My project pitch is called Surgery 1000. This invention targets medical students and health majors. We as patients can only imagine how doctors are so confident in their work. Of course lots of memorization and practice is involved. However, what f there were a VR head set that let one perform surgeries on virtualized bodies. This new invention would help doctors, surgeons, and pre-med students everywhere to get better at helping people and their performance. The exciting part about this invention is being able to work on a body and make the mistakes without hurting anyone. This is also exciting because it would be to doctors use just incase they wanted to practice before a surgery. Imagine how many successful operations would be performed because of the extra practice this head set would offer. This invention would be accessible for colleges, medical schools, and every hospital. The pricing would be between 5-10 thousand dollars for an entire staff, class room, and college institution. Surgery 100 will bring us into the future of saving more lives and bettering more doctors.

1.What excites you about this project and why?
This has the potential to increase the knowledge medical students that are on their way to being surgeons etc. They get to practice without hurting anyone.
2.What do you want to see more of and why?
would the headset come with the practice dummy? would they be linked somehow?
3.What additional evidence does the audience need for you to be convinced that this research is complete?
How to medical students practice surgical procedures now?
I really like that the doctor and students get to practice before actually doing the procedure because if I was under the knife, I would like to know that my doctor knows what he/she is doing. I would like to see more of an instruction and explanation if the doctor gets something wrong and why it was wrong so they do not make the same mistake later. Some additional evidence that you might want to include is something along the lines of statistical facts about the procedure that the player is going to preform.
1) As a person who is highly interested in medicine, this is probably the coolest idea. I would definitely be one to use this app. I definitely think it’s a good way for surgeons and especially medical students to have a lot of practice before doing the actual thing.
2) I would like to see more evidence or research
3) Audience would probably need evidence on how many doctors actually fail in surgery due to not enough practice.
1. I liked this because it has to do with science and it is a good practice.
2. A picture would draw my attention closer.
3. Make sure there isn’t one close to it.
I was excited about this because people who actually want to be doctors can get more experience before performing surgery on real people.
I would like to hear more information about what will happen if the person that is doing the surgery does something wrong ? will the game end and the person dies? or will there be like a try again screen?
The audience will probably need more evidence of how this will improve the skills of the future doctor, or more evidence that this is what really happens in an operating room.
1. It’s neat to see how you can see what kind of mental health is going on and experience what some people may be going through.
2. How do you perform the simulation?
3. I want to know how this will help people understand mental health issues?
1. This exciting because it help surgeons use the medical field with actual using real humans.
2. Maybe a picture or something could help me relate to what it would be like.
3. The evidence for the VR is really good.
1. This can increase the knowledge of medical students and also students who just have an interest in surgeries.
2. Pictures of a surgery room or someone operating
3. Statistics
My main criticism of this project is that it already exists. How are you building or evolving the apps that are currently available?
