ExR is a pioneering London-based startup reimagining how medical professionals learn and train by harnessing the power of immersive virtual reality (VR). At the heart of ExR is a cloud-based education platform that delivers 360° videos and fully interactive VR simulations, enabling users to practice clinical procedures, assemble medical equipment, and strengthen critical decision-making skills—all within a safe, repeatable environment.
Founded by an innovative trio—a surgeon, a games artist, and a filmmaker—ExR brings together diverse expertise to create high-impact educational content. The company works closely with NHS Trusts, academic institutions, and MedTech organisations to co-design realistic, clinically-accurate training modules that reflect the complexities of real-world healthcare.
Accessibility is a core value for ExR. The platform is available on both web browsers and VR headsets, ensuring that users can engage with the training regardless of their technical setup. Moreover, ExR offers free access to NHS staff and medical students, democratising access to advanced training tools and promoting equity across healthcare education.
By merging medical precision with the storytelling and interactivity of gaming and film, ExR has created a powerful learning environment that fosters confidence, competence, and clinical safety. The platform is already being used to reduce training gaps, improve surgical preparation, and support continuous professional development in dynamic, engaging ways.
ExR’s vision is to accelerate learning, improve patient outcomes, and fundamentally transform how medical education is delivered—both in the UK and globally.
