Built on research.
Designed for scale.
Operio is a mission-driven platform making high-quality procedural training accessible, scalable, and self-directed, grounded in rigorous research at Queen's University.
Make procedural training efficient and driven by real feedback.
Make procedural training efficient, accessible, and driven by real feedback. Remove the instructor bottleneck without sacrificing quality, so every learner builds genuine competency through practice that actually improves their technique.
Grounded in research. Built for the real world.
Grounded in rigorous research at Queen's University, built for real-world adoption. Every design decision traces back to learner outcomes and evidence, not assumptions.
Why This Moment
XR Hardware Maturity
Extended Reality (VR, AR, MR) hardware is now accessible and cost-effective, removing the barriers that blocked earlier adoption.
AI Advances
Real-time feedback, adaptive learning, and personalized AI coaching are now technically feasible at scale.
Training Crisis
Shortage of expert instructors means procedural skills training is a critical bottleneck in medical education today.
Market Shift
Educational institutions are actively seeking scalable, cost-effective training solutions that don't compromise quality.

Validated. Rigorous. Ready for Scale.
Academic Rigor
Every claim backed by Phase 1 and Phase 2 validation studies at Queen's University. We don't ship until the science supports it.
Commercial Reality
Built with the end goal of bringing transformative training tools to medical schools, hospitals, and simulation centers worldwide.
Learner-First
Our platform is designed around what actually improves procedural competency, not what's easiest to build or most impressive to demo.
Developed at the Chung Lab, Faculty of Health Sciences, Queen's University, currently in rigorous validation phase with plans for commercialization and market adoption.
