What You Should Know:
- GigXR, Inc., a global provider of extended reality (XR) solutions for healthcare training, and CAE Healthcare announced today their partnership to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical simulation.
- The collaboration between GigXR and CAE Healthcare streamlines the ability to implement and manage multimodal simulation for medical schools, nursing schools, hospital systems, first responders, and government – spanning analog, immersive and digital modalities that can be used to create full curricula.
Seamlessly Integrating Immersive Learning and Advanced Simulation Technologies
As healthcare faces staffing shortages, the collaboration between GigXR and CAE Healthcare combines immersive learning applications and a robust training infrastructure. This partnership enhances learning effectiveness and increases capacity for improved care. The integrated product offerings allow holistic analysis across simulation modalities, providing actionable insights for individual learners or consistent analysis of learner cohorts by healthcare institutions.
To highlight the collaboration’s potential, GigXR will showcase its award-winning mixed reality applications at IMSH 2024. These applications include HoloPatient for realistic clinical simulations of various pathologies, Insight Enterprise Series for 3D organ models, DICOM XR Library for hyper-realistic 3D models from medical scans, and HoloScenarios for full clinical simulations covering different medical scenarios. Additionally, HoloHuman offers a comprehensive hologram of the entire human anatomy.
GigXR will also demonstrate freeform dialogue with AI-powered, on-demand standardized patients, embedded into the platform’s standard development kit (SDK) and utilizing Snap’s Camera Kit technology.
“We see the future of simulation as multimodal, encompassing physical, digital, virtual and immersive products that leverage emerging technologies like Generative AI to provide comprehensive solutions for learning efficiency,” said Jeff Evans, President of CAE Healthcare. “As we work to implement this vision we are balancing investments in CAE Healthcare products while also looking at best of breed players in the market that we should partner with to accelerate this transition. By partnering with GigXR, we are enabling a core part of this vision through “simulation everywhere” to make training and education more accessible and efficient to ultimately improve learning and patient safety.”
