With the current software version for the Eyesi ophthalmicsurgical simulator, VRmagic offers trainee ophthalmologists not only a detailedevaluation of their own surgical performance, but also a comparison with thetraining results of other users. This data processing option is made possibleby networking the training systems, which are installed worldwide.
Using the Eyesi virtual reality simulator, ophthalmologistscan systematically practice surgical techniques in a risk-free trainingenvironment. After each training unit, the simulator shows a detailedperformance evaluation. On simulators that are connected via the internet,users can now additionally access a statistical analysis, which shows their ownperformance in comparison with the anonymized training data of other surgeons.
In the current testversion, around 250 data records from 39 training sites are included in theperformance comparison, says Markus Schill, CEO at VRmagic. “Based on theinitial responses, trainee ophthalmologists are very interested in thecomparative feedback so that they can better assess their own performance andtrain in a more targeted way.”
The new evaluation of different parameters on the simulator shows trainees whether their performance is good in comparison with others right from the start. It also then shows their learning curve and how reliably they achieve good results.
The pre-installed curriculum of the simulator includes tasks with an increasing degree of difficulty – from surgical skills and procedures through to complication management. The performance evaluation takes into account different parameters such as instrument and microscope handling, surgical efficiency and tissue protection. This data is then stored in the system for analysis of training progress.
