Use of Virtual Reality for Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Simulation
SimX was successfully applied to two different types of cases, simulating realistic clinical scenarios in a pediatric CICU. This is the first described use of VR in pediatric cardiac critical care simulation.
VR Simulation in a Health Assessment Laboratory Course
Satisfaction and self-confidence scores were strongly correlated. VRS experiences of fidelity, communication confidence and competence, learning with peers, integrated learning and critical thinking, and a safe space to learn were related to students’ satisfaction and self-confidence.
[User Spotlight] Mashpee Middle-High
The students of Mashpee Middle-High School love SimX because it meets students where they are. They’ve found that immersive, hands-on experiences are more engaging than traditional classroom lessons.
An Innovative Community Health Nursing’s Virtual Reality Experience
Participants strongly agreed that the VR simulation was effective, and reported on new knowledge/skills learned, material found most helpful, and benefit to their nursing practice.
[User Spotlight] VR Latem
Institutions across Central America are using SimX right now to build essential critical thinking skills and successfully execute different procedures in a safe environment.
The Development and Pilot Testing of VR Simulation for Prelicensure Nursing Students
Performance scores for the immersive VR training group were significantly higher for total performance compared to the hospital-based training group. These preliminary results offer promise and demonstrate the potential of VR in the future of nursing education.
Financial Sustainability of VR for Nursing Education
VR simulation education requires 22% less time than high-fidelity simulation, and the cost associated with VR was found to be 40% less expensive than high-fidelity simulation education.
[User Spotlight] Womack Army Medical Center
SimX helps the trainees at Womack Army Medical Center become familiar with procedures before they ever face any real casualties. SimX is creating better-prepared, more confident, and more effective lifesavers in the heat of combat!
VR versus screen-based virtual simulation
Immersive VR simulation leads to significantly higher student satisfaction and self-confidence scores.
VR simulation to enhance advanced trauma life support trainings
This study found that VR trauma simulations are a feasible and acceptable supplementary tool for the ATLS training course. The authors found improved confidence post-VR intervention in providing emergency care using the ATLS principles.
[User Spotlight] Aviano Air Base
Trainees of the 31st Medical Group (MDG) at the Aviano Air Base reported feeling more confident about completing the MARCH/PAWS algorithm after using SimX, even with minimal exposure to VR before using the headsets.
