BeBop Sensors, a haptic glove technology leader, and Advanced Medical Simulation Online, a pioneer in remote healthcare education and training, announced their haptic-enabled healthcare VR training tool for remote instruction to medical professionals.

REACH ćVR (Remote Education And Coaching in Healthcare with Virtual Reality), a new concept developed by Advanced Medical Simulation Online, using BeBop Sensors’ haptic VR gloves, to offer curriculum-based training in a number of skills-based medical applications, with haptic feedback, real-time assisted guidance in one system. BeBop’s solution allows the trainee to use their hands naturally to learn, versus using a controller or trackpad. The multi-user environment enables trainers and students to have a much richer experience in the immersive VR environment due to the addition of touch via haptic feedback.

“Our partnership with BeBop Sensors has enabled the creation of a novel remote training virtual reality tool that is invaluable to our trainers and medical students,” said Prof. Nazar Amso, CEO of AMSO. “Despite the pandemic, we can deliver high-quality training to medical professionals via our VR application.”

The emphasis on medical care and training is greater today than ever before and rendering remote healthcare training to medical professionals helps them practice their learning and keep up with required certifications. BeBop Sensors has made haptic actuator and sensor-based VR gloves that will enable Med-Ed Academy to continue its mission of providing vital training to its students. BeBop has a rich history of innovation using sensors in a variety of applications in the medical industry.

“Our fabric sensors and haptic gloves incorporate touch into the VR environment creating a compelling training platform,” said Keith McMillen, CEO of BeBop Sensors. “AMSO and Med-Ed Academy’s vision and remote skills training platform is a perfect example of an application that is immensely valuable to the medical community.”
