The 14th SoFraSimS conference, entitled ‘The learner at the heart of simulations’, took place from 1 to 3 April at the Collège Santé de Bordeaux (University of Bordeaux), in collaboration with Bordeaux University Hospital.
I.CaRe Bordeaux played a key role in the organisation and scientific content, with contributions from Professor Jean-Christophe Bernhard and Dr Gaëlle Margue.
Dr Gaëlle Margue spoke at the plenary session:
‘Pre- and intraoperative planning using 3D-printed digital twins: the case of complex kidney tumours’
Professor Jean-Christophe Bernhard took part in the round table discussion:
“Technical simulation and technical expertise: from the anatomical subject to immersive digital technology — hits and misses, an industrialist’s dream or a teacher’s reality?”
This involvement highlights I.CaRe Bordeaux’s significant contribution to:
Healthcare simulation
Training in robotic surgery
Educational and technological innovation
Working closely with the Robotic Training Centre Bordeaux (RTCB) and the RHU Digital Urology 3D (DU3D), I.CaRe Bordeaux is developing a unique integrated approach combining:
• digital twins
• 3D printing
• virtual and augmented reality
• mental simulation and procedural simulation
A unique translational R&D initiative within the University of Bordeaux, positioning I.CaRe Bordeaux as a key player in transforming surgical practices and training.
A highly engaged regional and national ecosystem
This dynamic is underpinned by close collaborations with academic, hospital, industrial and institutional partners, notably within the framework of the RHU DU3D and regional initiatives (Aqui3D Robethic).
Thank you to all the teams involved for the quality of this event and the fruitful discussions.
