Level Ex has a rich index of video games for doctors. Through the art of gamification, the company is hoping to help those in training to overcome "the challenges of practicing medicine" by bringing together the concept of entertainment and the healthcare industry. While a lot of VR technology has been utilized in order to keep the patient distracted during procedures, Level Ex's video games for doctors tap a new category.
For example, the Cardio EX, allows cardiologists "to experience dozens of adrenaline-pumping scenarios" by drilling through calcified lesions, treating life-threatening perforations, and so on. Pulm EX (for pulmonologists), on the other hand, simulates virtual patients presenting with obstructive airway diseases. The collection also features a diagnosis and treatment game that allows doctors to "flex [their] deductive reasoning skills" and "weigh treatment options to maximize patient health."
