Technology
SurgicalSteps is more than just a VR simulator—it’s a personalized training system that adapts to each user’s skill level and provides real-time feedback.
Our team consists of leading surgeons, engineers, and medical educators dedicated to transforming surgical education.
3D scans allow for highly realistic anatomical structures, making training scenarios more true-to-life.
Physical resistance and tactile sensation simulate real surgical interactions.
Models tissue deformation, swelling, and bleeding for ultra-realistic interactions.
Difficulty levels adjust dynamically based on performance, ensuring optimal learning progression.
Train for high-stress situations like unexpected bleeding or critical structure damage.
Traditional surgical training relies on cadavers, animal models, or observation—methods that lack real-time feedback. SurgicalSteps brings hands-on, interactive learning to any location using commercially available VR headsets and open-source UNITY software, making it affordable and accessible.
Cadaver-based surgical training is challenging due to ethical concerns, high costs, and lack of real-time feedback. In addition, observation-based methods can leave patients vulnerable to complications.
SurgicalSteps (MENTOR VR) provides trainees with an interactive, step-by-step guidance of real patient cases in a risk-free virtual environment. The steps are constructed based on validated methods that translate to improvements in surgical awareness and patient safety. MENTOR VRis affordable and accessible on commercially available VR headsets.
