- Moty Avisar to Deliver Financial Results of Precision VR(R) at The Hong Kong 
Exchanges and Clearing

The CEO and Co-Founder of Surgical Theater, Moty Avisar, will share the value 
of Precision VR(R) at the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) Biotech 
Week.  HKEX is the fourth largest stock market in the world and the fastest 
growing stock exchange in Asia. It provides world-class facilities for trading 
and clearing securities and derivatives in Equities, Commodities, Fixed Income 
and Currency. HKEX provides Surgical Theater with the ideal platform to 
highlight the proven economic value of Precision VR(R) and tout the various 
successes experienced by our hospital partners.

Moty's presentation will illustrate how Precision VR(R) can be utilized across 
the patient care continuum and how that utilization has achieved economic 
success. In a recent study at Hoag Hospital's Skull Base and Pituitary Tumor 
Program, consultations with patient-specific 360-degree Virtual Reality 
(360-degree VR) models enhanced patient engagement as evidenced by increased 
patient retention rates, improved patient understanding and satisfaction.  In a 
retrospective review of new patients from 9 months prior to VR implementation 
to 9 months post-VR implementation with patient-specific 360VR models, the 
patient retention rate increased from 64% to 96% – a 50% increase. Outmigration 
rate decreased from 36% to 4% - an 89% decrease. Resultingly, the contribution 
margin due to implementing Precision VR(R) increased significantly after VR 
implementation by 113%. These results were presented at Becker's Hospital 
Review in 2018 and HIMMS Annual Meeting in 2019.

Surgical Theater is the market leader in virtual and augmented reality 
healthcare services. Our Precision VR(R) platform combines this cutting-edge 
fighter jet flight simulation technology, with a patient's own anatomy. 
Precision VR(R) environments are rendered from comprehensive, combined 
modalities of CT and MRI, as well as advanced post processing images such as 
DTI and BOLD. The 360-degree virtual reality fly-through is designed to allow 
patients and their surgeons to step into the patient's complex diagnosis and to 
walk together in a 360-degree, Virtual Reality reconstruction of the patient's 
anatomy. This first-of-its-kind immersive 360-degree environment allows for 
unparalleled patient education and engagement, while also delivering 
next-generation surgical planning and navigation capabilities. Precision VR(R) 
is proven to increase patient satisfaction, improve patient engagement, and 
improve a hospital's financial performance.

"Precision VR(R) provides 360-degree images that allow patients and surgeons to 
walk inside the CT and MRI –which has been proven to provide better 
communication of medical information between surgeons and patients and surgeons 
and their peers," says Moty Avisar, CEO and Co-Founder of Surgical Theater. 
"This 'walk-in' experience leads to increased retention, reduced outmigration, 
and ultimately a more fruitful bottom line."

Medical Institutions across the country, including George Washington University 
Hospital, UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, Stanford Medical Center, Houston 
Methodist, NYU, University Hospitals, Mt. Sinai and Hoag Hospital are utilizing 
Surgical Theater's Precision VR(R) throughout the patient treatment continuum. 

About Surgical Theater
Surgical Theater, the market leader in virtual and augmented reality healthcare 
services, is the first to combine cutting-edge fighter jet flight simulation 
technology with a patient's own anatomy scans. Rendered from comprehensive 
combined modalities of CT, MRI as well as advanced post processing images such 
as DTI and BOLD, the 360-degree virtual reality fly-through is designed to 
allow surgeons to walk and fly-through a reconstruction of the patient's own 
anatomy and pathology. While wearing the VR headset, a VR-empowered physician 
and patient, walk together into the space between vascular structures, standing 
between the arteries and the tumor, or aneurysm. By simply turning their head 
from side to side and/or up and down, the patient can further explore their own 
anatomy, as the surgeon explains and demonstrates the planned surgical path 
that the medical team will use during their procedure. This 360-degree visual 
representation gives the patient and their families an informative and deep 
understanding of their condition, by visually answering questions regarding 
surgical approaches and other medical concerns.

Recent developments of the Surgical Theater line of products includes the 
utilization of advanced Augmented Reality (AR) techniques. By fusing Surgical 
Theater's proprietary CT/MRI based 360-degree patient-specific model with the 
image from the operating room microscope, synchronized Augmented Reality is 
achieved, which allows the surgeon to see structures that are hidden behind the 
pathology. For example, the surgeon can see the vessel that is hidden behind 
the tumor, and therefore can prepare to protect it during tumor removal, 
potentially preventing adverse effects. SynchronizAR, a one-of-a-kind solution, 
supports a surgeon's challenging and complex mission to remove the pathology 
while preserving the peripheral vital structures.

Precision VR(R) is proven to increase patient satisfaction, improve patient 
engagement, surgical plans and a hospital's financial performance
