Fundamental XR Immersive MedTech Training Platform

Fundamental XR, formerly FundamentalVR, is a London-based company that builds immersive training for clinicians and for the clinical, manufacturing and commercial teams of MedTech and pharma companies. It addresses the cost and limited access of hands-on surgical and device training, which traditionally depends on cadavers, wet labs, operating rooms and travelling experts. It reports 500,000+ training hours delivered, 200+ healthcare institutions and 50+ countries reached.

The platform delivers custom or ready-made simulations across VR, mixed reality, AR, web and mobile apps, combining realistic anatomy, simulated imaging devices, haptic feedback and generative AI. Teams can train together for tutoring or role-based practice, and an insights platform tracks usage, assessment and competency, with single sign-on integration. Programmes cover ophthalmology (cataract, retina and gene therapy), robotic surgery, endovascular procedures and urology, with partners such as Johnson & Johnson MedTech, Novartis, Philips, Teleflex, CMR Surgical, Mayo Clinic, NHS and Orbis.

• Haptic VR simulation: physical feedback through touch and motion for procedures such as cataract and retina surgery.
• Mixed reality and AR: virtual content blended with real settings for procedural walkthroughs, guided demos and on-site assistance.
• Realistic anatomy and imaging: recreations of patients and treatment mechanisms plus simulation of a customer's own imaging device.
• Generative AI: AI-supported learning and feedback within simulations.
• Multi-user training: tutoring, teamwork and role-based training anywhere, anytime.
• Insights platform: tracks usage, assessment and competency, with enterprise security and single sign-on integration.

• Eye hospitals in Vietnam training residents in cataract surgery with haptic VR before operating on patients.
• Medical device distributors training surgeons and sales engineers on robotic or interventional devices.
• Medical universities adding immersive procedural modules to surgical and nursing curricula.

• Faster skill building: Fundamental XR reports 40% faster learning and a 95% skill retention rate.
• Higher confidence: an endovascular programme recorded a 293% increase in user confidence, and ophthalmology training has served more than 30 countries.
• Lower training logistics: a robotics programme achieved a 400% reduction in physical setup assistance.
• Commercial traction for MedTech: device makers can train surgeons and sales teams on their own simulated devices anywhere.

MedTech companies launching robotic, interventional and ophthalmic devices must train large numbers of surgeons and field staff quickly, while cadaver labs and operating-room time are scarce and costly. Standalone headsets with hand tracking and haptics now allow procedural practice outside the OR. In Vietnam and Southeast Asia, expanding private hospital networks and device distributors need scalable ways to train clinicians on new procedures and equipment.
