About Syndicom

Developing innovative collaboration environments for education, research and design in the healthcare industry

A Syndicom collaboration environment is founded on a community of practice that consists of individuals who interact with each other under a set of behavioral protocols to develop, combine and share knowledge in order to achieve common goals.

What differentiates Syndicom’s collaboration environments from others is not just our extensive understanding and knowledge about collaboration, but our proven track record on building collaboration environments for research, design, and innovation.

Founded in 2000, Syndicom has developed a cutting-edge collaborative community platform – developed on more than 30 years of research by Raymond Miles (University of California, Berkeley), Charles Snow (Pennsylvania State University), and Grant Miles (University of North Texas).

Syndicom launched its first community, Syndicom SpineConnect™, in February 2004. It quickly garnered wide acceptance within spine healthcare communities. Everyday, spine surgeons log onto SpineConnect™ to collaborate about; challenging and unusual cases, develop novel approaches to treatment, address top challenges in spine healthcare, and create technological solutions that focus on current product market needs.

Today, Syndicom also works with medical device manufacturers to develop private communities of practice where surgeons can interact with devices to extend training beyond an event, leverage experts in a new way, innovate and help improve overall quality.
