Virtual reality could help avoid deadly medical errors
Israeli startup DecideVR has developed a decision support system based on virtual reality (VR) to combat medical errors in the ICU and ER. The software, created by Prof. Alex Mintz, presents users with realistic scenarios in which they must make decisions in trauma or emergency situations. The VR simulations aim to uncover unconscious biases and improve decision-making skills. DecideVR is currently being trialed in nine hospitals worldwide and plans to expand to cover other medical specialties. The company also aims to establish a Medical VR Forum to create an ecosystem of medical VR companies. The software has potential applications beyond the medical field, such as in non-medical decision-making.

Israeli scientists develop VR platform for uncovering errors in intensive care units
Israeli medical device company DecideVR has completed its virtual reality simulator for identifying decision-making errors in medical treatment in intensive care units (ICU). The simulator detects and reviews errors and biases of medical doctors and interns, providing real-time feedback. A beta version is being piloted in the U.S. The company plans to raise funds and collaborate with other simulation producers, hospitals, and medical schools. The simulator is currently focused on cardiovascular ICU decisions but is being developed for other fields as well. Another version of the simulator is being developed for nurses.
