MedAchievers and Labindia Healthcare bring Artificial Intelligence based Open Surgery Simulator

The move will definitely help save millions of lives that unfortunately due to lack of trained pool of doctors

Pain of patients due to lack of trained doctors will soon be a thing of the past as Artificial Intelligence comes to the patients’ rescue. MedAchievers Academic Council (a global initiative of MedAchievers) & Labindia Healthcare have joined hands to introduce ‘Open Orthopaedic Surgery Simulator’ in India’s healthcare domain.

“The AI based simulator will be used in spine surgeries, knee surgeries, on basic healing, trauma and other kind of surgeries. The move will definitely help save millions of lives that unfortunately due to lack of trained pool of doctors in specific domain.” says Dr Harsha Vardhan Founder and Managing Director of MedAchievers. He further talks, in India cases of spinal injuries, trauma and similar conditions are very much prevalent and we need to insure hands on training with continuous update and upgrade without hurting patient is needed. With such technologies, we are able to achieve proficiency in respective domain and eventually increasing pool of trained doctors. MedAchievers under this council has also managed to initiate programmes in genomics, ophthalmology and management skills in healthcare.

“To prevent such deaths, MedAchievers has partnered with Labindia Healthcare to start its first centre in Delhi NCR. Together, we will have more such centres in other cities to create safe environment for both patients and surgeons in India,” says Mr Virendra Upadhye, Managing Director of Labindia Healthcare. The technology has been developed by Ossimtech, a Canadian firm.

The Open Surgery Simulator provides the necessary practical environment that enables doctors to see the result in same fashion as they see in the real world while conducting the surgery thus helping them in real world preparedness without hurting the patient.

• India’s first AI assisted training centre to provide a virtual environment for orthopedic surgery.
• A novel initiative will save millions of trauma victims; help doctors to get trained and self assess their competencies.

According to Dr Vardhan, “In India, we have the least ratio of trained doctors as compared of surgeries needed in normal and trauma cases. This course will enable the doctors with specialty training that is necessary for the pool of doctors needed to serve Indian patients in hundreds of hospitals. It can also help the medical experts assess their improvement in performing surgeries as it has real time tools to create the needed set of performance indicators.”

The training will also be imparted to young medical practitioners in medical colleges in undergraduate and post-graduate levels. MedAchievers and Labindia is planning to establish 6 centres of similar scale in the next 3 months and to take it to public and private medical schools in tier 1, 2 and 3 cities of India with each centre about half a million to one million US dollars investment.

Currently in India, the training for human surgeries needs training and practice so as to enable a doctor reach minimum scale of experience. To avoid the deaths and provide a better and safe solution, MedAchievers academic council is offering hands-on practice training courses on basic healing, spine surgery, knee surgery and trauma modules by launching an academy for training on medical simulation where students will be able to practice on the above modules using the simulator which also gives feedback on many parameters to students. The AI driven simulator based training, which is first such training centre in India will bring all necessary real time surgery environment for optimal training.
