The offering leverages the power of Apple Vision Pro to blend digital content with the physical world. Osso VR aims to bring the operating experience to live through detailed, clinically accurate workflows of common procedures.
Osso Health offers a simulated surgical environment to democratize access to procedural education. With the launch, Osso VR hopes to extend its technology to a broader audience through the widely available system. It makes procedural education accessible to healthcare professionals, patients preparing for surgery and those interested in medical innovation.
This marks yet another medtech application on Apple’s VR headset. Karl Storz, Siemens Healthineers and Stryker recently unveiled their own surgical education offerings using the system.
Osso VR designed its app to simulate medical procedures at the highest fidelity. It seamlessly integrates the operating room into physical spaces and provides on-demand access to hands-on learning from anywhere. The visionOS feature offers a brand-new, 3D user interface and input system controlled completely by the user’s eyes, hands and voice.
The Osso Health app lets users engage with surgical workflows for two procedures right now. It covers common orthopedic procedures known as carpal tunnel release and total knee replacement.
“Osso Health for Apple Vision Pro opens up exciting possibilities for the future of immersive procedural education. Apple Vision Pro unlocks new opportunities to scale spatial computing in healthcare with groundbreaking display quality and virtually lag-free learning experience, helping solve important challenges to education in healthcare,” said Dr. Justin Barad, co-founder and chief strategy officer at Osso VR.
