This national project set out with a bold vision: to revolutionize how healthcare emergencies are taught in vocational education. By integrating immersive technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Extended Reality (XR), students can practice lifesaving techniques—like CPR, airway obstruction management (OVACE), and critical incident response—inside highly realistic environments.
Developed in collaboration with MetaMedicsVR, the initiative doesn’t just modernize training—it equips future healthcare professionals with the confidence and readiness to act when every second counts.
Institutions and training centers that collaborate in practical and safe learning.
Traditional emergency training struggles to replicate the urgency, unpredictability, and emotional intensity of real-life situations. On top of that, schools face another challenge: fostering digital skills, promoting gender equality in healthcare careers, and improving employability with cutting-edge learning tools.
The core question was simple: How can we prepare students for the chaos of real emergencies without putting lives at risk?
The answer came through a complete ecosystem of customized clinical simulations in VR and XR. The project included pediatric, neonatal, and adult emergency cases, as well as multiplayer scenarios with live voice channels for collaborative training.
Teachers received specialized training, and all simulations were carefully adapted to real-world healthcare protocols. Students now train first-hand, review recordings of their actions, and receive automated performance reports that turn mistakes into valuable learning opportunities.
“This project represents a qualitative leap in healthcare education: more realism, more autonomy, and better preparation for real emergencies.”
