SPECIALLY IN COVID-19 TIMES WHEN IT HAS BEEN VERY HARD FOR TRAINEES TO TRAVEL. MOVING THE SIMULATOR TO THE TRAINING LOCATION WHERE MULTIPLE TRAINEES CAN BE TRAINED ON-SITE RATHER THAN HAVE THEM TRAVEL WAS SAFER AND MORE PRODUCTIVE. TO ACHIEVE THE VISION TO BE WORLD LEADERS IN SIMULATION-BASED TRAINING, HELPMESEE IS COGNIZANT OF THE IMPERATIVE NEED TO BUILD A MUCH LARGER FLEET OF SIMULATOR. RECENTLY, HELPMESEE ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH FLIGHTSAFETY INTERNATIONAL TO BUILD AND MANUFACTURE COST EFFECTIVE CUTTING-EDGE SIMULATORS WITH IMPROVED HARDWARE COMPONENTS AND ROBUST TECHNOLOGY FEATURES WITH INCREASED SENSITIVITY OF HAPTICS, MICROSCOPES, AND REMOTE TRAINING SUPPORT CAPABILITIES.

EBOOK ENHANCEMENT AND DEPLOYMENT AS WELL AS KITABOO APP DEVELOPMENT WAS COMPLETED IN 2021THE EBOOK SERVES AS PRE-STUDY MATERIAL FOR TRAINEES ENROLLED INTO HELPMESEE'S SIMULATION-BASED TRAINING PROGRAM. IT COVERS STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS ON EACH SURGICAL TASK IN THE MSICS PROCEDURE. KEY FEATURES: INTERACTIVE AND VERY CURRENT EBOOK WITH GREAT RICH MEDIA EMBEDDED MODELS, 3D IMAGES, SIMULATION, AND LIVE SURGERY VIDEO WRITTEN IN SIMPLIFIED ENGLISH, AND IN AN EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND FORMAT RECENTLY LAUNCHED READER APP THAT CAN BE USED ON ANDROID, IPHONE, MAC, AND PC. THE NEW VERSION IS MUCH MORE USER FRIENDLY AND ALLOWS ACCESS THE EBOOK ONLINE OR FOR DOWNLOAD. ONLINE VIA BROWSER (CHROME, SAFARI, EDGE) DOWNLOAD VIA APPLE APP STORE (IPHONE/IPAD) DOWNLOAD VIA GOOGLE PLAY STORE (ANDROID PHONE/TABLET) ANDROID .APK DOWNLOAD FOR CHINA USERSMSICS EBOOK IS NOW ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL USERS VIA A NEW APPLICATION CALLED KITABOO WHICH WAS RELEASED IN DEC 2021. SEVERAL USERS WHO HAD THE EBOOK ON THE OLD PLATFORM HAVE BEEN GIVEN ONE YEAR ACCESS TO THE EBOOK ON THIS NEW PLATFORM FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR.

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 | HELP ME SEE INC., IS ORGANIZED EXCLUSIVELY FOR CHARITABLE AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES IN THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTIONS 170(C)(2)(B) AND 501 (C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED. SPECIFICALLY, HELPMESEE SEEKS TO ELIMINATE CATARACT BLINDNESS WORLDWIDE BY VASTLY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF QUALIFIED CATARACT SPECIALISTS TO TREAT CATARACT BLINDNESS AND VISUAL IMPAIRMENT. TO ACCOMPLISH ITS MISSION, HELPMESEE HAS DEVELOPED A HIGHLY STRUCTURED TRAINING SYSTEM DEDICATED TO DELIVERING HIGH-QUALITY TRAINING IN MANUAL SMALL INCISION CATARACT SURGERY (MSICS). THIS TECHNIQUE WAS CHOSEN AS IT IS CONSIDERABLY LESS EXPENSIVE AND YET DELIVERS QUALITY OUTCOMES FOR ALL CATARACT TYPES PREVALENT IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD. WELL TRAINED CATARACT SPECIALISTS WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE LOW COST TREATMENT TO MILLIONS OF THOSE WHO ARE CATARACT BLIND OR VISUALLY IMPAIRED. THE PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES TO ACCOMPLISH THE EXEMPT PURPOSE OF HELPMESEE ARE: DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF VIRTUAL REALITY EYE SURGERY SIMULATOR-BASED TRAINING SYSTEM AND; SUPPORT A WORLDWIDE