Computational Medical XR: The Next Frontier in Healthcare

ORamaVR is building CMXR, a special category of virtual reality software where AI, medical knowledge, robotic digital twins, and real-time analytics converge with immersive/ extended reality to solve critical healthcare challenges. While the company’s software can be used for a wide variety of use cases, from training and surgical planning to rehabilitation and therapy, the company’s focus is the training associated with medical devices and surgical robots. Similar to the flight simulator used by commercial airline pilots, CMXR systems can both improve and accelerate the training of all health care personnel.
