World’s largest ‘Virtual Reality’ hospital to open in Bydgoszcz
The world’s largest virtual hospital is set to be built in Bydgoszcz by InventionMed, a medical technology firm that uses virtual and augmented technology simulators to aid the training of medical professionals.
The company has received a grant of 16.2 million złoty from the Ministry of Investment and Economic Development, and will sink that back into a 29.5 million złoty project that will see the development of a virtual hospital and leading edge R&D centre.
Principally known for their TutorDerm simulation, InventionMed’s centre will play to the firm’s strengths and specialize in aesthetic and clinical dermatological training.
In addition, the five-storey, 3,000 sq/m centre will also explore other areas of medicine such as cardiology, cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, anatomy and neurological rehabilitation.
“The concept behind creating a VR/AR Centre of Innovative Medical Simulations is a response to the research and technological gap existing on the Polish market,” says Tomasz Kierul, the President of the Board of InventionMed.
