Helpmesee Medical Officers has partnered with Arvind Eye Care System and LV Prasad Eye Institute to publish the series highlighting new scientific evidence.
New York, November 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — New scientific evidence demonstrating the value of simulation-based training for cataract surgery, led by medical officers at Helpmesee and their partners around the world, has been showcased in a series of articles published in the peer-reviewed Indian Journal of Ophthalmology. the world Inspired by the innovation of virtual reality, HelpMeSee is a global nonprofit that uses instructor-led simulation-based training to help end cataract blindness.
“New articles published by the Indian Journal of Ophthalmology include new data on the impact of Helpmesee’s instructor-led simulation-based training in training ophthalmologists to fight cataract blindness worldwide,” said Dr. Van Charles Lansing, Chief Medical Officer of HelpMeSee. “At a time when simulation-based training is being incorporated into the curriculum of many hospitals around the world, scientific evidence consistently validates the impact of simulation on surgical training as it reduces the learning curve involved in developing surgical skills.”
Overall, the articles show how simulation-based training is transforming the training landscape in ophthalmology and how practitioners can reduce complications using this method. Released in November 2022 issue, four original articles were written by Helpmesee medical officers and partners from institutions IndiaNamely Arvind Eye Care System, LV Prasad Eye Institute and includes the following subjects:
Face, content, and construct validity
Led by a team MumbaiThis paper uses the helpmesee eye surgery simulator as a basis for analysis from structured feedback from expert cataract surgeons. As cited, many experts felt that the visual representation of surgery in the simulator was too realistic. The article included face, content, and construct validity studies that showed very favorable results. HelpMeSee is led by partners and medical officers Akshay Gopinathan NairChetan Ahiwala, Ashish Bachav, Lansing, Article available at PubMed.
Report on trainee performance
Medical officers at Arvind Eye Hospital, Madurai – one of the first hospitals India To incorporate simulation training into its structured training program – this paper was authored. The paper presents data from a pilot study of personnel who evaluated simulated surgical outcomes among surgical trainees using the Helpmesee eye surgery virtual reality simulator. This article was written by HelpMeSee Medical Officers Lansing, Bachav, Ahivalai and other contributors. It can be found in PubMed.
The Way Forward – Embracing Technology in Cataract Surgery Practice
This editorial is a consensus statement of Indian eye education thinkers. Led by HelpMeSee Medical Officers Lansing and Nair, this collaborative editorial identifies gaps in ophthalmic residency training and highlights how technology tools like surgical simulators can be incorporated into ophthalmic training — even in resource-limited settings — with positive outcomes. The article can be found on PubMed.
Cataract surgery risk stratification models
In collaboration with the LV Prasad Eye Institute, Helpmesee’s Lansing led the study, which focused on developing a risk stratification system that predicts outcomes in patients undergoing cataract surgery. The predictive ability of these learning models is based on a large, real-world cataract surgery data set to determine which patients will benefit most from vision restorative surgery. The article can be found on PubMed.
“HelpMeSee’s leadership and team of medical officers shared valuable insights on the importance of research to validate and accelerate simulation-based training,” said. Dear Jahani, President and CEO of HelpMeSee. “Overall, these papers demonstrate the critical impact of instructor-led simulation-based training in reducing cataract blindness worldwide.”
About HelpMeSee
In a world where 100 million people are blind or visually impaired due to cataracts, HelpMeSee is working to end cataract blindness using virtual reality and simulation-based training. The non-profit organization was founded by Al and Jim Ueltchi, he saw an opportunity to end suffering by bringing innovation from the aviation industry to the fight against cataract blindness. As co-founder of Orbis International and founder of Flight Safety International, Al Ueltchi He was an icon in the aviation industry dedicated to treating preventable blindness in developing countries. Today, his legacy lives on through Helpmesee. The organization trains cataract specialists to ensure access to cataract treatment as a human right to sight for all communities, especially those with severe financial difficulties. With more than 40 simulators and 11 training centers around the world, Helpmesee partners with governments, universities and innovators to fight the global cataract blindness crisis.
