Testimonials

“We found that VR based training was superior to video based training in enhancing performance in a simulated fire scenario. Those who underwent VR training recognized the issue more quickly and were more likely to appropriately douse the flame and protect the patient when compared to those who had video-based training.”
– Daniel Katz MD, Director of Education Mount Sinai HELPS Center

“Our public health system is proud to be a leader in virtual reality simulations that ensure our providers have the life-saving skills necessary during these situations. Being able to provide convenient, easily accessible, on-site, and realistic simulations is imperative when you want to both provide these important skills-building opportunities without disrupting any patient care. ‍Being able to offer a diverse suite of high-tech simulations that not only realistically portray the medical scenario, but also reflects what our workforce and patients look like is an important part of training our staff to provide the highest quality, expert care no matter the situation the arises in the delivery room.”
– Wendy Wilcox, MD, MPH, MBA, FACOG, Chief Women’s Health Services Officer, NYC Health + Hospitals

Top Product Offerings

ACLS Virtual Reality

ACLS Virtual Reality (VR) simulation can be used as a pre-learning application before physical simulation or to validate and refresh competencies requisite to identifying and managing patient’s exhibiting the ACLS core rhythms in stable and unstable conditions. Our VR simulation was designed in accordance with the ILCOR Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR) and nationally recognized resuscitation council guidelines and reinforce team dynamics.

Learning Objectives:

Non-Cardiac Arrest: Learners must identify and manage a patient experiencing stable and unstable rhythms including:

  • Bradyarrhythmias
  • AV Blocks
  • Narrow and Wide Complex
  • Tachyarrhythmias

Cardiac Arrest: Learner must demonstrate situational awareness and manage a patient experiencing the following rhythms:

  • Ventricular Fibrillation
  • Ventricular Tachycardia
  • Pulseless Ventricular Tachycardia
  • Agonal/ Asystole
Fire in the Operating Room Virtual Reality

Based on an actual patient scenario, Fire in the Operating Room (OR) is a Virtual Reality (VR) course designed to simulate critical learning principles related to surgical fires. Fire in the OR teaches how to prepare and respond to a potentially devastating adverse patient safety event.

Learning Objectives:

  • Review the fire triad (Ignition Sources, Oxidizers, Fuel Sources)
  • Identify patients at risk for surgical fire
  • Safely practice key skills for responding to fires
  • Understand the root causes of operating room fires

Fire in the OR consists of three course modules:

  1. Tutorial: The tutorial teaches learners to interact in VR and provides opportunity to practice skills required to interact with the environment
  2. Fire Triad: The fire triad is a core concept in understanding and preventing operating room fires. Learners explore the room and identify the elements of the fire triad. A detailed, interactive debriefing is provided to reinforce the concepts
  3. Patient Fire: Learners will practice the skills needed to manage and extinguish a patient fire including proper methods to extinguish the fire and how to correctly remove drapes after reviewing the actual patient case, learners will debrief about the root causes of the fire to understand how this fire could have been prevented
Malignant Hyperthermia Virtual Reality

Perioperative and emergency room clinicians need to be able to identify and manage a patient experiencing malignant hyperthermia. Co-Developed with the Malignant Hyperthermia Association of the United States (MHAUS) and the Association of periOperative Register Nurses (AORN), Health Scholars VR simulation enables learners to practice the management of malignant hyperthermia in a risk-free environment.

Learning Objectives:

  • Demonstrate recognition of early signs and symptoms of MH
  • Identify and discontinue MH triggering agent
  • Provide or ensure prompt airway and ventilatory management
  • Demonstrate call for help, MH cart, code cart, and use of MH checklist
  • Demonstrate effective leadership & teamwork communication skills
  • Dilute and administer the first does of dantrolene within 10 minutes of decision to treat
  • Discern the total dose of dantrolene

The Malignant Hyperthermia VR simulation can be completed in as little as 15 minutes. Learners are reinforcing critical MH identification and management skills in a highly immersive environment, while saving time and resources.

Obstetric Hemorrhage Virtual Reality

Clinicians in Obstetrics need to be able to identify and manage a patient experiencing an obstetric hemorrhage. Co-developed with NYCH+H, this simulation allows learners to practice identifying and managing the 3 stages of an obstetric hemorrhage and can be configured to your institution’s policies and procedures (within ACOG and CMQCC’s practice guidelines), in a riskfree environment.

Learning Objectives:

  • Demonstrate effective communication with a patient and their family
  • Demonstrate effective teamwork and communication
  • Demonstrate timely and accurate interventions
  • Obstetric Hemorrhage takes as little as 18 minutes to complete
  • Your obstetric clinicians and providers are learning critical obstetric hemorrhage
    skills in a highly immersive environment, while you save time and resources
Stroke Virtual Reality

Apply critical thinking skills and practice an immersive hands-on NIH Stroke Scale Assessment while observing the patients signs and symptoms. With Health Scholars Stroke Assessment VR training application, learners are presented with a patient who has had a change in their mental status. They must evaluate the patient and score them using the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Stroke Scale. Learners will become familiar with the NIH scoring system as they assess the patient and make the determination if a Stroke Alert should be called.

Learning Objectives:

  • Apply critical thinking and reasoning skills for patients with an altered mental status
  • Recognize subtle patient assessment changes that indicate the signs and symptoms of stroke
  • Practice hands on implementation of the NIH Stroke Scale Assessments
  • Demonstrate the scoring for each step of the NIH Stroke Scale
