About
ImmersiveTouch is a pioneering medical technology company that leverages state-of-the-art virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to deliver personalized surgical planning solutions. By converting patient-specific imaging data (such as CT scans) into fully interactive 3D models, ImmersiveTouch enables surgeons to visualize, manipulate, and plan complex procedures before entering the operating room. The platform's flagship product, ImmersiveView™ 5, allows surgeons to don a VR headset and interact with patient anatomy as if it were physically present — rotating, scaling, and examining structures that would be difficult or impossible to assess on a flat screen. Immersive AR™ brings this capability directly into the OR, overlaying digital anatomy onto the physical surgical field. Immersive Education™ extends the technology to training environments, helping the next generation of surgeons develop spatial understanding of complex cases. With over 3,000 cases completed, deployments at 100+ sites, and adoption across 6+ clinical specialties — including craniofacial, plastic and reconstructive, oral and maxillofacial, and trauma surgery — ImmersiveTouch has demonstrated real-world impact. Surgeons report shorter operative times, improved accuracy in facial bone reconstruction, and better patient outcomes. The platform is purpose-built for hospitals and private practices that demand precision, speed, and personalization in surgical care.
Key Features
- ImmersiveView™ 5 VR Surgical Planning: Converts patient-specific imaging data into interactive 3D VR models, allowing surgeons to visualize and manipulate anatomy before surgery using a VR headset.
- Immersive AR™ Intraoperative Overlay: Projects digital anatomical models into the physical operating room environment, giving surgeons a real-time AR reference during procedures.
- Immersive Education™ Training Platform: Provides medical students and residents with immersive, patient-derived anatomy models for hands-on surgical education and case preparation.
- Patient-Specific Imaging Integration: Ingests individual patient scan data (e.g., CT) to build personalized 3D models, ensuring surgical plans are tailored to each patient's unique anatomy.
- Multi-Specialty Clinical Support: Supports 6+ clinical specialties including craniofacial, plastic and reconstructive, trauma, and oral and maxillofacial surgery across 100+ deployment sites.
Use Cases
- Pre-operative planning for complex facial fracture repairs, allowing surgeons to rehearse the procedure on a patient-specific 3D model before entering the OR.
- Intraoperative AR guidance during craniofacial and reconstructive surgeries, overlaying digital anatomy onto the surgical field for real-time spatial reference.
- Surgical resident training using immersive, patient-derived anatomy to develop spatial reasoning and procedural confidence before performing live surgeries.
- Case review and multidisciplinary team discussions, where surgeons use VR models to communicate surgical plans clearly to colleagues, anesthesiologists, and patients.
- Trauma surgery triage and planning, enabling rapid 3D assessment of panfacial fractures and other complex injuries to optimize operative strategy.
Pros
- Proven Clinical Impact: Over 3,000 completed cases demonstrate measurable improvements in surgical accuracy, reduced operative time, and better patient outcomes.
- Intuitive Hands-On Interaction: Surgeons can grab, rotate, and inspect 3D anatomy within seconds of putting on the headset, requiring minimal onboarding to gain value.
- End-to-End Surgical Workflow: Covers pre-operative planning (VR), intraoperative guidance (AR), and surgical education in a single integrated platform.
Cons
- Enterprise Pricing: As a specialized medical platform, ImmersiveTouch is priced for hospitals and institutions, making it inaccessible for individual practitioners with limited budgets.
- Hardware Dependency: Requires compatible VR/AR headsets, which adds hardware procurement and IT support overhead for healthcare facilities.
- Niche Specialty Focus: Currently optimized for a limited set of surgical specialties, which may not address the needs of all surgical departments within a large hospital system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of surgeries can ImmersiveTouch support?
ImmersiveTouch currently supports 6+ clinical specialties, including craniofacial surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, trauma surgery, and oral and maxillofacial surgery, with ongoing expansion into additional specialties.
How does patient imaging data get into the platform?
Surgeons or clinical staff upload patient-specific imaging data (such as CT scans) through the platform's secure data upload portal, which then processes the files into interactive 3D models.
What hardware is required to use ImmersiveTouch?
Users need a compatible VR headset to access ImmersiveView™ 5 for pre-operative planning. Immersive AR™ requires AR-capable hardware for intraoperative use. Specific hardware requirements are available through a demo request.
Is ImmersiveTouch suitable for medical education?
Yes. Immersive Education™ is a dedicated module designed for teaching surgical anatomy and case preparation, allowing students and residents to interact with real patient-derived 3D models.
How do I get started with ImmersiveTouch?
Interested hospitals and practices can request a demo through the ImmersiveTouch website. The team will guide institutions through integration, data upload workflows, and staff onboarding.
