Deputy managing director of Labaid Sakif Shamim has officially inaugurated VirtuED, medical anatomy learning app, says a press release.
This launch marks the formal journey of VirtucareBD, an initiative dedicated to overcoming the long-standing limitations of the healthcare sector in Bangladesh by establishing a modern, technology-driven, and smart health system.
The platform aims to integrate world-class technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) directly into mainstream medicine.
Additionally, VirtucareBD has introduced surgical simulation and virtual hospital concepts to make medical education and services more realistic and accessible.
VirtucareBD functions as a high-tech ecosystem that creates a bridge between traditional medical methods and modern science. Its methodology is not limited to theoretical education but provides support at every level of clinical practice. Through AR technology, doctors can now observe a patient’s complex internal structures in 3D before performing surgery.
This serves as a digital map for surgeons, reducing the possibility of errors and ensuring patient safety. Furthermore, VR creates an artificial environment where young physicians can practice complex medical procedures repeatedly without any risk.
As a result, the quality of patient care in hospitals increases significantly, and doctors can work with greater confidence.
The flagship component of this ecosystem, VirtuED, is Asia’s first immersive digital anatomy learning platform.
Through this app, medical students have the opportunity to learn complex human anatomy using AR, VR, and 3D visualisation.
VirtuED moves medical education beyond the limitations of textbooks to create an interactive and future-oriented learning experience.
During the inauguration, Sakif Shamim, the managing director of VirtucareBD and deputy managing director of Labaid, stated that this is not just a single technology initiative. Instead, it is a well-planned effort to establish scientific standards in the health sector by unifying global medical data, modern research, and future-ready technology. He further mentioned that the core philosophy and goal of VirtucareBD are to improve the quality of medical education, increase physician skills, and ensure patient safety through data-driven decisions, immersive simulation, and remote assistance.
The event was attended by renowned physicians from various Labaid Group institutions as well as prominent experts from leading hospitals across the country.
