Démontre que l'avenir de la formation est la réalité virtuelle
PARIS – Oct. 13, 2021 – PrecisionOS s'associera avec le Congrès mondial de la colonne vertébrale pour co-organiser le(s) premier(s) cours de formation chirurgicale en réalité virtuelle (VR) sans cadavre pour les interventions de la colonne vertébrale. Prévu cette année du 3 au 6 novembre à Paris, le Congrès attire plus de 2 000 chirurgiens du monde entier, ce qui en fait l'une des réunions les plus complètes sur la colonne vertébrale.
La formation VR, intégrant des casques Oculus Quest, couvrira les procédures de la colonne vertébrale et permettra aux participants de collaborer pendant le cours, de partager leurs réflexions et leurs idées et de regarder les autres essayer les procédures de formation proposées.
“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 Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery Am. L'étude a démontré comment PrecisionOS aide les résidents seniors en chirurgie à acquérir des compétences chirurgicales 570% plus rapidement que les approches traditionnelles de formation qui ont amélioré leurs capacités de 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.
À propos de 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 est basé à Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique, avec des affiliations collaboratives avec plus de 40 grandes institutions médicales aux États-Unis et au Canada. Son logiciel a été utilisé dans plus de 35 pays et 500 villes à travers le monde.
