Siemens Healthineers | Virtual Reality Training

German medical device company Siemens Healthineers AG has added VR training to its 3D X-Ray system in collaboration with PrecisionOS. The VR training consists of surgical modules to train surgeons and technicians on how to use 3D C-arm, Cios Spin. 

In one of the VR training modules, surgeons and technicians can visualize a virtual training room and a virtual patient working on the Cios Spin using an Oculus Quest 2. Not only does this help them fully understand intraoperative quality control, but also surgical workflow guidance. The modules consist of various preoperative scenarios where surgeons can learn how to communicate with a patient before performing a complicated surgery. 

The VR training aims to facilitate better peer-to-peer collaboration in the operating room, resulting in better patient care and OR safety.
