La tecnología PrecisionOS se expande a EE. UU.

Al abrir una nueva oficina en Seattle, PrecisionOS amplía su alcance en el mercado de EE. UU.

PrecisionOS Technology anunció hoy que ha abierto una segunda oficina en Seattle, Washington, lo que le permite ampliar su alcance en el mercado estadounidense. La nueva oficina está ubicada en el edificio Holyoke en 107 Spring Street.

“Seattle is one of the leading tech hubs on the West Coast and seemed to be the natural fit for our company. We feel fortunate to be able to provide the same service to all our industry and institutional partners while existing locally in the USA,” said Dr. Danny Goel, Orthopedic Surgeon, Co-Founder and CEO of PrecisionOS.

PrecisionOS es una empresa de software que ofrece la plataforma de entrenamiento de realidad virtual de mayor fidelidad física y psicológica para cirujanos ortopédicos. Les permite practicar procedimientos quirúrgicos contextuales con inmersión incomparable, métricas y comentarios en tiempo real.

The field of orthopedics is considered one of the more cutting-edge in the medical profession. It involves both surgical and non-surgical techniques to treat injuries and diseases of the body’s musculoskeletal system. The traditional path and training model for mastering new orthopedic techniques and surgical procedures has not changed in centuries and is further challenged by conventional residency/surgical education models.

The company’s research suggests surgical residents today want to learn via digital technologies like virtual reality. Program directors and examining boards agree that residency programs in the U.S. and Canada are lagging behind in providing advanced and impactful educational modalities.

With its move to Seattle, PrecisionOS hopes to build relationships within the local community and tap into the city’s tech and sales hub, which houses many innovators in the immersive Virtual Reality realm.It also remains close to its headquarters in Vancouver, British Columbia.
