The app, MITIEverse, transports clinicians into customizable showcase rooms, surgical simulations and lectures from the Houston Methodist faculty and collaborators, according to an Oct. 4 press release.
The aim of the app is to provide clinicians with hands-on training.
“This new app brings the hands-on education and training MITIE is known for to a new virtual audience,” said Stuart Corr, PhD, inventor of the MITIEverse and director of innovation systems engineering at Houston Methodist. “It could be a first step toward building out a medical metaverse.”
