Surgical Science Launches Aeris, Transforming Anybody or Surface into an Interactive Ultrasound Simulator

Surgical Science, the worldwide leader in simulation products for medical care training, has launched Aeris, a unique technology allowing point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training anywhere, on any person, manikin, or surface without hardware attachment, tags, optical tracking, or built-in tools. 

"POCUS is used in nearly every specialty in medicine, but training quality has not kept pace," said Tom Englund, CEO of Surgical Science. "Using Aeris, any room becomes a training room, and any body becomes a patient with real clinical scenarios, no tags, cameras, or headsets required. This isn't the next version of ultrasound training. It's the first simulation product to deliver freely moving, full-body ultrasound simulation on any surface."

Aeris was built to meet a significant training gap as the sector grows.

What changes with Aeris:

• Aeris allows full freedom of probe movement in the chest, abdomen, and pelvis with a single correction step.
• Aeris functions anywhere; learning isn't limited to a lab or a classroom.
• Aeris lets instructors simulate particular conditions or pathologies while learners construe in real time.
• Programs are no longer restricted to a single manikin or to practicing on peers with general anatomy.
• The service is a fraction of the expense of a high-fidelity manikin, enabling programs to equip major sites.

Aeris launches with pathology-driven training in the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Plans include increasing across OBGYN, neonatal, pediatric, and interventional requests.

Surgical Science will accept orders from US consumers in Q4 2026, with initial shipments planned for later in the quarter. Aeris is intended to make high-fidelity ultrasound simulation more accessible, significantly reducing the cost of adoption as compared to traditional high-fidelity simulator platforms.

According to Towards Healthcare, the AI-based surgical robots market is projected to grow significantly, with estimates indicating the market size will increase from USD 12.91 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 61.49 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 18.94% from 2026 to 2035. AI modeling is enabling physicians to have well-developed intraoperative metrics like force and tactile measurements, improved identification of positive healthcare margins, and also allowing for the complete automation of significant steps in healthcare procedures.
