    Mimyk, presented by Shanthanu Chakravarthy, is a spin-off from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore. They are incubated at the Society for Innovation and Development (SID), IISc. They work on developing immersive medical simulations for training healthcare practitioners. Their technology enables training healthcare professionals through the use of advanced simulation technology. They combine haptics, design, Virtual Reality (VR), and internet based content delivery model for providing engaging interactive medical simulations.
    Virtual Reality (VR) together with haptics offers an immersive, flexible, and cost-effective method for training doctors in endoscopy procedures. The current focus at Mimyk is an affordable and immersive endoscopy training device. Their team has research and design background and we associate with IISc research labs from where the core technology was conceived. To support their work they have raised government grants that support the idea to proof of concept development.
