On this episode, practising orthopaedic surgeon and founder of Touch Surgery, Ad Gandhe joins the show to discuss Amodisc, his latest venture. This conversation cuts deep into healthcare transformation through technology, as we uncover the story behind a platform designed to educate various grades of surgeons on complex surgeries.
Born out of necessity, the platform tackles the post-pandemic hurdles surgical trainees face and supports professionals in lower income countries. It leverages easy accessible tech, new frontiers like holographic images and AI, to progress learning. But ultimately, it seeks to improve surgical outcomes worldwide.

Discover:

  • How Ad Gandhe, an orthopaedic surgeon started his first app, Touch Surgery in 2010
  • How the difficulty in accessing education as a surgical trainee prompted the idea for Touch Surgery
  • How as a consultant he found himself looking into technology like Photoshop and animation to help trainees learn anatomy
  • How a prompt from his wife, showed him the potential in developing an app
  • How the release of the iPhone 3 started his learning curve in app development
  • How Touch Surgery gained 100K downloads after its release
  • How he exited Touch Surgery, to discover new ways to innovate in the sector
  • How democratising surgical knowledge is one of his main passions
  • How a low-tech smartphone solution became the centre of Amodisc
  • How Amodisc builds on products like HoloLens and MetaQuest to create realistic simulators
  • How they’re putting together tissue simulators, that are so realistic, dogs can’t resist them!
  • How these types of simulations can and will improve psychomotor skills
  • How simulations are essential for mental rehearsal that builds neural networks for surgeons and trainees
  • How even as a surgeon, creativity and innovation are preferable to sleep!
