MediSim VR has publicised Chennai’s ‘first’ immersive and interactive VR-training lab at Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research (SRIHER).
The virtual reality technology has already benefitted more than 4,000 students, enabling what the healthcare simulation training solutions provider MediSim VR describes as “unparalleled access to immersive, hands-on medical training”.
It offers students realistic medical scenario simulations within a safe environment to help boost procedural competency, skills, and confidence.
Dr. K. Balaji Singh, Dean at SRIHER, commented on its partnership with MediSim VR: “We’re passionate about giving our students the best medical education possible.”
“Our partnership with MediSim VR blends advanced technology and traditional teaching methods to bridge the gap between classroom theory and clinical practice.”
MediSim VR utilises VR to help prepare students for real-world situations and effectively bridge theoretical knowledge with practical abilities.
According to MediSim VR, the medical centre SRIHER is ‘redefining’ medical education and “empowering students from across the state and country” by introducing this VR technology.
MediSim VR brings its patented technology to meet the needs of healthcare training providers around the world.
The healthcare simulation company’s AI-powered virtual training environments and competency assessment tools can reportedly enhance the performances of medical students, nursing students, and healthcare professionals.
MediSim explains on its website that there are two major uses of its VR for healthcare technology.
First, it can offer students valuable experience with “limitless learning” so that students can hone their skills without requiring continued supervision from instructors and other medical professionals.
Second, VR can be instrumental in assessing student capabilities via an AI-powered feedback system. The platform can also provide a space for students to communicate and learn alongside members globally within the same virtual space.
In July last year, MediSim, partnered with Krupanidhi College of Nursing for clinical upskilling using virtual reality.
Similarly to its implementation of VR training technology at SRIHER, the objective of this partnership was to improve clinical skills and integrate VR in nursing and strategic development to bring nursing education up to date with healthcare advancements.
Dr. Adith Chinnaswami, Co-founder of MediSim VR, spoke about the importance of the Center of Excellence for medical students: “We aim to redefine medical education and empower the next generation of healthcare professionals.
“The facility unlocks exciting learning opportunities not only for students from within SRIHER but also from all over the country.
