)--Linking the Frontiers of Technology, Serving Business InnovationSeptember 26 News: At the Oculus Connect 6 event, Johnson & Johnson Institute highlighted the significant effectiveness of using Oculus VR headsets for surgeon training and expressed its hope to make this training available to all surgeons worldwide in the future.
In 2018, the Johnson & Johnson Institute, under Johnson & Johnson, announced the launch of a VR training program for surgeons and nurses. This VR course features three unique VR training modules for orthopedic surgeries, including total knee arthroplasty, total hip arthroplasty, and hip fracture management.
Sandra Humbles, Vice President of Global Education Solutions at Johnson & Johnson Institute, stated at the event that Osso VR is the VR business partner for the training program, and this VR training initiative has achieved the expected outcomes. An independent study by Imperial College London found that 83% of surgeons who received VR training were able to familiarize themselves with the laboratory environment with minimal guidance, whereas the percentage was zero for those trained using traditional methods. Therefore, Johnson & Johnson aims to expand this program to provide VR training technology to surgeons worldwide. This article was translated by Qingting Network from:venturebeat
