Intuitive Foundation, Nesta Challenges & MIT Solve announced today the launch of the Global Surgical Training Challenge, a contest designed to find innovative ways to develop lower cost, validated, simulation-based surgical training. The global challenge calls on innovators to develop surgical training modules that can be used in low-resource settings to help teach practitioners surgical procedures and techniques.
“A typical teaching module is resource-intensive and expensive,” says Caroline Purslow, Challenge Manager, Nesta Challenges. “We hope the Global Surgical Training Challenge will encourage innovators to develop easily replicable modules that can be used in a variety of settings.”
