La siguiente es una carta de nuestro becario de verano MacCoy Weil asistir\u00e1 a la American University de Londres como estudiante de primer a\u00f1o este oto\u00f1o. Muchas gracias a MacCoy por su contribuci\u00f3n durante su estancia en la oficina de HelpMeSee en Nueva York.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Se calcula que las cataratas son responsables de la ceguera total de unos 20 millones de personas en todo el mundo y de la visi\u00f3n gravemente da\u00f1ada de otros 80 millones. La misi\u00f3n de HelpMeSee es devolver la visi\u00f3n al mayor n\u00famero posible de estas desafortunadas personas, muchas de las cuales viven en zonas empobrecidas sin acceso a atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica oftalmol\u00f3gica.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Para llevar a cabo esta misi\u00f3n, HelpMeSee, dirigida por su director general, Jacob Mohan Thazhathu, cuenta con una plantilla de 41 personas \u00fanicas y con talento en todo el mundo. Adem\u00e1s, como organizaci\u00f3n sin \u00e1nimo de lucro, la mayor parte de su financiaci\u00f3n procede de donaciones filantr\u00f3picas, pero tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1n desarrollando un programa de formaci\u00f3n mientras que los fondos recaudados de esta rama de la organizaci\u00f3n se utilizar\u00e1n para formar a especialistas en pa\u00edses en desarrollo sobre\u00a0Cirug\u00eda manual de catarata con incisi\u00f3n peque\u00f1a<\/a>. Durante las dos \u00faltimas semanas, he tenido el privilegio de trabajar con la mayor\u00eda de estas personas inspiradoras e inteligentes que se unen para formar la empresa HelpMeSee, que sigue marcando una diferencia positiva en el mundo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Nada m\u00e1s llegar, una de las primeras cosas que hice fue familiarizarme no s\u00f3lo con la oficina y mis nuevos compa\u00f1eros, sino tambi\u00e9n con el funcionamiento interno del Simulador. Inmediatamente me qued\u00e9 cautivado por las gloriosas m\u00e1quinas, deseando desesperadamente aprender m\u00e1s. Para mi agradable sorpresa, el t\u00e9cnico del Simulador Biom\u00e9dico, Anthony DeSantis, tampoco lo dud\u00f3 y nos pusimos manos a la obra.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Antes de poner un dedo en nada, me contaron la historia de HelpMeSee y el desarrollo de sus\u00a0Simulador de cirug\u00eda ocular<\/a>. Hubo m\u00faltiples modelos que precedieron al que hoy tengo delante, pero incluso la versi\u00f3n m\u00e1s primitiva superaba la mayor\u00eda de los est\u00e1ndares tecnol\u00f3gicos oftalmol\u00f3gicos. Si Anthony me hubiera preguntado cu\u00e1nto tiempo cre\u00eda que hab\u00eda existido la empresa al ver su \"museo en miniatura\", puedo garantizar que habr\u00eda supuesto que entre 15 y 20 a\u00f1os. Ahora s\u00e9 que esta especulaci\u00f3n habr\u00eda sido err\u00f3nea por un amplio margen. Estoy divagando; lo que intento transmitir desde mi experiencia aqu\u00ed es que el ritmo de cambio y crecimiento de esta empresa es incre\u00edble. Los simuladores ni siquiera exist\u00edan los dos primeros a\u00f1os. Luego empec\u00e9 a conocer todos los componentes del simulador.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

I never anticipated that so many other companies had to work with HelpMeSee in creating both the Simulator\u2019s hardware and software. Moog is a company that is based in Amsterdam and specializes in creating high-performance motion control solutions. They played an especially integral part in creating the Eye Surgery Simulators<\/a> because they were essentially the \u201carchitects\u201d that brought the HelpMeSee idea to life. In the very beginning, we came to Moog and asked them to help and create a Simulator for us (with their haptics technology included). They agreed, and we gave them specific guidelines and criteria. Moog was then able to make everything that we asked for, but because they were only a haptic technology company, extra help was needed. SenseGraphics, Insimo, and Harman were all brought in to help with the graphics, physics, SIA, SBLS, and more. Moog was the original link, but today HelpMeSee works directly with the other three companies. What an incredible array of work coming together! Finally, more connections were made with other businesses because there were certain parts that we needed. Long story short, by the end of my first day, I already had a great appreciation for work that went into making the Simulator that I have been privileged to use every day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

