ImPulse - New Paradigm for Heart Surgery Training

Pediatric heart surgery simulation training module

ImPulse aims to revolutionize pediatric cardiac surgery training. Currently, trainees gain experience through actual surgeries, posing increased risks to patients. Thus, simulation training modules are essential. Janān is a high-fidelity simulation module that simulates every step of pediatric cardiac surgery in a safe, consistent, and repeatable environment, using the same tools and equipment as actual surgery. In addition, Janān and its 3D-printed internal modules represent common congenital heart deformities that all surgeons should treat. 3D printing is particularly beneficial in places with limited access to medical training devices.

JURY STATEMENT

This is literally a life-saving design, a concept that can play a significant role in training better surgeons.
