Transport surgeons into the surgical suite for real-time training in virtual reality
We believe everyone - regardless of physical location - deserves access to quality care. By allowing surgeons to remotely train in real-time, we’re dissolving the physical barriers that restrict the adoption of modern medical devices and procedures. Medical device technology and surgical techniques are constantly evolving, placing a high demand on innovative ways to learn these new procedures. As a result, VR provides the perfect alternative to operating theaters, granting physicians and residents the ability to view live-streamed surgeries, conducted by expert surgeons.
Immertec specializes in real-time training with virtual reality, pushing surgical innovation to the next level. For instance, using our virtual reality platform, residents in remote locations get transported into an operating room. Consequently, with a VR headset, they learn modern surgical procedures and collaborate with other residents and training surgeons in real-time.
