Philips’ objective is to enhance product adoption and deployment through advanced immersive VR interventional and surgical training solutions, leveraging data-driven AI and ML insights gathered on the FundamentalVR platform to inform our implementation strategy. The approach to interventional and surgical training must evolve in line with today’s technological advancements, and our collaboration with FundamentalVR has enabled Philips to harness this emerging technology effectively.
By democratizing education, we can reduce the learning curve, leading to faster product adoption. Philips is committed to fostering clinical and technical proficiency, aiming to elevate medical training to the standard of flight simulation training by recognising the potential of VR to enhance the skills of interventional physicians and surgeons.
“When we are in a cath lab speaking to a physician, the physician does not care which business unit you belong to. They have a patient on the table with heart disease, and they need to perform the procedure. What they expect from us at Philips is support with their clinical workflow—they want us to figure out how to support it, how to train for it, and how to service it. From an educational perspective, we approach it in the same way. We aim to create an end-to-end clinical workflow experience.”
—Paul Khait, Head of Global Market Enablement, Philips
