The VR group was found to be not only superior to non-VR trainees in technical skill, but also to have learned the information 570% faster.
In a recent independent study, experienced surgeons assessed the skills of VR and non-VR trainees. That's where you want them to fail, not on you.” “VR is exciting because it moves it closer to that model, and they can practice and fail hundreds of times in a simulator or in VR. “Pilots, when they get on a plane, they've had to have quite a few hours in the simulator,” he says. Rob Oliveira, Co-Founder and CCO at Precision OS, likens the training to a flight simulator that runs numerous different scenarios. And that is what we focus on with our technology.” It's doing the same thing with variation, which actually brings you towards expertise. “You don't do the same procedure over and over again to become an expert, because every patient is different. “So how do they get that practice before they get to the O.R.?” asks Goel. And even then, they won’t have seen every possible situation that can arise during a procedure. Medical education also makes use of cadaver labs, lectures, and on-the-job training, but it can take healthcare providers months to become proficient. Whereas medical textbooks and plastic models show neat-and-tidy representations of bone, muscle, and organs, the reality is quite different. “It's actually challenging 400 years of dogma, which has been to learn on plastic models or to learn on cadavers,” he says.
Goel, CEO of Precision OS and an orthopedic surgeon himself, says their goal is to change the way we think about surgical education. Surgeon Simulator: ER is available right now on the PlayStation Network for $19.99 and will be coming to HTC Vive on December 5th.Dr. YOU VR is a VR tool worth taking a look at to get an idea of an academic application of virtual reality as well. While this is a more humorous take, it wouldn’t be surprising to see a more serious use of a similar digital space to train students. You’re given a wealth of tools to pull teeth, cut out eyeballs, smash ribs, and more along with different modes to change the experience like trying to work in the dark or with no gravity. The game itself is essentially a physics sandbox and destruction simulator where you’re the surgeon destroying your workspace and the body before you, even in outer space and on an alien’s body. While Surgeon Simulator is more realistic than Operation, the game throws you into ridiculous, unsanitary dark humor. Surgeon Simulator: ER is available right now for VR players to put on their gloves and start working on their patients. The PlayStation Experience saw the release of a handful of games during the first keynote and PS VR was not left out. Bossa Studios isn’t making you wait very long to sterilize and start operating, either.
Virtual reality is paving the way for equally tense experiences where the stakes are raised a bit within the more realistic virtual spaces, and that’s what Surgeon Simulator: Experience Reality is doing. It’s a simple game that can create incredibly tense moments that will be shattered by the loud buzz of a failed attempt. Operation is a classic board game where you use little tweezers to remove parts of the anatomy from a character as carefully as you can.
