VR surgical training platform expands modules

Osso VR, a virtual reality (VR) surgical training platform, is expanding its modules to additional specialties including interventional procedures and endoscopy.

In today’s environment with limited access to training opportunities, Osso VR allows healthcare professionals to train and assess themselves anytime and anywhere.

Justin Barad, MD, CEO and co-founder of Osso VR, said: “As an orthopaedic surgeon I have seen first-hand the need for an on-demand training and assessment tool for healthcare professionals. Initially Osso VR started mainly in orthopaedics, but what we have found is the unique platform we have built has been widely applicable across a range of specialties. We’re excited to formally launch this expansion in order to reach more healthcare professionals in order to provide value for their patients. This is an important milestone in Osso’s ambitious mission to improve patient outcomes, increase the adoption of high value medical technology, and democratise access to surgical education worldwide.” 

Osso VR’s surgical training technology provides on-demand, immersive experiences that are effective, repeatable and measurable to help surgeons reach proficiency with new procedures and devices. The platform has become integral to surgical training programs worldwide and is currently used by thousands of surgeons each month in 20+ teaching hospitals and 14 medical device companies in over 20 countries.
