REMOTE MEDICAL TRAINING & PROCTORING

Education for Interventional
Neuroradiologists

Our partnership with Tegus Medical enables real time advice and training for Interventional Neuroradiologists.

Tegus allows a physician to perform a procedure with the assistance of a mentor or company support representative without needing this support person to be in the same operating suite during the procedure.

The low latency, encrypted, secure streaming platform provides a high-quality camera image that is controlled by the proctor, providing a 360 degree view of the operating theatre in real time with audio communication.

By utilizing this technology, we can ensure our education and support programs remain uninterrupted, regardless of geographical or time restrictions.

Tegus has over 50 cameras installed throughout Europe and the Middle East and Medtronic can support any case using any camera.

Advantages of Remote Proctoring:

Proctor travel can take over half a day in some instances. Using a remote system saves time and money
Remote proctoring prevents a Proctor’s department from being short staffed for any longer than necessary
Remote proctoring can also be used across shorter geographical distances for time sensitive cases

HIGHLIGHTS

This workshop has been the very first one offering the participants the unique possibility to follow a Live Case remotely via the Tegus platform. Dr Galdamezwas quoting this technology as “a new standard of proctoring!”
Very interactive exchange between Dr Galdamez and the attendees on the complex case management presented by him, and evaluating alternative and different treatment approaches
Participants were presenting very nice cases, treated or planned for the near future, to receive feedback and input on treatment from the faculty and from the other physicians attending. For the cases to be planned in the near future, the possibility of remote proctoring by Dr Galdamezwas discussed
Very dynamic session on the Radial approach led by Dr Schuller. The presentation was generating a lot of exchanges, including the difference in radiation exposure for the HCPs, compared to the femoral approach and the learning curve needed to be familiar with this new treatment technique.
