What we built
One system, from the practice bench to the program dashboard.
From one smartphone to a multi-camera system, synced frame by frame.

Hand tracking and a close-up view measure every session.
Metrics
Plus many more.
Instrument meets tissue
Measured on every stitch.
Specific feedback with clips of the resident's own work beside an attending's. A score tells residents where they stand; coaching tells them what to change in the next session.
“Keep your hands close to where you are stitching. Don't lift them away between stitches.”
“Use both hands. Your other hand should hold the tissue steady while you stitch.”
“Line the needle up first, then turn your wrist to follow its curve.”
Program analytics and review tools: objective records of technical skill, week by week, to support competency decisions.

Every session becomes structured performance data that helps the next surgeon improve.
Who it's for
We started in residency training. Here is what the same system can do for other groups.
Simulation centers
Add a capture station to the bench, and FinePoint scores and coaches each session. The same cameras and software are moving up to pig lab work.
Pilot it in your sim center →Surgical societies and courses
Standardized physical models, with metrics published in cardiothoracic surgical training.
Bring it to your course →Global surgery
Training with Global Smile Foundation and a leading U.S. children's hospital.
MedTech
Use structured procedural data to understand how devices and procedures are used, improve training, and evaluate performance.

We build each training module with your faculty, and run it alongside your program.
If you want to publish, we support co-authored research and grants. Data is handled under IRB approval and a data-use agreement.
