About the ProMIS™ Surgical Simulator
Clinical
The ProMIS Basic Skills Curriculum and Surgical Procedures were developed in collaboration with leading
surgeons and learning experts from the UK, Ireland and US. These included, among others, Pr Sir Ara
Prof
Darzi, Prof Oscar Traynor at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and Members of the American College
of Surgeons/ACS Committee on Education including Prof Gerald Fried and Steve Schwaitzberg.
In addition, summarised below is a small number of papers published on ProMIS. Further information on
ProMIS validation is is available in pdf or on our website www.haptica.com.
ProMIS™ is the only simulator that has been validated with the American College of Surgeons/SAGES
Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) Program. Studies using the FLS Tasks in ProMIS™ show:
• FLS tasks are transferable to the ProMIS™ simulator with traditional FLS scoring and intrinsic ProMIS™
metrics being good measurement tools.1; ProMIS™ metrics are “excellent predictors of scores in the
standard FLS simulator”2 and “predict readiness for FLS Certification”.3-4
• 100% of trainees felt that ProMIS™ "simulated reality effectively compared with only 38% in the VR
group"5
• "Experts performed the simulated [ [LapColorectal Surgery] procedure significantly faster with more

Technical
ProMIS™ uniquely enables users to interact with virtual and physical models in the same unit while
providing accurate, comprehensive feedback on performance. In a number of studies, ProMIS™ out-
performs Virtual Reality (VR) in terms of validity and user preference; see below for summary of key
validation results. ProMIS™’ ‘mixed reality’ approach delivers the following unique features and benefits:

rather on a more holistic procedural process;
