the market (knee & hip) is about to go exponential
.. because of the ageing poulation, arthritis and obesity

fvr: into knee and hip:

The procedures it currently supports include Spinal Pedicle Screw, Total Hip Arthroplasty (Posterior), Total Hip Arthroplasty (Anterior) and Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Also, training & simulation will be crucial as you don't want a botched job (the operations are simply too expensive):

"The Cost of Joint Replacement”, published in 2018, the total cost per hip replacement was USD 22,076, whereas total cost per knee replacement was USD 29,488."

Andy Kicklighter, Director of Product Marketing, Thales
Sep 12 2019 | 41 mins

Driven by government mandates, the need for greater efficiency, and the desire to enable better patient care U.S. healthcare organizations are universally adopting cloud and other digital transformation technologies. But this transition can put patients’ sensitive healthcare and financial information fundamentally at risk. In this session, we’ll address the state of data security in healthcare companies today, the changing landscape of risks to data due to digital transformation, and IT security pros priorities for data security today.

Based on the results from the 2019 Thales Data Threat Report – Healthcare Edition, expect to learn about:
- How the adoption of digital transformation technologies, and especially cloud, is putting sensitive data at greater risk
- The data security challenges facing healthcare companies today
- Critical analyst recommendations for how organizations can be most effective when selecting the right tools to protect their sensitive data

Retweeting my FVR retweet

[warrenfingerfood] 16/9/2019 11:22

So this Man City fan, feeling the doom and gloom decides to take a break. Walks into a travel agent and asks for a suggestion where to go.
"You can't beat the Canaries" the agent replies.

I wish people would stop whining about the disconnect between the value of the investees and the tern market cap.

[mike routhorn] 16/9/2019 11:13

Tern share of FVR worth far more than the entire current Tern market cap.

Total disconnect.

Disconnects do not last indefinitely.

FVR very much looking like a paradigm changing, world conquering unicorn+.

Did you say who owned the haptic glove?

[likya123] 16/9/2019 11:04

Haha JonC....think we all know what the "C" stands for!!

Game well and truely over.

Many many pounds not pence.

[sweepie2] 16/9/2019 11:00

I was told there would be news but why not a RNS, once again

[jonc] 16/9/2019 10:56

FVR operates in a niche market with many competitors all doing the same thing but each with a different emphasis.

Who owns the haptic glove?

[still waiting] 16/9/2019 10:50

likya, bargains...

[warrenfingerfood] 16/9/2019 10:45

There is no stick to beat FVR with, if you try it would just show you up to be an idiot troll. Maybe that’s why they don’t try to much.yet we still know them to be idiot trolls.

[likya123] 16/9/2019 10:33

Who wouldn't kill for even 1% of FVR and we have 35% of what will shortly become a unicorn and this is only one of our 4 fantastic investments!!!

I have no idea how much our 35% of FVR is currently worth (should get a better idea soon) but I can guarantee it's worth substantially more than the current entire TERN mcap.....our share price is ridiculous and our rerate is iminent!

Genius move by Sisto to grab such a significant share as it was just about to go exponential!


Many many pounds not pence.

[goofrob] 16/9/2019 10:33

FVR news...more great news for Tern PLC. Add this to DA working hand in hand with MICROSOFT...the share price is so undervalued. I predict by the end of October the share price will be 30p or more and by end of the year closer to a pound. Many pounds not pence..GLA...I wait for the criticism from the paid trolls which I will ignore.

'To continue the growth of' I like that phrase

[johnb5] 16/9/2019 10:16

Nice addition to the team. Sales are clearly going through the roof at FVR.

[warrenfingerfood] 16/9/2019 10:14

Looks like we have another born winner working for a TERN PLC asset.

"What sets Fundamental Surgery apart from other solutions is that it is designed to be equipment agnostic, compatible with any VR-enabled PC laptop, VR headset or haptic device enabling it to be delivered at a fraction of the cost. Furthermore, its remote data analytics and data dashboard covering surgical skills and knowledge provide invaluable insight into surgical capability and education progression".

FUNDAMENTALVR ANNOUNCES EXPANSION OF EXECUTIVE TEAM WITH NEW VICE PRESIDENT OF CLIENT SOLUTIONS & PARTNERSHIPS FOR NORTH AMERICA

Kim Parkins brings over 20 years of medical and technology experience to award-winning team to continue the growth of the Fundamental Surgery’s affordable, immersive surgical simulations


LONDON – September 16, 2019 – FundamentalVR, pioneers of immersive HapticVRTM surgical training technology, which combines virtual reality (VR) with haptics (sense of touch), today announced the expansion of their executive team with the appointment of Kim Parkins as Vice President of Client Solutions & Partnerships for North America. In his role, Parkins will build and oversee relationships with residency programs, medical societies as well as device and pharmaceutical partners in North America that utilize the company’s surgical training platform, Fundamental Surgery.

Parkins joins Fundamental Surgery with 20 years of experience in the medical and digital technology sectors. He most recently worked at Digital Surgery, the company behind Touch Surgery, where he served as vice president of marketing and customer engagement. Prior to that role, he was the senior director of marketing at Stryker, a market leading medical technology company, where he specialized in creating and implementing strategic marketing plans around the company’s spine, knee and Mako Robotics portfolios. He also served as a product director at Zimmer Biomet, a respected medical device company focused on orthopaedic implant and instrumentation, where he oversaw the marketing plans for both pediatric and foot & ankle fixation product lines.

“Over the last year, we have expanded Fundamental Surgery into the United States and had the privilege of working with prestigious institutions, such as the Mayo Clinic and UCLA, to help their surgeons and trainees practice and improve their skills as well as work with the organizations to create new simulations and capabilities for our platform,” said Richard Vincent, co-founder and CEO of FundamentalVR. “With Kim Parkins’ impressive background and experience in medical device, orthopedics and surgical simulation spaces, we are looking forward to working with him to continue to foster and expand our relationships within the medical community.”

Named as one of the best inventions of 2018 by Time magazine and 2019 winners of the SXSW Innovation Award for VR/AR & MR, the Fundamental Surgery platform was launched in August 2018. It combines virtual reality (VR) with cutting-edge haptics to create a scalable ‘flight simulator’ experience for trainee and qualified surgeons, allowing them to experience and navigate the same visuals, sounds and feelings they would during a real surgical procedure.

What sets Fundamental Surgery apart from other solutions is that it is designed to be equipment agnostic, compatible with any VR-enabled PC laptop, VR headset or haptic device enabling it to be delivered at a fraction of the cost. Furthermore, its remote data analytics and data dashboard covering surgical skills and knowledge provide invaluable insight into surgical capability and education progression.

Today, Fundamental Surgery is deployed with a number of medical institutions including Mayo Clinic and UCLA in the U.S., UCLH in the U.K. and Sana in Germany with initial training packages focused on the orthopedic surgical disciplines. The procedures it currently supports include Spinal Pedicle Screw, Total Hip Arthroplasty (Posterior), Total Hip Arthroplasty (Anterior) and Total Knee Arthroplasty. All Fundamental Surgery simulations are accredited by the Royal College of surgeons as an activity that demonstrates sufficient educational value to contribute to individual surgeons’ CPD, for which 6 CPD points can be claimed.

Parkins will officially begin his new role at FundamentalVR on September 16, 2019. For further information about Fundamental Surgery, please visit: www.fundamentalsurgery.com.

Last post must have hit a raw nerve.

Yes as soon as the authorities stop the rampers from posting ramptastic nonsense the better these boards will be.
