OR Ready helps surgical trainees practice procedures out loud before entering the OR. Speak through each step, get structured, safety-aware feedback, and advance through the 3D scene as you prove you know it. Learn the steps in Practice mode, then say them out loud in Test mode. No headset — just your browser.
Every procedure module has two ways in: Practice to learn the sequence, then Test to prove you can say it step by step.
Click through all 12 steps beside the 3D model and read what a full-marks answer sounds like at each one.
Speak each step in your own words. The rule engine checks action, instrument, target and safety, and the 3D scene only advances when you're right.
Push to talk and say what you'd do next, in your own words — the action, instrument, target, and safety check, like answering a viva.
Your answer is matched against the step's accepted action, instrument, target/position, and safety confirmation — by a rule engine, not a guessing AI.
Anything you missed is flagged clearly, so you know exactly what to correct before you move on.
Get it right and the procedure moves forward and your score builds toward 100 — only on accepted answers. Partial or unsafe responses hold it in place.
Videos, textbooks, and notes help trainees review procedures. But they don't prove the trainee can recall the next step, explain the relevant anatomy, or respond to a decision point under pressure.
In the OR, no one asks you to recognize a step from a video. You're expected to know what comes next, why it matters, and what can go wrong. OR Ready is built for the gap between passive review and real procedural readiness.
Speaking an answer forces retrieval, not recognition. That's what gets tested in an OR.
Runs in any modern browser. No app to install, no hardware to borrow.
A rule engine — not a generative AI — matches your words against known-correct concepts. Every decision is traceable.
The accepted terms, instrument names, and safety checks come directly from the operative rubric, not from general medical text.
Dangerous answers don't just lose points — they stop the procedure. The tool enforces the same priority an attending would.
OR Ready is designed around reusable procedure modules. Each module includes a click-through Practice walkthrough, voice-based Test mode, decision points, 3D anatomy stages, and structured scoring.
The first module — Distal Radius Volar Plate Fixation (12 steps) — is being tested with early users and clinician feedback.
Every procedure is built from the same parts: steps, decision points, 3D anatomy stages, and rubric-based scoring criteria.
The same structure supports new procedures, specialties, and training contexts as the library grows.
OR Ready isn't meant to replace teaching, supervision, or simulation. It's a preparation layer that helps trainees arrive sharper before those moments.
Rehearse the flow of a case before assisting, presenting, or scrubbing in — confirm your instruments, reduction technique, and safety checks.
Learn procedural sequence, anatomy, and decision points through active recall, not passive review.
Assign a structured rehearsal before a trainee scrubs in, and use the gaps it surfaces to focus your teaching.
I watched trainees walk into cases with a clear gap between what they'd read and what they could actually say, step by step, under pressure. The knowledge was there — the habit of retrieving it wasn't. That's the problem OR Ready is designed to fix: not more content, but a structured way to be tested on what you already know before the operation starts.
We're onboarding a small group of residents, medical students, surgeons, and surgical educators to test early procedure modules and share feedback. Tell us who you are and we'll send an invite code.
You're one of a handful of clinicians putting OR Ready through its paces before almost anyone else — and that time genuinely shapes what it becomes. As a thank-you for yours, there's a small token from my side.
And if rehearsing out loud helped you, it'll help the trainee beside you too. Share it with someone it'd serve — there's a token of thanks for both of you.
Check your welcome email. Next to your access code is a referral code that's yours to share — e.g. JANEREF01.
Pass it to up to 5 colleagues. When they request access, they enter your code as they sign up.
They run it, you both get a thank-you. Once a colleague completes a rehearsal and the full feedback form, there’s a token of thanks for you and for them.
The token's on me — I'll share the details personally over LinkedIn. Up to 5 colleagues per person.

No. OR Ready is an educational tool for procedural rehearsal. It is not regulated as a medical device and is not intended for clinical decision-making.
Not in the hardware-simulation sense. OR Ready is a lightweight rehearsal tool focused on procedural recall, instruments, positioning, and safety — preparation before the room, not a replacement for simulation labs.
No. It is built to support teaching, not replace it. The goal is to help trainees arrive more prepared for supervised clinical learning, simulation, and procedural discussion.
Each step has four buckets: action, instrument, target position, and safety confirmation. A rule engine — not a generative AI — checks your spoken answer against accepted terms from the OR rubric. Buckets matched earn points; unsafe answers zero the attempt.
Not to start. Practice mode needs no microphone. Use it anywhere to learn the steps, then switch to Test when you're ready to say them.
The pilot starts with one module — Distal Radius Volar Plate Fixation (12 steps) — but OR Ready is built as a procedure library. The same rehearsal structure supports more procedures over time.
Not yet. The pilot uses structured procedural rubrics built and refined with clinician input, and clinical validation is something we are actively working toward. It is not a credentialing tool, medical advice, or a substitute for clinical supervision.
This simulation is for educational rehearsal only. It does not replace formal surgical training, cadaveric practice, or proctored clinical experience. Always follow your institution's protocols and obtain appropriate supervision before performing surgical procedures.
Your feedback helps us improve the procedure modules, scoring, and rehearsal flow.
