Current surgical training simulators and staging areas are expensive and fixed modalities in teaching hospitals, medical training facilities and high acuity surgical centers. Recently, many practice specific specialties in medical training have commercialized online training, offering certified education with hands on approaches. However, surgical skills training continue to lag because of a lack of portable, cost effective, standardized and connected innovative platforms to enable dynamic immersive experiences. Surgical specialties typically have hundreds of unique surgical procedures and a myriad of complications that are overlooked and missed, many of which can be effectively captured on Virtual Reality (VR) simulators. Truly connected digital health 3D surgical training platform capabilities are slim to non-existent other than internet video recordings. In a pandemic world, the market for VR is estimated to grow to over $60B by 2027 impacting global economies in a health crisis. Emerging long term challenges of managing chronic disease patients with post Covid-19 long haul complications can potentially be addressed by immersive VR and AR solutions as interactive ways to educate patients about disease progression, therapies and treatment methods. “There are 143 million surgical procedures missed globally which is a significant unmet need,” said Moh Barathan, Chief Operating Officer at 8chili. “Today, 97% of surgeons prefer to practice or rehearse surgical procedures prior to operating room surgery. Average cost of traditional surgical simulators in the hundreds of thousands make this a money pit and magnified cost center, we need innovative 3D connected solutions to overcome such barriers to cost and scale for wider adoption.”