El segundo d\u00eda, mi lecci\u00f3n de historia lleg\u00f3 a su fin, pero cuando una puerta se cierra otra se abre. Empezamos a analizar el Simulador que ten\u00edamos delante y a ver c\u00f3mo funcionaba. El Simulador quir\u00fargico actual de HelpMeSee contiene muchas piezas diferentes. Algunas de las piezas m\u00e1s notables son sus 3 PC, un chip gr\u00e1fico del tama\u00f1o de una moneda de diez centavos y 2 piezas de mano multifunci\u00f3n con retroalimentaci\u00f3n h\u00e1ptica en directo. Los PC controlan el tiempo real y la simulaci\u00f3n convirtiendo las se\u00f1ales anal\u00f3gicas en digitales. Tambi\u00e9n se coordinan con la interfaz de usuario. Esta es una cantidad muy peque\u00f1a de informaci\u00f3n (y hay una pl\u00e9tora de cosas que no mencion\u00e9 y que no s\u00e9), pero el tiempo que dediqu\u00e9 a comprender los fundamentos del Simulador el segundo d\u00eda result\u00f3 valioso para el resto de mi programa de voluntariado. De hecho, pas\u00e9 la prueba de cualificaci\u00f3n para el \"Nivel 1 de formaci\u00f3n en tecnolog\u00eda de simuladores\", lo que significa que supuestamente tengo conocimientos suficientes para ser instructor o demostrador (probablemente sea cierto, porque hice demostraciones muchas veces a lo largo de las dos semanas).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Estoy incre\u00edblemente agradecido a Anthony por haberme transmitido una parte de su sabidur\u00eda. Sabe todo lo que hay que saber sobre el Simulador y aprender de \u00e9l hizo que mi experiencia fuera a\u00fan m\u00e1s memorable. Incluso con una pizca de conocimiento acumulado, puedo calibrar completamente el Simulador, encenderlo y llegar a un punto en el que puedo hacer una cirug\u00eda yo mismo (\u00a1mal si se me permite a\u00f1adir!), y solucionar problemas en caso de que haya un problema.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Poco a poco fui adquiriendo m\u00e1s conocimientos e informaci\u00f3n, y me embarqu\u00e9 en una aventura que aprovechar\u00eda al m\u00e1ximo mis dos semanas: realizar yo mismo la MSCIS en el simulador. Absorb\u00ed todo lo que pude sobre la anatom\u00eda del ojo, los t\u00e9rminos quir\u00fargicos y c\u00f3mo realizar ciertas partes de la operaci\u00f3n. Fue muy humillante para m\u00ed porque tan pronto como empec\u00e9 a encontrar consuelo en mi comprensi\u00f3n primitiva del Simulador, volv\u00ed al \"punto de partida\". Contrariamente a lo que algunos puedan pensar, esto no era algo que temer. De hecho, me sent\u00ed bastante euf\u00f3rica cuando me enter\u00e9 de que tendr\u00eda la oportunidad de aprender de una experta en su respectivo campo, la Dra. Mina Baldota. Estoy muy agradecida a HelpMeSee por no haber apagado mi sed de conocimientos, sino por haber encendido a\u00fan m\u00e1s mi fuego inquisitivo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

En primer lugar, para comprender realmente lo que iba a hacer, necesitaba una base s\u00f3lida (de la que no dispon\u00eda debido a mi falta de experiencia m\u00e9dica). Por lo tanto, la investigaci\u00f3n sobre el MSCIS, los astigmatismos, las im\u00e1genes anat\u00f3micas del ojo y la observaci\u00f3n de un modelo f\u00edsico me proporcionaron algunas de las herramientas necesarias para empezar a aprender. El sitio\u00a0Manual de Cirug\u00eda de Cataratas con Peque\u00f1as Incisiones eBook<\/a> La gran variedad de contenidos multimedia y la interfaz de usuario f\u00e1cil de usar me facilitaron el estudio (mientras lo le\u00eda, tambi\u00e9n le daba mi opini\u00f3n y le mostraba a Hina un peque\u00f1o problema que hab\u00eda detectado).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

En mi primer d\u00eda de entrenamiento,\u00a0Dra. Minal Baldota<\/a> y tuve una llamada Zoom con el Dr. Daniel Hutter, para que pudiera criticar y ayudar al Dr. Minal con la forma en que me estaba ense\u00f1ando. Yo, por mi parte, estaba empleando toda mi capacidad mental en recordar y emplear en el Simulador lo que hab\u00eda estudiado recientemente. Por suerte, el Dr. Minal tuvo la amabilidad de repasar conmigo algunos conceptos y partes de la cirug\u00eda antes de empezar. Me lo pas\u00e9 en grande porque intentaba asimilar constantemente el laberinto de informaci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica en el que estaba inmersa. Nadie intentaba hacerme perder el tiempo y continuamos repasando diferentes partes de la cirug\u00eda. Mi primer d\u00eda en el mundo de la cirug\u00eda fue memorable, lleno de errores y muy divertido.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Le debo a la Dra. Minal mi m\u00e1s sincero agradecimiento por dedicar regularmente la mayor parte de su jornada a ense\u00f1arme y mostrarme lo que significa ser cirujano. No olvidar\u00e9 mis conocimientos m\u00e9dicos ni mis experiencias porque el trabajo duro y los grandes recuerdos ya est\u00e1n firmemente implantados en mi cerebro.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Tengo escasos o nulos conocimientos m\u00e9dicos, he trabajado aqu\u00ed durante un abrir y cerrar de ojos y, sin embargo, no me cuesta reconocer esta oportunidad. Hay muchas razones por las que me encuentro firmemente de acuerdo con esta conclusi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

