Airway Management and Ventilation

Equip students with the skills needed for effective airway management and ventilatory support in critical patients through XR-powered simulations. Students will practice intubation, using bag-valve masks (BVM), inserting airway adjuncts, and managing oxygen levels in emergency respiratory situations.

Pediatric Nursing Care Simulation

The Pediatric Nursing Care Simulation module provides nursing students with virtual experiences to develop essential pediatric care skills. Students practice assessing health conditions, administering medications, and delivering age-appropriate care while interacting with children and collaborating with parents. The module also includes scenarios to handle pediatric emergencies and communication challenges.

Medical Device Design and Prototyping

Immerse students in the principles of medical device design, prototyping, and testing with a cutting-edge XR-powered simulation. Through virtual scenarios, learners can design devices such as prosthetics, implants, diagnostic tools, and wearables, create interactive 3D models, and simulate their functionality, durability, and compliance with regulatory standards.

Emergency Response and Critical Care Simulation

The Emergency Response and Critical Care Simulation module trains nursing students to effectively respond to medical emergencies and provide critical care in high- pressure situations. Through realistic virtual scenarios, students gain hands-on experience in managing critical incidents, ensuring quick and accurate clinical decision- making while adhering to essential emergency protocols.
