VirtualU

Virtual Reality online training platform for healthcare simulation

Problem

Simulation training is costly, location-dependent, and has limited scope.
Training one doctor in emergency protocols requires scheduling 5 doctors or nurses off shifts and clearing hospital wards.
The current model imposes significant logistical and financial challenges.

Solution

VirtualU provides students with exposure to complex and challenging professional situations.
It uses 360° video recordings, training modules, and a dashboard to track student progress.
The platform enhances learning by simulating real-world scenarios and monitoring development.

Outcome

VirtualU was developed in collaboration with Swinburne University, Holmesglen, and the Royal Children's Hospital.
It ensures 100% active participation in simulation training.
The platform reduces simulation training costs by 70-85% per active student.
