IKEIKEN Labs
We're a student startup tackling accessibility and efficiency in endoscopy training.
Mission
Master Endoscopy, Anytime, Anywhere.
We're building MyEndoscope, an endoscopy training simulator combining a VR simulation app with a dedicated controller. By giving physicians who are honing their endoscopic skill the ability to practice anytime, anywhere, we aim to raise physician skill, improve patient safety, and close the training gap across global healthcare systems.
