ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring the use of virtual reality (VR) technology to create a training platform for lung surgery. The goal is to help surgeons practice and rehearse complex procedures in a safe, simulated environment before performing the actual surgery. This innovation aims to enhance the safety and effectiveness of difficult surgeries, making them smoother for both patients and doctors.

To participate in the trial, you must be between the ages of 65 and 74 and have a high-resolution CT scan that can be used to create the VR simulation. The trial is currently recruiting participants, and your doctor will help determine if you are a suitable candidate. If you join, you can expect to engage with advanced VR technology that will allow surgeons to practice and prepare for real-life surgeries, ultimately aiming to improve patient outcomes.
