Osso VR partners with the regions Cardiology learning institution to scale immersive learning resources
Last week, Osso VR continued its success story by providing XR training for healthcare professionals and learners through a new curriculum module release that the firm co-developed with the American College of Cardiology (ACC).
Osso VR is partnering with the ACC to expand its presence in the cardiovascular sector, as currently, many healthcare training solutions providers aim to distribute immersive training towards niche medical procedures.
Speaking on scaling targeted healthcare training solutions. Ami Bhatt, MD, FACC, ACC Chief Innovation Officer, added:
ACC’s goal is to improve access to high-quality cardiovascular care. We are thrilled to collaborate with Osso VR to augment traditional interventional training for some of the more complex and cutting-edge procedures in our field. This collaboration is the first step in a broader effort to increase access to consistent interventional cardiovascular care in the U.S. and globally.
According to the partners, with each firm’s combined experience providing tools and resources to healthcare sectors, learners can optoptimize-existing procedures and modules, leading to better patient outcomes.
Justin Barad, MD, founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Osso VR, said, “We’re honoured to introduce our cardiology module in collaboration with the ACC.”
Barad also added:
The ACC has transformed the way cardiovascular care is being delivered – with innovation and technology being a cornerstone of this success. The alignment of our institutions’ missions is strong, and with the vision of organizations like the ACC, we are progressively seeing immersive training become the standard for provider education globally.
The ACC, Osso VR partnership gives professionals access to various training simulation tools that allow learners to complete repeatable, risk-free virtual modules. Notably, the ACC collaboration allows Osso VR to target training procedures which improve complex left atrial appendage occlusion procedures.
Osso VR Gain New Training Tools
Osso VR added five new modules to its library in January, expanding its orthopaedic surgery specialities. These modules provide hyper-realistic content across various subspecialties and offer trainees access to an extensive orthopaedic VR training library featuring over 30 modules.
One standout model is the diagnostic knee arthroscopy, which incorporates an innovative assessment tool called “Illustrative View”. This feature is available in the immersive operative suite and on the Osso Analytics web platform, allowing users to visualise their performance and enhance their comprehension of anatomic understanding.
Justin Barad noted at the time:
Healthcare is facing considerable challenges, as we are seeing a shortage of healthcare professionals who must perform an ever-growing number of procedures that are also increasing in complexity.
Accompanying the arthroscopy module are four other orthopaedic procedures: supracondylar humerus fracture and carpal tunnel release. These join recently added content such as bi-malleolar ankle fractures and femoral neck fractures.
Osso VR stresses that every module within Osso Academy’s Premium Content Library is designed to align with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Milestone and Case Minimum requirements. This alignment complements the existing training curricula.
Osso VR’s solution plays a proactive role in training surgical professionals, offering a preparatory step before they engage in real-life surgeries in operating rooms. This approach addresses challenges inherent in traditional educational models, such as travel constraints, scheduling issues, and collaborative obstacles.
Moreover, in 2023, Osso VR introduced new “Hand Control” features, which negates the need for a user to leverage a controller to navigate and interact with immersive training scenarios. Osso VR is staying ahead of the innovation pack; with the firm continuing to scale and optimise, auidences should keep their eyes on the innovative and inventive group.
