Kaleidoscope XR

Kaleidoscope XR specializes in developing single and multi-user immersive solutions for training and education through the use of virtual reality, augmented reality and Artificial Intelligence technologies. To this effect, we have created Caregiver VR, a virtual reality platform that facilitates practical soft-skills and empathy training for front-line healthcare professionals. The platform, the first of its kind globally, enables live role-playing simulations between trainers and trainees acting as either caregiver or resident in front of a virtual classroom of students. As the ultimate instructor tool, the enhanced empathy training through virtual reality is not possible through any other method. Caregiver VR helps continuing care organizations, universities, and healthcare providers save time and money, scale practical training time, while improving care.

Testimonials


“Through the creation of Caregiver VR, Kaleidoscope XR helped build a tool for us that supports our operations by allowing our staff to get much needed practical soft-skills training and competencies without the need to travel and logistics of setting up in-person classroom sessions. This tool supports our long term needs by allowing our staff to have access to expertise which may not always be in-house.”
– Executive Leader, Bethany Care Society

“One of the biggest gaps in online education today are that students can be easily distracted and not fully engaged. Caregiver VR is a platform incorporated into IBT College’s digital strategy to ensure that our healthcare students are fully engage in learning and get the practical hands-on education they need to become confident and successfully enter their future opportunities in the healthcare sector.”
– James Rice, Vice President – IBT College

“This is really going to change the way that I interact with my clients who have dementia now. I am getting a grasp of what’s happening with them. I honestly think that if we didn’t have this (Caregiver VR) our patients that have dementia, they are never going to get to the full amount of care that they deserve. For being in the classroom, Caregiver VR is priceless, you can’t even put a number on it.”
– Nurse Educator – Saint Elizabeth Health Care

Caregiver VR

The number of individuals aged 65+ is projected to double from 703 million in 2019 to 1.5 billion globally by 2050. Coinciding with this growing and ageing population, there will be a substantial increase in ageing related illnesses such as dementia, other cognitive impairments and disabilities from strokes. In response to this expected growth, there will be an increasing demand for well-trained caregivers (formal and informal).

To address this Kaleidoscope XR has developed Caregiver VR, a digital platform which facilitates practical hands-on soft-skills and dementia empathy training for front-line healthcare professionals. The platform does this by enabling classroom and standardized patient simulations between educators and trainees (up to 20 per classroom) from any location globally through Virtual Reality and desktop computers. Trainees are able to role-play and collaborate as caregivers and residents and practice communication skills, learn to deal with difficult patient scenarios, and build empathy for patients by viewing the world from the perspective of those that have cognitive impairments and brain injury. Caregiver VR helps continuing care organizations, universities, and healthcare providers save time and money, scale practical training (through enabling remote training), while improving care.
