Demuestra que el futuro de la formación es la realidad virtual
PARIS – Oct. 13, 2021 – PrecisionOS se asociará con el Congreso Global de Columna Vertebral para ser coanfitrión del primer curso (s) de formación quirúrgica de realidad virtual (RV) sin cadáveres para procedimientos de columna. Programado para este año del 3 al 6 de noviembre en París, el Congreso atrae a más de 2.000 cirujanos de todo el mundo, lo que lo convierte en una de las reuniones de columna más completas.
La capacitación de realidad virtual, que incorpora auriculares Oculus Quest, cubrirá los procedimientos de la columna vertebral y permitirá a los participantes colaborar durante el curso, compartiendo sus pensamientos e ideas y viendo a otros probar los procedimientos de capacitación ofrecidos.
“The Global Spine Congress felt PrecisionOS’ demonstration would offer surgeons a unique opportunity to see how modern technology optimizes training for both practicing surgeons and students and provides a more thorough educational experience,” said Dr. Karsten Wiechert, Co-Chair of the precourse at Global Spine Congress. “We decided to partner with PrecisionOS, a company that is pioneering global VR training, to make this highly innovative session available at our annual meeting. Interventional techniques on the lumbar spine present a specific educational challenge since usually the result of the needle placement can only be seen by conventional imaging. PrecisonOS overcomes this, adding an entirely new level of three- dimensional feedback and therefore improves the learning experience tremendously.”
PrecisionOS has been published by several peer reviewed papers on the efficacy of their virtual reality software. The company’s technology was also scientifically validated in a recent randomized controlled trial published in the Revista de cirugía de huesos y articulaciones Am. El estudio demostró cómo PrecisionOS ayuda a los residentes de cirugía senior a aprender las habilidades quirúrgicas 570% más rápido que los enfoques tradicionales de entrenamiento que mejoraron sus habilidades con 150%.
“Our VR training software permits deliberate and purposeful practice allowing practitioners to learn and understand when they make mistakes that might arise during real surgery,” explains Danny Goel, M.D., surgeon and CEO, PrecisionOS. “Surgeons at the Congress will be able to train on spinal procedures using our advanced simulation platform instead of cadavers, which are becoming harder to source and obtain.”
PrecisionOS continues to push the boundaries by supplying immersive virtual reality training modules for orthopedic surgeons for multiple medical device companies, professional societies and major medical institutions worldwide. The company’s modules permit individual decision making, which allows the surgeon to try different approaches to the procedure. It also gives surgeons performance and technical feedback until they are totally comfortable performing the procedure instead of just having them do rote practice, a critical differentiation from competitive solutions.
Sobre PrecisionOS
PrecisionOS was founded in partnership with clinical orthopedic surgeon educators and an expert group of XR (virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality) senior software developers to create training for orthopedic surgeons. The company’s immersive simulations are scientifically validated, peer-reviewed and published in leading medical research journals. Participants engage in a realistic operating environment, alone or in collaboration with other trainees anywhere in the world, test their knowledge and desire to try alternate approaches, receive instructive feedback and repeat procedures until achieving proficiency.
PrecisionOS tiene su sede en Vancouver, BC, con afiliaciones colaborativas con más de 40 instituciones médicas importantes en los EE. UU. Y Canadá. Su software se ha utilizado en más de 35 países y 500 ciudades en todo el mundo.
