu verbessern.
Das Engagement von PrecisionOS für die Erstellung hochwertiger, leicht zugänglicher praktischer chirurgischer Simulationen mithilfe von VR hat zu einer zunehmenden Anzahl von Partnerschaften mit führenden Fachgesellschaften wie ISHA sowie zahlreichen medizinischen Einrichtungen und Unternehmen für medizinische Geräte geführt. Während das Unternehmen die VR-Simulation weiter vorantreibt, erkennen medizinische Einrichtungen den Wert, den VR für die chirurgische Ausbildung bietet, indem sie die Kosten erheblich senken und die Einarbeitungszeit für Assistenzärzte in der Chirurgie verkürzen sowie die Fertigkeiten der Ärzte auffrischen, wenn neue chirurgische Techniken und Geräte eingeführt werden.
“We are privileged to partner with ISHA,” says Danny Goel, M.D., surgeon and CEO of PrecisionOS. “With our immersive VR training modules for hip arthroscopy, ISHA will be able to provide advanced training and education for a broader global audience of surgeons who will see improved performance proficiency and reduced complications.”
PrecisionOS’ modules have been scientifically validated, peer reviewed and published in leading medical journals. In fact, published research studies highlight that learning efficiency with PrecisionOS’ training modules has been demonstrated to be as high as 570% while reducing critical errors by 90%. The modules also provide a Precision Score™, eine personalisierte und validierte Beurteilung, die in den Studien gezeigt hat, wie sich Auszubildende bei tatsächlichen chirurgischen Eingriffen verhalten werden.
“PrecisionOS offers the premier VR educational software, which dramatically impacts training and education,” says Tony Andrade, MB BS, FRCS and immediate past-president, ISHA. “We are excited to partner with such an industry leader in VR hip arthroscopy. Surgeons are increasingly accepting and using VR and the PrecisionOS platform offers a real-life, completely immersive experience that permits error in trial and provides real world interactivity. It also allows multiple surgeons, even in different geographic locations, to be trained at the same time.”
The PrecisionOS training modules encourage trial and error and permit individual decision making, allowing the user to try different approaches to the procedure. Rather than simply showing trainees how to do a procedure, and having them repeat it over and over, PrecisionOS modules encourage learners to first attempt the procedure on the basis of their classroom or practice experience – a critical differentiation from competitive VR solutions. The platform then provides technical and performance feedback until the procedure has been done correctly and the learner feels confident about performing the procedure on a live patient.
Current ISHA president, Professor Allston Stubbs, MD, MBA, commented, “The ultimate beneficiary of this 21st century VR technology is the hip preservation patient who will see lower surgical complications and superior surgical outcomes from surgeons experienced in VR training. ISHA is delighted to strategically align its educational mission with PrecisionOS to deliver innovation that promotes mentorship, constructive feedback, and real-time learning.”
PrecisionOS wird VR auf der ESSKA vom 27. bis 29. April 2022 in Paris und mit ISHA auf seinem jährlichen wissenschaftlichen Treffen vom 13. bis 15. Oktober 2022 in Glasgow, Schottland, vorstellen.
