We envision a world where doctors and hospital staff can train whenever and wherever they need. No matter where they work. No matter the procedure. A world where device companies and medical teams can practice together from anywhere, and empower themselves to grow with accurate assessment and insightful data. So they can deliver better outcomes for patients everywhere.
Our VR training and assessment platform enables healthcare professionals to train on any procedure and to stay on top of the latest advancements in medical technology. So the people we count on to restore our health and save our lives have training as advanced and effective as the procedures they perform.
Our values define what we believe in and why we do what we do. We earn our
place in the medical community by making things that advance them.
We enable healthcare professionals to learn new procedures, acquire new skills and assess their performance, so they can provide the best outcomes for their patients.
We believe where you practice shouldn’t limit the procedures you can perform. Our platform provides access to training and assessment for any procedure, whenever and wherever the need arises.
Objective assessment is key to learning and growth. Our platform analyzes performance data to give surgeons insight into their proficiency and provide guidance on how to realize their full potential.
We help device companies introduce new techniques and deliver clinical training at scale. So practitioners everywhere can explore, learn and adopt the best innovations for their patients.
