Joep Knol is also co-founder of the iLappSurgery Foundation. This is a non for profit Foundation, which aims to improve digital teaching of surgical techniques.
The foundation is supported by educational grants and by personal gifts.
In another part of the website there is more information about the Foundation.
The iLappSurgery Foundation works on the development of Apps concerning surgical pathology (like Rectum/taTME, Liver), but also on Apps that link videos to illustrations.
For example the VIPicture App.
This App is free and can be downloaded in Apple or Google store.
After downloading the App you have to allow the App to have access to the camera.
Then, after starting up the App, one has to touch the screen and point the camera at illustrations indicated with the VIP-logo.
Then see what happens!
