FundamentalVR’s low-cost simulation education could take the medical field by storm.
For the past 150 years, surgeons across the globe have been trained in a seemingly tried and true manner. Today’s leading medical professionals honed their craft through classroom instruction, cadaver based learning, and observation–rather than participation–in the operating room.
The use of simulations in surgical education has emerged in the last decade, but the costs associated with simulation equipment have prevented the practice from becoming mainstream. By combining virtual reality with cutting edge haptics in just launched software platform Fundamental Surgery,FundamentalVR is attempting to lessen the costs and increase accessibility to hands-on, simulation education for the medical community around the world.
