MULTI-PLATFORM IMMERSIVE MEDICAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING

“The problem with most offerings in online and CD-ROM healthcare learning products is that either the underlying biology or the 3D interface is addressed, but not both. As a result, students and healthcare professionals have had to contend with mathematical models with awkward interfaces or slick veneers having little substance behind them. Virtual Heroes combines the best of the physiology modeling community with the latest generation virtual reality interface. Not only is the underlying biology true to life, but the fidelity of the 3D interface creates an illusion of reality. As a result, learners interact in a highly immersive environment and experience realistic results based on their decisions and interactions.”

Bryan Bergeron, MD and Assistant Professor, Harvard Medical School.

UNREAL TECHNOLOGY

HumanSim™ will soon enable health care professionals to sharpen their assessment and decision-making skills without risk to patients in realistic, challenging, immersive environments that are instrumented to provide meaningful performance feedback.

HumanSim provides training-to-proficiency in rare, complicated or otherwise error-prone tasks.

Target users include:

  • Physicians and nurses
  • Emergency medical personnel
  • Clinical students/residents
  • Emergency services organizations
  • Healthcare education institutions

The HumanSim™ platform supports healthcare training and education missions by providing real-time, online multiplayer environments running on the world-class Epic Unreal ® game engine.  Students or trainees join internet or local-area-network-based team exercises and play through complex training and educational scenarios.   These online games support initial, refresher, and sustainment medical education and training by bringing potentially widely distributed players together online in a common virtual environment in real-time, with voice and text chat capabilities.

HumanSim Platform

HumanSim features address the following healthcare education and training needs:

  • Initial patient assessment (quality)
  • Measurement of clinical competence
  • Cognitive and clinical performance under stress
  • Immediate feedback using digital afteraction- review (AAR) system
  • Statistics tracking system linked through AAR to Learning Management System (LMS)
  • Team Training and Cross Training (e.g. pediatric and adult care staff)
  • Practice of new or complicated skills or technologies without endangering patient health or safety
  • Dynamic Virtual Human Technology™ using embedded physiologicpharmacologic model provides real-time, patient state transitions based on user inputs.
  • Learning modules include defined learning objectives and instructor notes for self paced individual instruction or team training.
  • Delivery platform includes notebook PC and game consoles. Content is webdownloadable.
