OphthoSim™

clientlogo-lifescienceshealthcare-otosim

OphthoSim™ is a hands-on simulation system that radically transforms how students learn to diagnose and treat eye pathologies. Its proprietary software and accompanying tools empower students to actively diagnose real-world eye conditions within a simulated environment.

Through an actual ophthalmoscope, students can practice their examination technique with monocular vision while viewing through a realistic simulated-eye, complete with an adjustable iris.  Since ophthalmoscopes only allow a portion of the retina to be viewed at any time, the OphthoSim™ tracks the motion & orientation of the user through an instrumented ophthalmoscope and displays the appropriate region of the retina.

As students view and learn pathologies through the OphthoSim™, instructors can interact with students by landmarking critical features of a pathology. This high degree of student-instructor interaction, combined with experiential learning in a realistic geometry, enables more efficient learning and knowledge retention.

Superior Learning Outcomes & Efficacy:

• Close the learning feedback loop – monitor student progress through the instrumented ophthalmoscope, as students practice technique and identify retinal features

• Increase Accuracy – OphthoSim™ works with the OtoSim™ Otoscopy Training and Simulation System, a platform shown to improve diagnostic accuracy by more than 50%

• Expand student knowledge – system includes access to 200 high-resolution images

• Improve viewer retention – OphthoSim™ offers an immersive full-screen experience with an easy-touse graphical interface

• Broaden student capability – system comes with a series of advanced quizzes featuring randomized, realistic clinical scenarios that test both medical and patient interaction skills
