Medical Student Education

Transform medical education with a comprehensive suite of tools that integrate various forms of content into a single, cohesive learning environment. Explore 3D anatomical models, 3D and 2D DICOMs, and 360 degree immersive videos to connect theoretical concepts with real patient data. Solo, peer to peer, and class learning are all possible with virtual learning tools such as presentations and annotations. AI-powered personalized teachers provide tailored guidance and quizzes for learning retention. By applying the principles of experiential learning, you can engage in hands-on practice and reflective observation, using quizzes and annotation tools to enhance collaboration.

Proctoring & Preceptorship for Surgical Training

Overcome geographical barriers and instantly transport yourself into the OR of a highly experienced surgeon through 360 degree Immersive videos. Join live or on demand and gain a deep understanding of the OR team dynamics, device set up, instrument and surgical techniques and receive advanced advice on anatomical and pathology complexities. From the comfort of your home or office, achieve uninterrupted close up views of the surgical sterile field that are often unachievable in traditional hospital visitations.  apoQlar medical’s unique approach enables remote proctoring for robotic systems, laparoscopic procedures, ultrasound devices, and more, utilizing the HoloStreamer® device to connect and stream all relevant data.  Complement this experience with additional 3D models, DICOM data and patient information in the 3D space to enhance the learning experience.

Medical Device Training

Global workplace shortages are putting skill development and onboarding as a high priority for hospitals and HoloMedicine® Spaces offers an engaging, efficient, and effective way to close the gap1. With the support of apoQlar medical, hospitals can build their own onboarding curriculum to ensure new staff are equipped with the knowledge and skills to set up and operate medical devices in their relevant departments. HoloMedicine® Spaces allows the clinician to actively practice the steps of use and troubleshooting through experiential learning which is known to provide greater learning retention than passive learning approaches2.

Clinical Reasoning Simulation

apoQlar medical is partnering with AI healthcare experts to develop clinical reasoning modules within HoloMedicine® spaces using the latest AI large language modules (LLMs). This will allow simulation and practice for young clinicians to interact with unique patient personas in order to take a patient history, diagnose diseases based on reported symptoms, and create treatment plans. AI bots can supervise in order to provide mentoring and advice to improve learning.
