In order to achieve a sustainably affordable healthcare in 15 years, we consolidate Dutch strengths in science and technology, and focus research and development of innovative technology toward healthcare priorities. The Innovative Medical Devices Initiative of the Netherlands (IMDI.NL) is a national initiative for research, development and implementation of a new generation of technology for a sustainably affordable healthcare. IMDI.NL has successfully created a unique knowledge infrastructure where University Medical Centres, Universities of Technology, partners from industry and healthcare institutions collaborate in 8 Centres of Research Excellence (CoREs), executing on aligned priorities.
The IMDI priorities for technologies are: A. to support independence of chronically ill, B. to enable professional care delivered closer to home, C. to increase efficiency of professional care and D. to prevent the burden of chronic conditions. Healthcare systems worldwide urgently need innovative technology to stay affordable. Join our mission and connect to info@imdi.nl!

Mr. Erik-Jan Vlieger Mauritskade 63 1092ADAmsterdam The Netherlands +31(0)20 261 47 12 http://www.incision.care vlieger@incision.care Medical education and training OUR LEARNING MATERIAL The INCISION Academy is your online guide through the practical steps of a surgical procedure, combined with high quality 3D films of those procedures. These 3D films can be viewed on your smartphone.Between continents, countries, or even between hospitals, a variety of surgical guidelines and protocols exist. However, what is universal in surgery, is the human body and the practical steps of performing surgery on it. Our learning material therefore only focuses on the practical steps of the procedure, and the relevant surgical anatomy.
RELEVANT SURGICAL ANATOMY As for the anatomy in our learning material, we only want to provide the anatomy that is relevant to perform the surgical procedure. Nothing more, nothing less.
THE INCISION STEP-BY-STEP APPROACH As for the practical steps, INCISION has developed a standardized format to describe a procedure in reproducible “surgical steps” and “substeps”. We call it the INCISION step-by-step approach.
OUR USERS The INCISION Academy is very suitable as a learning guide for residents. It is used by a number of educational institutes in different countries. For surgeons and other surgical disciplines, the INCISION Academy is used for time and place independent Continuous Professional Development / Continuous Medical Education (CPD/CME).

MAKING OF OUR LEARNING MATERIAL The INCISION Academy learning material is carefully put together – by surgeons, for (resident) surgeons. We do not create new knowledge, our material is created from existing knowledge, obtained from experts and up-to-date literature.
