Touch Surgery
Touch Surgery offers an app that allows users to practice surgery at any place and any time.
Touch Surgery is an interactive mobile surgical simulator that guides you step-by-step through every part of an operation, and every decision that’s made along the way.
The Touch Surgery app was designed by qualified surgeons, to help qualified & trainee surgeons perfect their skills and practise prior to a procedure. Touch Surgery allows surgeons to practice operations ranging from heart surgery to carpal tunnel operations by breaking down complex operations into their component steps – and scores are awarded for accuracy and knowledge.
Using the app, surgeons (and patients!) can ‘perform’ each stage of an operation on their mobile or tablet. Using sophisticated technology, Touch Surgery is creating accurate and valuable surgical content, disseminating the best techniques and procedures to improve the quality of surgery worldwide. It is an excellent platform for medical practitioners to discover the latest procedures authored by leading specialists.
