FACTS

Osso VR has released the Osso Health app for Apple's Vision Pro mixed reality headset. With the launch, Osso VR expands access to its technology to a broader audience, including healthcare professionals, patients preparing for surgery, and those interested in medical innovation.

The app simulates medical procedures with the highest level of accuracy and seamlessly integrates the operating room into the real environment. It enables location-independent, hands-on learning on demand.

The new three-dimensional user interface and input methods using the user's eyes, hands, and voice allow for intuitive exploration of the procedures. You can currently use Osso Health to walk through the key steps of two common orthopedic procedures: carpal tunnel release and knee replacement.
