La nueva e innovadora plataforma utiliza realidad virtual y auriculares Oculus Quest.
VANCOUVER, Columbia Británica, 26 de agosto de 2020 — Tecnología PrecisionOS, developers of the Surgical Mastery Platform™, announced today the details of a major breakthrough in basic and advanced fundamentals of arthroscopy training. The company has created the first-of-its-kind arthroscopy simulator available on a mobile, wireless device (Oculus Quest) which will also be used by CONMED International for surgeon education
“Our partnership with CONMED International allows us to immediately expand globally on training surgeons on this complex procedure. Given the challenges of arthroscopic training, the need for a surgeon focused and patient-centered portable solution was very clear.” said Dr. Danny Goel, Orthopedic Surgeon, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, PrecisionOS. “Our company is thrilled to be able to offer this cutting-edge innovation to train surgeons on hip arthroscopy,”
El método PrecisionOS de simulación de realidad virtual ha demostrado ser superior a los enfoques tradicionales en un estudio publicado en la prestigiosa revista ortopédica. The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (Revista de cirugía de huesos y articulaciones). Al comparar los métodos de entrenamiento tradicionales con la realidad virtual, esta investigación demostró cómo el software PrecisionOS permite a los cirujanos captar conceptos de procedimientos significativamente más rápido, al tiempo que mejora la habilidad técnica.
Ese tipo de aptitud es especialmente importante en la cirugía artroscópica. Por ejemplo, el entrenamiento en artroscopia de cadera tiene una curva de aprendizaje extensa. Los cirujanos pueden requerir hasta 100 casos antes de convertirse en expertos, lo que puede llevar años.
Como parte de su compromiso con la educación, PrecisonOS destacará un segundo ensayo controlado aleatorio y su novedoso módulo de artroscopia de cadera en la Reunión de cadera para jóvenes adultos con el presidente del curso, la Dra. Femi Ayeni, a finales de esta semana.
“It is exciting to see what’s possible with this new educational platform,” said Dr. Ayeni, a highly regarded hip arthroscopy surgeon who also serves as a Professor and Academic Chair of Orthopaedic Surgery at McMaster University. “So much time can be saved from the reduced need for directed intraoperative teaching of trainees or a reduction of costs associated with traditional cadaveric models. It’s going to be a substantial part of a surgeon’s skill development ‘tool kit’ in the future.”
Además de mejorar la eficiencia y las habilidades, PrecisionOS puede proporcionar a los sistemas hospitalarios y centros de aprendizaje un considerable alivio financiero. Debido a que los módulos se facilitan a través de una solución portátil, Oculus Quest, la capacitación se puede completar en cualquier lugar y en cualquier momento. Los centros también pueden ahorrar en costos de capital, ya que la capacitación en artroscopia siempre ha sido una tarea costosa y de alto riesgo.
“Technology is evolving rapidly right now, more than ever before in history, and the time to embrace change from the status quo is upon us,” said Richard McKillop, Vice President and General Manager, CONMED Latin America and Canada.
“This is a major milestone as the medical community continues to re-evaluate delivery of high quality surgical education. ” Dr. Goel said. “Adding arthroscopic surgery, allows us to offer the most comprehensive educational platform in virtual reality simulation in the market. This aligns with our mission of providing the gold standard in global orthopedic education without geographical limitations. This is not only important to us, but to our new partner, CONMED International.
