The virtual reality experience allows customers to get familiar with the plant topology, as well as training critical procedures. Please get in contact with [email protected] for your questions.

Lindsay Ross-Stewart, PhD, is the leading researcher of imagery-assisted virtual reality in both athletics and medicine. As part of her applied research at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, she worked with the Cougars baseball team to study how athletes can use imagery-assisted virtual reality to increase their confidence and performance. The program required athletes to watch video of themselves via a smart phone application in virtual reality goggles, and practice a guided imagery script as many as three times a day. Results showed significant changes in the players’ psychological practice skills, including automaticity, relaxation, self-talk and imagery, as well as psychological performance skills.

The surgical training system is broken and outdated. Despite the incredibly long and intense training periods required for surgical residents, many surgeons are underprepared for the cases they see. Dr. Justin Barad shows how we can give surgeons in-depth, hands-on training using virtual reality to help prepare them for operations and procedures. Justin Barad, MD is the co-founder and CEO of Osso VR, a clinically validated and award-winning surgical training platform. Early in Dr. Barad’s career, he fully intended to become a game developer, but when a family member became ill he decided to use his technology background to solve healthcare challenges and moved toward medicine. With a strong interest in “serious gaming” and a first-hand understanding of the challenges facing residents and experienced doctors, he co-founded Osso VR with a mission to democratize access to modern surgical techniques and improve patient safety. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
