I AcceptSurgeons new to complex procedures can see 3X higher than normal revision rates1 – lack of training is a key reason for adverse events2.
Practice through spaced-repetition, and then measure skill through our Assessment Analytics™ reports. Our own early validation study results indicate that VR training will shorten the learning curve.
Patient populations requiring surgery are growing3 – this and other factors are contributing to a 34,000 to 88,000 surgeon shortage4 by 2025.
Our Remote Collaboration™ solution can help you scale your education programs to more surgeons than ever with meaningful 1:1 and team training in VR – wherever and whenever the need arises.
At the time of graduation,~30% of residents are unable to operate independently5 and training is not keeping up6 with the latest medical devices and robotics technology.
We use the latest in cutaneous haptics technology – freeing users up to train on the latest instruments, capital equipment, and surgical robotics in fully immersive, hands-on experiences.

With a background in gaming, Dr. Justin Barad’s interest in the medical industry began when a family member faced a tough diagnoses. It was during his medical training, that Dr. Barad realized that surgical training and assessment has not evolved as quickly as the devices themselves – and has remained largely the same for the last 100 years. This was an astounding revelation, especially considering advancements in technical training among other industries. Justin decided he wanted to be a part of the solution to a very real, well defined problem. With a background in software development, he built out the first prototype of what is now the leading virtual reality solution used for training and assessing today’s surgeons, sales teams, and hospital staff.
“During medical training I realized today’s surgical training and assessment standards were broken… what’s worse, they hadn’t been significantly improved in over 100 years.”

“With robots taking learning opportunities away from young doctors, new tools like these are needed.”
“What we’re seeing piloted here is exceptional and exceeds any prior simulators. There are a million reasons why this will be good. It’s cost efficient, it’s scalable and it will certainly help improve the delivery of healthcare.”
