VR Simulation

Rehearse a mass-casualty response before the disaster is real.

Developed with the University of Barcelona, MetaMedicsVR's disaster-response simulation drops students into a large-scale emergency — a flood with multiple casualties — where they apply the START triage protocol, prioritise with limited resources, and coordinate the team under real time pressure.

What makes it different

  1. START triage under pressure

    Students sort multiple casualties by severity using the START protocol — assessing, tagging, and re-evaluating as the scene changes, exactly as a real mass-casualty incident demands.

  2. A full incident, not a single patient

    Instead of one casualty, students face many at once — different injuries, different severities, limited resources. The simulation recreates the complexity and chaos of a real event.

  3. Decisions with consequences

    Every prioritisation choice plays out. Spend too long on one casualty and others deteriorate — students feel the weight of triage decisions in a safe environment.

  4. Built on a real protocol

    Scenarios are grounded in recognised disaster-response and triage protocols, developed with the University of Barcelona around real flooding emergencies.

How a session runs

Every session follows the same loop — size up, triage, prioritise, review.

From the first read of the scene to the debrief, students run the full mass-casualty response as many times as they need.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Size up the scene

    The student arrives at the incident, takes in the scale of it, and begins to identify how many casualties there are and how severe.

  2. 02

    Triage

    Apply START

    Moving casualty to casualty, the student applies the START protocol — checking breathing, perfusion, and mental status to assign a priority to each.

  3. 03

    Prioritise

    Allocate limited resources

    With more casualties than hands, the student decides who is treated first and how the team is deployed — the core judgement of mass-casualty care.

  4. 04

    Debrief

    Review the response

    Every decision is recorded. Student and instructor review the triage calls, timing, and coordination against the protocol — no guesswork.

What it covers

  1. START triage protocol

    Sorting multiple casualties by severity — breathing, perfusion, and mental status — and re-triaging as conditions change. The backbone of any mass-casualty response.

  2. Mass-casualty prioritisation

    Deciding who is treated first when resources are limited and casualties outnumber responders — the hardest and most consequential calls in disaster medicine.

  3. Flood & disaster scenarios

    A large-scale flood with multiple casualties at different severity levels, developed with the University of Barcelona to reflect real flooding emergencies. It replicates the complexity and chaos of a real mass-casualty event.
