We are excited to announce a strategic collaboration between Next2U and Dr. Giovinazzo, based at Saint Camillo Hospital of Treviso, from which the innovative HIRA for Surgery project was born.
This program is based on a fundamental issue: surgery requires precision, concentration and collabration among the medical team, whose performance is greatly impacted by errors caused by human factors.
Therefore, monitoring the stress, workload and engagement of surgeons in the operating room is of paramount importance, which can improve performance and reduce errors.
As a part of the collaboration between Next2U and the director of the Surgical Area UOC of General Surgery, the HIRA for Surgery project was born to test how methods used to train and monitor pilots can be used to improve training and performance in learning delicate or challenging steps in abdominal surgery.
Our HIRA system piqued the interest of Dr. Giovinazzo: last April, the doctor and his team tested Next2U solutions in a series of training sessions of abdominal surgery phases on a surgical simulator.
In this context, HIRA proved to be a powerful tool for advanced biometric monitoring, cognitive state assessment, and safety-critical indicators.
The outcomes of the first evaluation are so encouraging that a new test and verification session on a surgical simulator, with more than 10 surgeons involved, will be held in June at the San Camillo Hospital, in Treviso.
Follow us to stay updated on the outcomes of this exciting new activity!
