Medical training simulations in VR
Clinicians and nurses practice procedures, emergencies and hard conversations in immersive, 3D interactive medical training simulations, as many times as it takes. Use ready-made healthcare simulations or build your own without code.
Find your starting point
Pick the path that matches what you need to do.
Train your clinicians
Communication, teamwork and infection control simulations, as used in the UCLA Health program.
Start with ready-made simulations
Browse 219 healthcare simulations in the Skillful catalog, from CPR with an AED to donning and doffing PPE.
Build your own scenarios
Author scenes, interactions and dialogue in HyperSkill without code, or have our Professional Services team build them.
Launch education across markets
For medical device makers: one core simulation, launched by each affiliate in its own market.
Test facility designs before you build
Clinicians walk through VR mockups of a healthcare facility, and machine learning analyzes their behavior.
Prepare for IT review
See which devices simulations run on, how they deploy, and what security documentation is available.
What clinicians practice
Each scenario is an immersive virtual simulation in a 3D clinical setting that learners can repeat until they get it right.
Procedures and safety protocols
Practice a procedure step by step and follow the safety protocol in a virtual setting, where a mistake carries no risk to a patient.
Emergency scenarios
Run high-acuity emergencies as many times as it takes, without risk to a real patient.
Infection control
Standardize infection prevention and pandemic preparedness training, the same approach used in UCLA Health’s C. diff program.
Team communication
Physicians, nurses, pharmacists and technicians practice speaking up for patient safety and coordinating as a team, the way they have to on the floor.
Difficult conversations
Rehearse conflict resolution and mental health conversations with patients and families before they happen for real.
Virtual patients
Interview a virtual patient, work toward a diagnosis and treatment plan, then talk the patient through it. See how virtual patients work.
Case studies
Two healthcare programs built on HyperSkill.
UCLA Health
Communication and team training for clinicians
Three immersive simulations with conversational AI
Set in a replica of a UCLA clinic
Thousands
of clinicians receive this mandatory training each year
Human factors
VR mockups for healthcare facility design
Clinicians walk through a digital mockup of a facility before it is built
Machine learning codes their behavior
Saves the time and cost of physical mockups, travel and manual analysis
Recorded simulations
Five healthcare simulations, recorded as learners see them.
UCLA Health, infectious disease training
C. diff procedural training
OSU College of Nursing, postpartum care
Patient history-taking
Interdisciplinary team training
For medical device makers
Medical education for device makers
Headquarters funds one core simulation, and each affiliate launches it in its own market. Healthcare professionals practice with your product in immersive training, at congress booths and in the field.
Choose a turnkey build by SimInsights, co-production with your experts, or no-code authoring in HyperSkill
Sessions run offline, are logged on the device and sync when it reconnects
See headsets across every market in one place, and push content updates to them
Capture gaze, object interaction, movement, decisions and speech data, depending on device and scenario
What your IT team will ask
Straight answers on devices, rollout and documentation, so a review does not stall a program.
Runs on devices you already have
Simulations run on Meta Quest and other VR headsets, Microsoft HoloLens, a web browser, Windows and Mac desktops, and iOS and Android devices. Learners do not need a headset.
Fits your learning system
UCLA Health delivers its mandatory clinician training through LMS integration, and learner performance is tracked in an analytics dashboard.
Documentation for your review
Security and accessibility documentation is available. Tell us what your security review requires and we will send what applies.
Bring medical training simulations to your hospital
Start with ready-made healthcare simulations, or build scenarios for your own hospital in HyperSkill without code. Tell us what your clinicians need to practice.
Common questions
What healthcare scenarios are included in the VR training simulations?
The Skillful catalog includes ready-made healthcare simulations for performing an ECG, CPR with an AED, donning and doffing PPE, taking blood pressure, chest X-rays and therapeutic communication. Browse the healthcare simulations, or build scenarios specific to your hospital.
Can we build medical training simulations without game developers?
Yes. HyperSkill is a no-code authoring tool. Your team builds scenes, interactions, step-by-step instructions and dialogue without writing code, and SimGenie can generate scenes and dialogue with AI. The UCLA Health simulations above were built in HyperSkill without code. See how HyperSkill works.
Can a whole care team train together?
Yes. HyperSkill supports multi-user training, so physicians, nurses and other staff work through the same scenario together in a shared virtual environment.
Do learners need a VR headset?
No. Simulations run on Meta Quest and other VR headsets, Microsoft HoloLens, a web browser, Windows and Mac desktops, and iOS and Android devices.
Can we track how each clinician performs?
Yes. Learner performance is tracked in an analytics dashboard. In the UCLA Health program, a feedback panel showed the ideal response, scored each learner’s response and measured their confidence.
What security documentation can we share with our IT team?
Security and accessibility documentation is available. Contact us with what your review requires and we will send what applies.
How much does clinical simulation training cost?
HyperSkill for Enterprise starts at $15 per user a month with a commercial service level, and HyperSkill for Education is free for teachers, with a whole campus from $250 a month. See pricing.
