Bilateral Contracts with Industry

HelpMeSee and Sensegraphics

The swedish company Sensegraphics and the NGO HelpMeSee have signed for 2 contracts for technology transfer. The contract focus on the design of a simulator to treat cataract surgery using the MSICS (Manual small incision cataract surgery) technique.

Digital Trainers

The company Digital Trainers has signed a two year contract and a two year license with our group for the transfer of our suture simulation technology. The contract aims at improving the simulation by using an adaptive model for the suture thread and continuous constraints for the interaction with the soft tissues. Haptic feedback will also be investigated.

Collin

We have started a collaboration with INSERM - UMR-S 867 (minimal invasive and robotized otological surgery) Faculté de Médecine Paris Diderot Paris 7 and with the company Collin which is developing some activities in the domain of the head and neck (middle ear implants, surgical instruments, surgical navigation, ...). The objective of this project is to obtain a simulation tool applied to the ear surgery for both training and planning of middle ear surgery. Guillaume Kazmitcheff is doing his phD in the context of this collaboration: he is paid by a CIFRE contract with Collin, he is mainly working with the INSERM team but the design of the simulation is done in collaboration with our group and he is enrolled in the university of Lille 1.
