Our unique, proprietary technology supports MR scan accuracy.
We provide enabling technology to scientific and clinical research teams for:
Our vision is for every patient and clinician to enter treatment with the confidence that the best-possible MR data is being used. We want our products and programs to help accelerate the rate of successful outcomes from neurosurgery.
In the long run, we want every neurosurgical plan to be made using validated MRI data, so that clinical teams can be sure that they’re using the most up-to-date, accurate information to deliver the best possible care.
Fergal Kerins has spent over 15 years in product development and research roles in the Toronto start-up sector, including structural color materials and nutraceutical product development sectors, and over eight years in neurology and neurosurgery focused medtech with a focus on realistic simulation products that separate the risk to patients from the training of surgeons in new workflows.
Through many conversations with neurosurgeons and healthcare professionals, it became clear that neurologists and neuroradiologists have very limited time to solve structural problems, with significant hours devoted to staying current in a fast-moving clinical speciality.
These specialists have an immediate need for new phantom instruments for MRI applications, but also for a cross-functional, collaborative approach to delivering these products. Kerins positions PreOperative Performance as providing enabling technologies to the neurological communities in support of advancing knowledge, and enabling the highest standard of care.
“Better outcomes from neurological procedures give patients a high quality of life, elevate the trajectory of clinical careers, and lower costs incurred by healthcare providers.”
PreOperative Performance is headquartered in the MaRS Discovery District office complex in downtown Toronto.
