Medi-XR
Founder:
Paula Kranz- paula@wheelhousemedia.tv
Healthcare education is costly, time consuming and lacks the frequency needed to keep professionals on the cutting edge of readiness. Performing high-stakes operations under pressure can mean a matter of life or death. Yet in many cases, the operating room or ER is the first- or second time medical professionals may see a high-stakes trauma. As such, medical error is the 3rd leading cause of death in American, causing over 200K deaths and costing providers $20B annually. Immersive VR video simulations – which gamify learning anytime, anywhere via scripted scenarios – address all those issues. With real-time haptic and AI feedback for users and informatics for administrators, MedXR’s VR videos will increase performance on for high-risk, low-frequency healthcare scenarios, improve learning by 70%, decrease training costs 30% and time by 40%. We are helping to revolutionize healthcare education.
