How video games could create better surgeons

News

OMAHA, Neb. (April 15, 2019)—UNeMed’s tech transfer podcast, “Innovation Overground,” published this morning its latest episode, “Improving surgery with video games… and hypnosis?”

In the latest episode, Overground hosts Joe Runge, Tyler Scherr and Charlie Litton, push the boundaries of what it means to do surgery—and fight the opioid crisis—with a virtual reality and augmented reality mash-up.

The episode also featured university inventions, including a laparoscopic simulator and compelling research about the potential value of hypnosis for surgical patients.

Innovation Overground was created to help promote academic innovation and the technology transfer and commercialization efforts at the University of Nebraska and beyond. The podcast intends to examine what it takes to advance academic inventions and discoveries beyond the research bench and into people’s lives as “actual things on a shelf.”

New episodes are published on Mondays, and are available on most podcast channels, including Google Play Music, iTunes, iHeartMusic, Podomatic, Spotify and Spreaker.
