Bioflight VR

Bioflight VR develops virtual, augmented and mixed reality software for healthcare training, clinical education and patient support. Founded in 2015, the studio applies experience in computer animation and medical visualization to interactive experiences for clinicians, medical students, patients and caregivers. Its work spans procedural instruction, emergency simulation, anatomical visualization and education for managing medical care at home.

The company’s creative foundations lie in Hollywood visual effects and forensic animation. It adapted those production skills to healthcare applications, combining detailed digital imagery with scenarios designed around clinical procedures and learning needs. Its development capabilities include mobile applications, head-mounted display experiences and rendering patient MRI and CT data into three-dimensional visualizations.

Clinical training and caregiver education

CareXR, developed with Children’s Hospital of Orange County, focuses on preparing parents and caregivers for pediatric care after discharge. Its interactive mobile and XR modules address medical devices and procedures involving gastrostomy tubes, tracheostomies and central lines. This work extends the studio’s simulation approach beyond professional training into practical education for families.

Bioflight VR has also developed pediatric emergency simulations with Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, AiSolve and Oculus VR for Good. These projects include trauma resuscitation and status epilepticus scenarios. Its collaboration with Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine has included a Surgical Skills Trainer for shoulder surgery and Medicaid equity simulations addressing poverty, compassion and empathy.

Development focus

The studio provides custom medical software development, procedural learning applications and integration with healthcare curricula and residency training. Its subject areas include surgical skills, clinical nursing, pediatric medicine and cultural competence, with applications serving hospitals, academic medical centers and medical education providers.

After beginning operations in Southern California, Bioflight VR moved its operational center to Northeast Ohio and later expanded development activity into Louisiana. Its medical technologies are presented through the Immersus and CareXR platforms.
