Vancouver, Columbia Británica—April 26, 2022—PrecisionOS®, un proveedor líder de educación para cirujanos, anunció hoy una asociación estratégica con ISHA – The Hip Preservation Society, una sociedad internacional de primer nivel para la educación y la investigación en cirugía artroscópica de cadera, conservación de cadera y rehabilitación de cadera con más de 600 miembros internacionales de disciplinas quirúrgicas y de rehabilitación. La asociación ayudará a los cirujanos de todo el mundo a obtener acceso a la capacitación en cirugía de cadera de realidad virtual (VR), mejorando enormemente los resultados para los pacientes.
El compromiso que ha adquirido PrecisionOS para producir simulación quirúrgica práctica de alta calidad y fácilmente accesible utilizando VR ha resultado en un número cada vez mayor de asociaciones con sociedades profesionales líderes como ISHA, así como numerosas instituciones médicas y compañías de dispositivos médicos. A medida que la empresa continúa avanzando en la simulación de realidad virtual, las instituciones médicas están reconociendo el valor que la realidad virtual aporta a la educación quirúrgica, reduciendo enormemente los costos y acelerando el tiempo de capacitación para los residentes de cirugía, así como renovando las habilidades de los profesionales cuando se introducen nuevas técnicas y dispositivos quirúrgicos.
“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™, una evaluación personalizada y validada que ha demostrado en los estudios cómo se desempeñarán los alumnos durante los procedimientos quirúrgicos reales.
“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 21calle 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 exhibirá VR en ESSKA del 27 al 29 de abril de 2022 en París y con ISHA en su reunión científica anual del 13 al 15 de octubre de 2022 en Glasgow, Escocia.
