PrecisionOS, has retained Richard E. Mayer, Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, to join the company’s Scientific Advisory Board.  Dr. Mayer will provide advice concerning scientifically based instructional design for the company’s virtual reality (VR) training modules for surgeons. 

All six surgeons are highly-respected in their area of expertise and have either served, or are currently serving, on numerous prestigious organizations and committees in the sports medicine area.

The six surgeons are all highly-respected in the orthopedic community and have either served, or are currently serving, on numerous prestigious organization boards and committees. All six have published extensively, as well as lectured to national and international audiences on their respective areas of expertise while being educators to hundreds of residents and fellows.

Outline of study: a 15-year-old patient presented with chronic groin and leg pain. The treating surgeon diagnosed the young man with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and undertook a percutaneous pinning procedure (placing an implant into the hip), halting the surgery due to difficulty with visualization of the leg bone structure and interpretation. The surgeon later returned the patient to the operating room (OR) for a second attempt which was also unsuccessful. These two failed surgical attempts involved significant doses of anesthetic and radiation.

Delaney’s special interest is the shoulder, which is the entire focus of her practice, and will work with PrecisionOS to develop advanced virtual reality (VR) training in this interest area.
