In addition to hands on labs and courses carefully designed to teach surgeons how to safely use robot assisted surgery technology, simulation enables surgeons to hone their skills in a virtual environment. The da Vinci SimNow Skills simulator includes access to pre-set curricula, or enables educators to produce customizable curricula, for training and credentialing purposes.
Clinical procedure modules enable surgeons to further develop their skills by progressing from guided to freehand VR procedures. Results from the simulated procedures can enhance surgical benchmarking prior to the operating room.
SimNow software allows surgeons and educators to easily track performance through an online dashboard delivering real-time metrics.
