Immersive VR is Driving Advancements in Endovascular and Robotics Training

In this newsletter, we explore exciting advancements in Immersive VR. 

A new study published in the Journal of Robotics Surgery highlighted the value of immersive VR for robotics training. The second version of our Apple Vision Pro App has launched, taking users into an entirely immersive setting. 

Abiomed continues to redefine training through immersive VR. At the upcoming CRF TCT Conference, they will launch their groundbreaking hand-tracking simulation for the Impella CP® with SmartAssist® insertion procedure.

The Value of Immersive VR for Robotics Training

An exciting new study highlighting the value of Immersive VR for Robotics Training has been published!

The study, published in the Journal of Robotic Surgery, compared CMR Surgical Immersive VR training to e-learning for teaching operating room set-up of the CMR Versius robot.

Immersive VR learning was found to be more effective than traditional training methods for preparing robot-naïve individuals in the operating room set-up of the CMR Versius:

• The VR group performed the tasks 3X more independently.
• The e-Learning group required 4X more physical assistance.
• The VR group was better able to self-assess and more accurately predict their ability to perform the task correctly.

As nursing staff shortage increases as well as turnover rates, advancing nursing and supporting staff training is crucial.

VR can provide a realistic, interactive learning environment, offering a feasible and accessible option in resource-limited settings, whereby individuals are better equipped to self-direct their learning and self-assess performance.
