- Integrated VR simulation library for rare emergency scenarios and procedural muscle memory
- Structured mentorship dashboard enabling real-time feedback, task sign-off, and progress monitoring
- Role clarity tools: interactive guides and quizzes that delineate OR nurse vs. anesthesia/surgeon responsibilities per procedure type
Target Users: Newly hired OR nurses and nurse preceptors/educators in hospital surgical departments
Revenue Model: SaaS subscription per hospital or health system, with tiered pricing based on number of active OR nurse learners
