Osso VR has been awarded the US Air Force Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract. The first phase of the project includes a feasibility study to determine VR surgical training’s benefits and application within the Air Force.
The highly competitive SBIR program encourages domestic small businesses to engage in federal research and development that has the potential for commercialization. It also enables small businesses to explore their technological potential and provides the incentive to profit from its commercialization.
Osso VR’s scientifically validated training platform is designed for surgeons, sales teams and other trainees to address complexities in learning common procedures and to use new medical devices by providing realistic, haptic-enhanced interactions in an immersive training environment. In addition, Osso VR’s technology offers objective assessment of technical skill, which has been shown to directly correlate with patient outcomes.
