UbiSim

UbiSim is a virtual reality training platform specifically designed for nursing education. According to the vendor, it provides immersive and interactive simulations that aim to help nursing students develop clinical reasoning, decision-making, and communication skills. UbiSim is designed to cater to academic institutions and healthcare systems of all sizes, including universities, colleges, nursing schools, and simulation centers.

Key Features

Virtual Simulation Lab: UbiSim offers a virtual simulation lab for nursing education. Students are immersed in lifelike patient scenarios, which the vendor says can aid in the development of clinical reasoning, decision-making, and communication skills. The platform provides pre-built clinical scenarios that can be customized to fit specific educational needs.

Effective Training: The virtual reality simulations provided by UbiSim are claimed to offer a high level of perceptual fidelity, allowing learners to fully immerse themselves in practical training. According to the vendor, learners have the opportunity to develop new skills faster through hands-on learning. The platform utilizes a powerful physiological model for virtual patients, aiming to ensure a standardized experience for all learners.

Resource Saving: UbiSim is said to allow for increased throughput and access to simulation by enabling complex clinical situations to be started in seconds with minimal faculty resources. The platform eliminates the need for physical setup and turnaround time between scenarios, thereby reducing staff burden. According to the vendor, virtual simulations can be completed anywhere, requiring only a small clear space and a VR headset.

Engaging and Repeatable: UbiSim aims to provide a highly immersive VR experience to engage learners and better prepare them. The platform allows for repetition, enabling students to practice scenarios until mastery is achieved. According to the vendor, students actively participate in simulations, fostering the development of critical thinking skills.

Customizable Scenarios: UbiSim offers a wide range of pre-built scenarios that are fully customizable. Using the UbiSim Editor, nursing educators can modify parameters in scenarios or create their own from scratch. The platform provides a powerful authoring tool that guides educators in designing immersive virtual reality simulations.

Wireless and Intuitive: UbiSim runs on wireless VR headsets, providing an interactive and intuitive experience. Learners use intuitive hand gestures for a lifelike and immersive training experience. According to the vendor, the platform focuses on comfort and realism to enhance the effectiveness of learning.

Multiplayer Functionality: UbiSim supports multiplayer functionality, allowing students to collaborate in teams to treat virtual patients. The vendor claims that learners can work together in the same virtual scenario, promoting teamwork and communication skills.