NETWORK OF MSICS LEARNING CENTERS LOCATED IN THE AREAS OF GREATEST NEED. THE NEED FOR SCALABLE SOLUTIONS FOR CATARACT SURGICAL TRAINING GLOBALLY 100M PEOPLE ARE BLIND/VISUALLY IMPAIRED DUE TO CATARACT AND MOST LIVE-IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. OUT OF 193 COUNTRIES SURVEYED MOST DEVELOPING COUNTRIES HAVE A SHORTAGE OF WELL-TRAINED SURGEONS TO DELIVER CATARACT CARE. 23 COUNTRIES HAD <1 OPHTHALMOLOGIST/M POPULATION. IT TAKES 5-7 YEARS TO TRAIN ONE OPHTHALMOLOGIST. THIS GAP BETWEEN NEED AND AVAILABILITY OF SURGEONS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE WITH POPULATION AND AGE. THE WORLD NEEDS A SCALABLE, SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION TO ELIMINATE THE CATARACT SURGICAL BACKLOG. IN NORMAL SURGICAL TRAINING ONE MENTOR TEACHES ONE TRAINEE AT A TIME. WITH SIMULATORS, FOUR SURGEONS ARE TRAINED BY ONE SIMULATOR EXPERT/OPHTHALMOLOGY SURGEON AT HELPMESEE. ALSO, BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF SIMULATORS, INSTRUCTORS OR COURSES THAT CAN BE DELIVERED THERE ARE HUGE OPPORTUNITIES TO SCALE SURGICAL TRAINING LARGELY BECAUSE THERE IS NO DEPENDENCY ON HAVING PATIENTS. RAPID TRAINING CAN BE DELIVERED WITH NO PATIENT RISK OR BIO MEDICAL WASTE. IN THE CURRENT PANDEMIC WHERE SURGERIES ARE CURTAILED AND FEWER OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE FOR SURGEONS, SIMULATOR-BASED TRAINING OFFERS A PARTIAL SOLUTION. QUALITY OF SURGERY IS ALSO A CHALLENGE IN MANY COUNTRIES. ABOUT 10% SURGERIES HAVE POOR VISUAL OUTCOMES. IN REGULAR TRAINING, NOVICE RESIDENTS PRACTICE ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF ANIMAL/HUMAN CADAVER EYES AND THEN COMPLETE MOST OF THE LEARNING ON LIVE PATIENTS. ON A VIRTUAL EYE SURGERY SIMULATOR, RESIDENT CAN PRACTICE ON INNUMERABLE SIMULATED EYES AND LEARN TO MANAGE RARE COMPLICATIONS UNTIL CONFIDENCE AND PROFICIENCY ARE ACHIEVED. IT IS THUS VITAL TO TRAIN SURGEONS TO PROFICIENCY. HELPMESEE TECHNOLOGY HELPMESEE EYE SURGERY SIMULATOR IS A VIRTUAL REALITY (V.R.) TRAINING DEVICE. IT OFFERS HIGH FIDELITY SPATIAL, VISUAL, AND TACTILE REALISM. IT IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A CONTROLLED PRACTICE ENVIRONMENT TO ACQUIRE MSICS PROFICIENCY AND OTHER MICROSURGICAL SKILLS, WHETHER TO A NOVICE TRAINEE OR AN EXPERIENCED SURGEON IN A VIRTUALLY INDISTINGUISHABLE ENVIRONMENT TO REAL SURGERY. THE HELPMESEE SIMULATOR-BASED LEARNING SYSTEM (SBLS) FEATURES SOPHISTICATED INSTRUCTOR-LED COURSEWARE WITH STANDARDIZED TASK-BASED STEPS, SCENARIOS, WITH COMPLICATIONS. TRAINEES CAN ACHIEVE PROFICIENCY WITH OBJECTIVELY MEASURABLE PERFORMANCE SCORES THAT IS OFFERED BY SBLS AS WELL AS GRADING BY SENIOR OPHTHALMOLOGY INSTRUCTORS. WHAT HELPMESEE AIMS TO DELIVER: A) HIGH-QUALITY SIMULATION-BASED CATARACT SURGICAL SKILLS TRAINING TO MEET THE CURRENT AND FUTURE DEMAND FOR AN ESTIMATED 30,000 PLUS CATARACT SPECIALISTS REQUIRED THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPING WORLD. B) PROMOTE THE PROVEN SAFE AND AFFORDABLE MSICS TREATMENT TO RAPIDLY ELIMINATE THE BACKLOG OF SEVERAL MILLION CATARACT PATIENTS AWAITING SURGERY. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH PARTNERSHIPS FOR SIMULATION-BASED TRAINING WITH LEADING INSTITUTIONS AROUND THE GLOBE FOR SURGICAL TRAINING AS WELL AS ADVOCACY. |
