Fundamental Surgery Launched in the US



Tern Plc (AIM:TERN), the investment company specialising in the Internet of Things ("IoT"), is pleased to note the announcement from its portfolio company, FVRVS ("FundamentalVR"), in which it has a 18.3% holding, that it has launched Fundamental Surgery, a first-of-its-kind SaaS platform in the USA.

Fundamental Surgery combines virtual reality ("VR") with cutting-edge haptics (the sense of touch) to create low-cost and scalable flight simulator experiences for trainee and qualified surgeons.

The SaaS system uses a unique Surgical Haptic Intelligence EngineTM ("SHIE") which is calibrated to mimic real life sensations relating to surgical practices. Its initial U.S offering will focus on training packages within the Orthopedic Surgical disciplines. Available to order today, current procedures supported include Spinal Pedicle Screw Placement, Posterior Hip Replacement and Total Knee Arthroplasty. Further orthopedic procedures will be added during Q4 2018 with other disciplines, including general surgery and cardiovascular slated for 2019.

Tern CEO, Al Sisto, said: "We are delighted to see the launch of Fundamental Surgery in the United States, which we believe represents an important next step for the company."

Invma is a key partner so would think a long term contract will be in place.

Whatever deal they do for DA, it goes without saying that Tern need to ensure the other investee companies reliant on Keyscaler can continue to access it, and at reasonable cost.

No way Thales can allow anyone else to control a majority share of the global HSMs market ......they have taken yrs to build it and have now perfected it with keyscaler

[mike routhorn] 14/8/2018 21:02

I also think Thales are favourites but I would not dismiss the possibility of a bid from a former leader currently locked in a spiral of bad news ie. Symantec.

They have a very big war chest and urgently need something to get them on the up again.

Buying DA would instantly put them in a pivotal and leveraged position and it's not every day you can do that with just one purchase.

A lot if revenues are now building and the growth curve has started.

https://www.theengineer.co.uk/haptic-vr-surgery-simulation/Got in late tonight so this may have been covered already. I'd fancy a bigger % of FVR.

SW - Thales have always been my favorites but we need them to compete to extract maximum value

[still waiting] 14/8/2018 20:50

Thales have pilots so thought they may be first.

[sweepie2] 14/8/2018 20:43

SW You don't think that Comodo will give the first update, thing is will we hear about it?

[dave444] 14/8/2018 20:42

Hi Tyrano no argument on importance but the 2 major areas need to give approval which hopefully they will

[tyrano1] 14/8/2018 20:40

Dave, they certainly are but it suggests that they have provided an answer on the HSM monopoly question that has satisfied several governments already. When you look at where HSM's are strategically important eg governments, industry and finance then its every bit as important to Canada and others as it is to the US and EU.

[kkrriiss2] 14/8/2018 20:40

Kk the European Union and USA approval are the important ones

Thanks dave444

Any good news from Thales/da medical launch and I think it will be game on.

[warrenfingerfood] 14/8/2018 20:34

So cut and pasting actual information is inferior to what,Making it up? I would rather have a link or cut and paste news item to pure opinion.

[loughton] 14/8/2018 20:33

Obviously.

The whole point is that I am a desperate lying idiot!

[dave444] 14/8/2018 20:29

The whole point is to have them compete!

[johnma] 14/8/2018 20:25

So will Symantec

[still waiting] 14/8/2018 20:12

Dave, Atos will be watching very closely..

[kidknocked] 14/8/2018 20:04

Of course it's conjecture ! Cut and paste kkrriiss strikes again !

[dave444] 14/8/2018 19:55

Kk the European Union and USA approval are the important ones

[kkrriiss2] 14/8/2018 19:53

Bummer .....thought it was done and dusted
