apoQlar Medical, a pioneer in medical extended reality (XR) technology, has announced a collaboration with Mayo Clinic for the co-creation of an XR application designed to assist robotic education for the clinical workforce.
This collaboration seeks to combine apoQlar Medical’s technological expertise with Mayo Clinic’s clinical know-how.
Mayo Clinic, in addition to bringing clinical acumen to the project, also aim to develop the robotic education use-case further by directly testing the technology in-house.
Cornelius Thiels, D.O., of Mayo Clinic shared his enthusiasm for the project stating, “Robotic surgery is a fundamental component of surgical care at many hospitals around the world, and together we
have developed strategies to support robotic education and intra-operative robotic assistance.”
This XR technology aims to allow medical students, residents, nurses, physician assistants,
and surgical assistants to engage in an immersive 3D operation in a similar way that the surgeon does.
Sirko Pelzl, CEO of apoQlar, shared his excitement, “We see the fast adoption of robotic surgery around the world. But with any new technology there is always a need to innovate on training and education and this is where we think we can bring something great.”
The use of XR technology in patient care seeks to enhance surgical planning, improve interdisciplinary team collaboration, and enhance patient education.
This collaboration builds upon an existing agreement already in place between the two parties, with the previous project dedicated to leveraging XR technology for developing personalized treatment plans.
