A laboratory with neural interfaces and VR for medical students has opened in Donetsk

A new research laboratory of practical skills has opened in Donetsk at the Gusak Institute of Urgent and Reconstructive Surgery. It will become an educational platform and experimental center for the development of new technologies in medical education.

The laboratory is equipped with modern equipment, such as computerized laparoscopic stations, neural interfaces, virtual reality devices, an expert-class operating microscope, and surgical instruments. In addition, it has simulators for muscles that are used in long surgical procedures. All this will contribute to better training of specialists, providing them with the opportunity to train in conditions as close as possible to real ones.

During practical exercises, the biometric indicators of students will be read and analyzed using machine learning. This will allow to accurately assess the level of training of each medical worker and eliminate the human factor in assessing skills.

The new laboratory will take into account the specifics of the work of medical professionals in difficult conditions, such as stress, intensive work in extreme situations, and the need for quick decision-making. This initiative not only contributes to improving the skills of medical personnel, but also creates conditions for better training of doctors who are able to work effectively in conditions of increased stress and high stress.
