Overview
Fundamental Surgery is a SaaS platform that uses virtual reality paired with patented HapticVR tactile feedback to simulate real surgery for medical training. It lets clinicians practice by experiencing the sights, sounds, and physical sensations of procedures, with AI and machine learning added in 2024 to provide real-time assessments and personalized guidance. The system is hardware-agnostic, usable on standalone headsets or full haptic simulators, and it supports customers like hospitals, medical schools, and industry partners with data-driven insights and accredited content. Its goal is to raise surgical proficiency and patient safety by delivering measurable, transferable skills at scale across global medical education and training programs.
