Exhibition of Training Simulation System for the “hinotori™ Surgical RobotSystem” at the 108th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Urological Association
Medicaroid Corporation (HQ: Kobe, Japan; President: Kaoru Asano; hereinafter referred to as “Medicaroid”) andMimic Technologies, Inc. (HQ: Seattle, WA, USA; CEO and Chairman: Jeff Berkley; hereinafter referred to as“Mimic”) is jointly developing a training simulation system (brand name: hi-Sim™) for the “hinotori™ Surgical
Robot System” (hereinafter referred to as “hinotori™”) equipped with 20 core surgical skill exercises that will beshowcased at the 108th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Urological Association. (December 22~24, 2020)

Surgeons perform a variety of training to acquire advanced surgical skills, and simulation training is essential toobtain the skills necessary for robot-assisted surgery. Medicaroid’s training simulation system will be operated bytrainees using the Surgeon Cockpit*¹ of the hinotori™ Operation Unit. The simulation exercises in the 3D Viewer
enables surgery simulation comparable to the actual robot-assisted surgery. This training can teach vital skills tosurgeons to help maximize safety and effectiveness in performing robot-assisted surgery and will contribute toimproving the quality of life of patients.
Since 2003, Mimic has been developing simulators with surgical robot companies and has the largest installedbase of any digital surgery simulator company. Mimic uses state-of-the-art technology to maximize virtual realism.
Moreover, Mimic’s industry-standard psychomotor skills exercises and advanced analytics can help accelerate
proficiency in robot-assisted surgery.
Medicaroid will showcase the training simulation system (brand name: hi-Sim™) being co-developed with Mimic,
equipped with 20 core surgical skill exercises and scoring functions at the upcoming 108th Annual Meeting of theJapanese Urological Association in Kobe, Japan on December 22~24, 2020.
Medicaroid is committed to help meet the evolving needs of the surgeon to perform safe and effective robotassisted surgery for patients.
