Our take
Osso VR is at the convergence of two major trends, the falling cost of VR and the acceptance of technology in healthcare. By introducing VR into the surgeon training curve, Osso is not replacing the in-person element, but making in-person training the final piece, dramatically reducing time and cost of laborious training processes.
The startup has managed to distinguish itself from other healthcare VR training tools through scalability and talent. The startup employs designers come from Industrial Light & Magic, Apple, Disney, and Microsoft as a Preferred Partner of Oculus, the most ubiquitous, off-the-shelf headset.
The company plans to exponentially grow its library and platform to even the most obscure procedures, increasing its attractiveness to hospitals and healthcare professionals globally.
While the company has had great success up to this point, it is currently conditional on the prevalence of Oculus. The company must make sure that in the long-term it is not a casualty of the emerging ‘metaverse’ competition amongst Facebook, Apple, Microsoft and Google.
