Case Study: SonaCare Medical achieves scalable remote surgical training and faster patient recovery with VSee

How Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox Players Are the Future of Surgery

SonaCare Medical, led by CEO Mark Carol, developed Sonablate — a trans-rectal HIFU focal-ablation system for prostate cancer that minimizes side effects and lets patients leave the hospital and resume normal activity the next day. The challenge was scaling adoption and training busy surgeons on this computer-driven, game-like procedure without requiring costly travel or time away from clinical practice, so SonaCare Medical turned to VSee for remote demos, virtual training, telesurgical consults and live-procedure observation.

Using VSee’s telehealth platform, SonaCare Medical delivers real-time proctoring and hands-on virtual training that lets surgeons learn controls and observe cases remotely, reducing the need for in-person reps or time off. The combination has accelerated clinician onboarding and broader adoption of Sonablate — which is FDA-cleared and projected to save the U.S. up to $6 billion over five years — while enabling patients to recover far faster than with traditional prostatectomy. VSee’s remote capabilities made scaling SonaCare Medical’s surgical innovation feasible.
