Performing operations repeatedly and constantly being exposed to different procedures can make all the difference in a surgeon’s career.

But as a surgical trainee, performing these procedures can be daunting, especially if you’ve had little to no real experience with a particular procedure. So how do you prepare for a surgery in a way that’s safe and convenient?

Based in London and New York, Touch Surgery is a surgical simulator that uses 3D rendered content to help healthcare professionals learn about surgical procedures and rehearse for surgery. It’s available for free as a mobile app—giving anyone, anywhere the opportunity to learn about and practice over 100 surgical procedures that span 15 specialities.

Joining us on this episode of HealthRedesigned is Ali Bahsoun, Product Lead and Fiona MacDougall, Senior UX Designer at Touch Surgery.
