La nouvelle plate-forme innovante utilise la réalité virtuelle et le casque Oculus Quest.
VANCOUVER, Colombie-Britannique, 26 août 2020 — Technologie 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,”
La méthode PrecisionOS de simulation VR s'est avérée supérieure aux approches traditionnelles dans une étude publiée dans la revue orthopédique très réputée Le Journal de la chirurgie osseuse et articulaire. En comparant les méthodes de formation traditionnelles avec la réalité virtuelle, cette recherche a démontré comment le logiciel PrecisionOS permet aux chirurgiens de saisir les concepts de procédure beaucoup plus rapidement, tout en améliorant les compétences techniques.
Ce type d'aptitude est particulièrement important en chirurgie arthroscopique. Par exemple, la formation en arthroscopie de la hanche a une longue courbe d'apprentissage. Les chirurgiens peuvent nécessiter jusqu'à 100 cas avant de devenir compétents, ce qui peut prendre des années à accomplir.
Dans le cadre de son engagement envers l'éducation, PrecisonOS mettra en évidence un deuxième essai contrôlé randomisé et son nouveau module d'arthroscopie de la hanche lors de la réunion sur la hanche des jeunes adultes avec le président du cours, le Dr Femi Ayeni, plus tard cette semaine.
“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.”
En plus d'améliorer l'efficacité et les compétences, PrecisionOS peut fournir aux systèmes hospitaliers et aux centres d'apprentissage un soulagement financier considérable. Parce que les modules sont facilités par une solution portable, l'Oculus Quest, la formation peut être complétée n'importe où et à tout moment. Les centres peuvent également économiser sur les coûts d'investissement, car la formation en arthroscopie a toujours été une entreprise coûteuse et à haut risque.
“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.
