Multi-user Virtual Reality Simulation to Train Healthcare Professionals for In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Care

November 10th

Overview:

This novel VR simulation places a team of four participants in an in-hospital rapid-response style scenario wherein they arrive at the side of a critically ill patient, receive a care report from a bedside nurse, and must collaboratively provide life-saving care during a ~15-minute medical scenario (see short Demo Video. This project, funded by the National Science Foundation (#2202451), aims to develop and evaluate a novel debriefing system that provides data-informed feedback focused on improving team-based care for patients who suffer sudden medical emergencies.

During the study, participants will:

  • Wear a VR headset and perform two mock codes with a post-simulation debrief

  • Provide basic demographic information (e.g., age, clinical experience).

  • Duration: ~120 minutes
  • Location: Taubman Health Sciences Library, 3rd Floor, Center for Experiential Learning and Assessment (CELA), Blue Lab.
