Osso VR has launched a medical training app on Apple Vision Pro called Osso Health. Leveraging Apple Vision Pro to blend digital content with the physical world, Osso Health brings the operating experience to life through detailed, clinically accurate workflows of common procedures.
Osso Health's simulated surgical environment for Apple Vision Pro represents a major milestone in democratizing access to procedural education, according to Osso VR. With this launch, the company is extending its technology to a broader audience, making procedural education accessible to healthcare professionals, patients preparing for surgery, and individuals interested in medical innovation. The Osso Health app is designed to simulate medical procedures and seamlessly integrate the operating room into physical spaces while providing on-demand access to hands-on learning from anywhere. visionOS features a new three-dimensional user interface and input system controlled entirely by a user's eyes, hands, and voice, so Osso Health users can seamlessly and intuitively explore procedures.
The Osso Health app currently lets users engage with surgical workflows for two common orthopedic procedures: carpal tunnel release and total knee replacement. Users can walk through the key steps of each procedure using Apple Vision Pro's approach to spatial computing, which enables medical professionals to explore complicated medical procedures in a secure, controlled, real-world setting. Osso VR's proficiency in medical artistry overlayed onto the real world enhances the authenticity of the training, Osso VR executives claim.
"Osso Health for Apple Vision Pro opens up exciting possibilities for the future of immersive procedural education," Osso VR Co-Founder/Chief Strategy Officer Justin Barad, M.D., said. "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."
Used by healthcare institutions and medical device companies globally, Osso VR is a clinically validated medical training and assessment platform. Using VR content, Osso's scalable platform provides a collaborative, risk-free, hands-on training environment that drives performance and outcome improvements. Co-founded in 2016 by Barad, a UCLA and Harvard-trained pediatric orthopedic surgeon, Osso VR has earned multiple industry awards, including TIME Magazine's Best Inventions, Fast Company's Most Innovative Healthcare Company, and the SXSW Innovation Award for VR. Osso VR covers multiple medical specialties and is available in several languages in more than 40 countries.
