What the company did
Sterile Geeks VR is a veteran-owned medtech company founded in 2018 in Jacksonville, Florida, by Scotty Jones, a surgical-industry veteran. It develops mixed-reality (Microsoft HoloLens 2) and SaaS training, workflow and productivity solutions for hospital sterile-processing departments — the staff who disinfect and sterilize every surgical instrument. Its flagship concept, STEAMVision, delivers immersive real-time training and compliance content, and was backed by a nearly $255,000 National Science Foundation SBIR Phase I grant.
