Virtual training for medical professionals

Virtual training helps medical professionals familiarize themselves with new equipment. These courses are especially beneficial when numerous people need to gain the corresponding skills, or when the devices are large and expensive—and are therefore not readily available for training purposes. The Machine@Hand training tool offers highly realistic 3D models of ultrasound, X-ray, MRI, CT, and any other equipment, allowing physicians and nurses to experience how these systems are operated. Instructors can create the training modules themselves without the need for programming skills and can modify content or add tailor-made information or guidance. The trainee can then learn independently and from anywhere by means of a VR headset. As a result, training can continue to take place even when in-person group and practice sessions are not possible—for example, during the coronavirus pandemic. It is also possible for the virtual training modules to be attended by multiple people simultaneously, enabling them to practice teamwork.
