Fundamental VR’s multi-person training platform could be the future of remote education for the growing medical sector.

In terms of VR-based medical education, few companies are pushing the envelope quite like Fundamental VR. Since the launch of its remote training platform Fundamental Surgery in 2018, the London-based technology and data insight business has established itself as one of the leading providers of professional-grade surgical simulations, offering students and professionals alike an easier way of maintaining the skills necessary to perform effectively in the operating room.

By employing a unique combination of haptic technology and hardware-agnostic software, Fundamental Surgery is able to deliver a genuine sense of touch when performing key surgical actions, interacting with specific medical tools, and operating on different tissue variants. The result is a hyper-realistic simulation that allows students to develop the muscle memory needed to properly operate on human patients.

It is also here students and their instructors can breakdown their performance on past simulations. Trainees are graded based on a wide range of factors, from surgical gaze to the efficiency of their movements. When stuck in a pinch, you can request assistance from the program, though any hand-holding will have a negative impact on your overall score. This information can be accessed by overseeing educators in real-time, allowing them to provide instantaneous feedback.
