November 6, 2023- Ethicon, a Johnson & Johnson MedTech company, debuted an AI-powered Surgical Simulation Platform that supports skill development in current and future surgeons at the American Association of Gynecological Laparoscopists (AAGL) Global Congress. The technology ushers in a new era in surgical training by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), and augmented reality (AR) powered trainings, real-time data, and tactical feedback.
While demand for surgical training remains high, access to quality education can be challenging due to staffing shortages, time constraints, and space limitations. The new Ethicon Laparoscopic Skills Training Platform offers a connected digital learning experience that is highly portable, adaptable to the learner’s evolving circumstances, and effortlessly integrated into their everyday quality education and training routines.
The Ethicon Laparoscopic Skills Training Platform is the latest example of the company’s commitment to delivering personalized and innovative education, expanding reach, and deepening knowledge beyond traditional training experiences. The platform has built-in learning courses that combine tactile skill building with intelligent learning technology to provide evidence-based cognitive and psychomotor skill development. It also includes fundamental surgical training tasks for individual surgeons to hone in on essential skills and techniques as the device detects shapes, orientations, and much more to provide real-time, objective feedback.
Ethicon will debut the platform at the annual AAGL meeting in Nashville, TN. The company plans to pilot the program across academic health systems in the U.S.
