A nova plataforma inovadora utiliza realidade virtual e fone de ouvido Oculus Quest.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, 26 de agosto de 2020 — Tecnologia 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,”
O método PrecisionOS de simulação de RV provou ser superior às abordagens tradicionais em um estudo publicado na conceituada revista ortopédica The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. Ao comparar os métodos tradicionais de treinamento com a realidade virtual, esta pesquisa demonstrou como o software PrecisionOS permite que os cirurgiões entendam os conceitos do procedimento de forma significativamente mais rápida, ao mesmo tempo em que aprimora a habilidade técnica.
Esse tipo de aptidão é especialmente importante em cirurgia artroscópica. Por exemplo, o treinamento em artroscopia do quadril tem uma extensa curva de aprendizado. Os cirurgiões podem exigir até 100 casos antes de se tornarem proficientes, o que pode levar anos para ser realizado.
Como parte de seu compromisso com a educação, o PrecisonOS destacará um segundo ensaio clínico randomizado e seu novo módulo de artroscopia de quadril no Encontro de quadril de jovens adultos com a coordenadora do curso, Dra. Femi Ayeni, no final desta 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.”
Além de melhorar a eficiência e habilidade, o PrecisionOS pode fornecer sistemas hospitalares e centros de aprendizagem com um alívio financeiro considerável. Como os módulos são facilitados por uma solução portátil, o Oculus Quest, o treinamento pode ser realizado em qualquer lugar e a qualquer hora. Os centros também podem economizar em custos de capital, pois o treinamento em artroscopia sempre foi um empreendimento caro e de alto risco.
“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.