En primer lugar, la historia apunta en la direcci\u00f3n de la promesa; la empresa matriz de HelpMeSee, FlightSafety, recorri\u00f3 un camino muy similar (excepto para formar a pilotos de avi\u00f3n). Ambas empresas pr\u00e1cticamente no tienen competidores y cuentan con un vasto p\u00fablico necesitado. Por lo tanto, la creatividad y el duro trabajo de ambas empresas pioneras les han permitido ir a la vanguardia de la tecnolog\u00eda. Si HelpMeSee contin\u00faa su ritmo de crecimiento y expansi\u00f3n como hasta ahora, no veo grandes contratiempos que la aparten de la ola del futuro.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

En segundo lugar, la implantaci\u00f3n de la formaci\u00f3n en simulaci\u00f3n quir\u00fargica para la MSICS (Cirug\u00eda Manual de Cataratas con Peque\u00f1as Incisiones) ofrece a los profesionales m\u00e9dicos y a los estudiantes un mont\u00f3n de ventajas en comparaci\u00f3n con la casi inexistente lista de contras. Me gusta pensar en los simuladores de HelpMeSee como m\u00e1quinas del tiempo; cuando se opera un ojo, un ojo de cerdo o un tomate (cualquier cosa en realidad) reales, se pueden corregir m\u00e1gicamente los errores o volver atr\u00e1s cuando se hace algo incorrecto? Lamentablemente, las capacidades tecnol\u00f3gicas del mundo superan la noci\u00f3n de viaje en el tiempo. Pero, nuestros Simuladores son lo m\u00e1s parecido que tenemos a un \"volver atr\u00e1s\". La posibilidad de realizar ciertas partes o todo el MSCIS tanto como uno desee es una herramienta incre\u00edble. A diferencia de los innumerables ejemplos de la historia en los que no aprendemos de nuestros errores, la formaci\u00f3n con Simuladores tambi\u00e9n facilita mucho el autoan\u00e1lisis y la introspecci\u00f3n. Imag\u00ednese que todos los estudiantes de medicina de Estados Unidos se entrenaran en estos Simuladores cuando aprenden MSCIS. Es m\u00e1s, \u00bfqu\u00e9 pasar\u00eda si cada estudiante pudiera acumular cientos de horas de experiencia antes de tocar un ojo real? Estoy dispuesto a apostar mi vida a que si esto ocurriera, los \u00edndices de competencia quir\u00fargica aumentar\u00edan dr\u00e1sticamente mientras que el n\u00famero de errores caer\u00eda en picado.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

As shown, there seems to be a compelling argument for the utilization of surgery simulators, but this is just the beginning. HelpMeSee focuses on the MSCIS, but there are numerous kinds of cataract operations such as the Facoemulsificaci\u00f3n<\/a> (\u201cPhaco\u201d) and ECCE operations. Therefore, simulators could not only be used for cataract surgeries, but for all kinds of operations. I hope that one day, my great-grandchildren can live in a world where there are training simulators for every kind of surgery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Incluso teniendo en cuenta esta informaci\u00f3n, los plazos parecen seguir siendo un enigma. No s\u00e9 si esta predicci\u00f3n se har\u00e1 realidad en un d\u00eda, un mes, un a\u00f1o o una d\u00e9cada, pero con casi cien millones de personas en el planeta que padecen deficiencias visuales por cataratas, las simulaciones quir\u00fargicas pueden cambiar el mundo. Cuanto m\u00e1s nos formemos, m\u00e1s ayudaremos y creceremos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Me encuentro en deuda con mucha gente; a cada una de las personas que tuvieron la suerte de cruzarse en mi camino, gracias por contribuir a que disfrutara de las pr\u00e1cticas de mi vida. Me siento como si ya llevara aqu\u00ed toda la vida. El entorno del que he tenido la suerte de formar parte es algo que nunca hab\u00eda visto antes. Nada m\u00e1s llegar, me sent\u00ed inmediatamente acogida y supe que estaba a punto de embarcarme en un viaje realmente especial. Esta empresa a\u00fan no ha alcanzado todo su potencial, pero a medida que pase el tiempo, me asegurar\u00e9 de seguir de cerca c\u00f3mo HelpMeSee revoluciona la tecnolog\u00eda m\u00e9dica y todo el sector sanitario.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
