KindHeart

KindHeart was founded in 2011 based on technology developed for a complete cardiac surgery simulation system that makes a real pig heart behave like a human heart during open-heart surgery. Co-founders Dr. Paul Ramphal and Dr. Richard Feins collaborated to develop the first simulators for academic institutions. KindHeart's simulators were made in l... imited quantities in late 2015 and fully commercialized in 2016. Today, KindHeart systems provide a realistic demonstration environment for abdominal, thoracic, and cardiac surgical procedures. Its platform is predictable, flexible, and scalable; it is easy to simulate adverse conditions surgeons might encounter during operations, rectify mistakes, and pause during a simulated procedure. The immersive nature of real tissue, natural movement, bleeding, and other cues from a surgical environment provide doctors a richer experience than virtual reality (VR) or static simulation. KindHeart is also developing tele-simulation capabilities to allow manufacturers to offer surgical sessions, which can be performed remotely and eliminate travel to a remote training center.Read More
