The Florida Hospital Nicholson Center, a surgical training centre in the US, has introduced its new virtual training platform for interactive remote education and direct surgeon-to-learner communication.
The new platform, known as the B-Hive, is an adaptable mobile broadcast solution that offers a tailored learning experience to prospective surgeons.
The B-Hiveuses video conferencing with advanced surgical training and has been designed to deliver a user-friendly, visual education for new medical devices and procedures.
Florida Hospital Nicholson CenterB-Hive and digital services supervisorco-creator Steven Thekan said: “We saw the need for a device like the B-Hive when our production team would travel the country to help OR teams broadcast their physician’s surgeries.
“Having a whole production team in the OR can be intrusive, distracting and expensive, so we created an all-in-one solution to solve this problem.
“The B-Hive is all-inclusive, remotely operated, and highly interactive. As remote learning continues to thrive, we’re excited to see our educational options meet training needs at a similar pace.”
