Designing a mixed reality headset to elevate burns training for surgeons
Dr Stefan Hudson, Clinical Innovation Fellow, and Mr Ryan Kerstein, Consultant Plastic Surgeon, had an idea that could transform burns training for surgeons and significantly reduce costs for the NHS. They reached out to Team Consulting expressing current challenges during burn assessment and care, with the idea to explore using a mixed reality concept, a blend of physical and virtual environments, to train their surgical staff. By harnessing the power of mixed reality, they wanted to create immersive and customisable burn simulations both quickly and cost-effectively.
