hospital sterile processing department education, training, & productivity simplified with mixed reality!

Equip your technicians with cutting edge "VR based" technology loaded with knowledge and resources to build confidence and increase efficiency in any Hospital Sterile Processing Department (SPD). NOTE: STEAMVision® is currently in the Prototype stage of development

Patent Pending

Empower YOUR STAFF

Research indicates these type of infections, along with other costly errors can be significantly reduced through consistent training. Unfortunately, many hospitals often struggle with:

the problem

Everyday, Hospital Sterile Processing Departments (SPDs), handle thousands of reusable surgical instruments, equipment and devices. Improper cleaning of these critical items increase the risk for Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) and Surgical Site Iinfections (SSIs) which cost healthcare systems billions annually.

These issues result in delays, errors, and the overall quality of instrument sets; all of which can greatly impact patient safety and quality of care.

The Solution

STEAMVision® – The Ultimate Mixed Reality Tool for SPD Professionals

STEAMVision® is a novel concept utilizing Mixed Reality via the Microsoft Hololens 2 headset to enhance the day to day activities of the Sterile Processing Professional.

STEAMVision® KEY FEATURES

STEAMVision® – The Ultimate Mixed Reality
Tool for SPD Professionals

Universal Barcode
Reading Capability

Designed to function with any existing SPD tracking/inventory management system. This will greatly improve work efficiency as the need to leave a workstation to obtain critical information at a host computer will be minimized.

Real Time Asset
Tracking

By working in tandem with the universal barcode reader feature, a user will be able to track any department asset with real time information provided within their field of view via voice command navigation.

3D Surgical Instrument Visualization

Surgical instrumentation will be detectable in 3D. Technicians will be able to properly identify and inspect with guidance on how to look for problem areas, how to test for sharpness, and even how to check for proper cleanliness prior to sending for final sterilization.

On Demand Training / Education Modules

On demand training and education modules will be created to provide technicians with a consistent, interactive resource to obtain and/or maintain required certifications and improve competence regardless of current skillset.

In September 2022, parent company Sterile Geeks VR was awarded a prestigious SBIR Phase I grant of nearly $255,000 from the National Science Foundation to continue research and development of the STEAMVision® concept to introduce to the healthcare industry.

We are proud to annouce that Sterile geeks vr has been selected to present an educational poster at the 2024 Healthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA) annual conference in Las Vegas, Nevada April 20-23
