Endo today announced the launch of a Spatial Computing Injection Simulator for Peyronie's disease. The simulator allows urology specialists to interact simultaneously with both physical and digital objects—blending a physical penile model and digital content via an Apple Vision Pro app—to help refine their injection technique. Endo will launch the experience at the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting, the largest gathering of urologists in the world, which takes place April 26-29, 2025.
"We know that healthcare providers value hands-on approaches to learning, and technology like the Spatial Computing Injection Simulator can make a huge difference for the surgeons and advanced practice providers who treat Peyronie's disease," said Justin Mattice, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Branded Specialty at Endo. "With a mix of tactical practice, videos of real procedures, and the inclusion of practical information, the simulator is an example of innovation that can enhance patient care."
The Spatial Computing Injection Simulator was designed to help urology specialists refine their injection technique in the penis for the administration of XIAFLEX (collagenase clostridium histolyticum), the only FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment for Peyronie's disease.
Do not receive XIAFLEX if you have had an allergic reaction to collagenase clostridium histolyticum or any of the ingredients in XIAFLEX, or to any other collagenase product.
During the immersive, 20-minute Spatial Computing Injection Simulator experience, urology specialists receive hands-on practice on product reconstitution and injection angles, watch procedures in action, practice their injection technique on the penile model, and acquire information on the post-injection process. This can help them refine their technique for the treatment of real patients with XIAFLEX, which represents an important treatment option to help appropriate patients.1
This is the second time Endo has used the power of spatial computing (also called "mixed reality") to create an immersive learning environment for healthcare providers. The first was developed for hand specialists who treat patients with Dupuytren's contracture.
Endo worked with technology agency Lucid Dream to create the Apple Vision Pro app and spatial computing experience.
