Offering immersive, risk-free environments for students and professionals to practice procedures, the metaverse revolutionises medical education. Virtual reality platforms like Osso VR and ImmersiveTouch allow surgeons to hone their skills without endangering patients, with research from Osso VR finding that participants who underwent virtual reality training exhibited a higher level of procedural proficiency.
“The potential impact of this technology is almost unparalleled with over 300 million major surgeries performed annually around the world,” comments Justin Barad, MD, Orthopaedic Surgeon and Founder/CEO of Osso VR. “The biggest challenge we now face as procedural care providers is implementing and utilising this clinically proven technology which will require continued evangelism, research and education.”
Medical schools can create realistic simulations of surgeries and emergency scenarios, providing students with invaluable hands-on experience in a controlled setting. This approach enhances learning outcomes, improves confidence and allows for repetitive practice of complex procedures.
