Helios VR-Training for Nurses

VR Healthcare Training

At 37 training centers of the Helios Hospitals Group, nursing professionals immerse themselves in a lifelike patient room in which they can move around freely.

Tracking built into the VR headset enables natural interactions with the environment and objects with your own hands, just like in real life.

VR makes invisible hospital germs visible: Nurses clean their hands for 30 seconds at a disinfectant dispenser. The VR headset captures the movements and visualizes if and how bacteria disappear from the hand.

Nurses train in realistic simulations of everyday care scenarios. Patients appear alive, move their eyes, and make visual contact.

The patient's health data and medical record are available in the virtual patient file, which prepares nurses to provide proper care.

Nurses use the virtual patient file to calculate the patient's nutritional needs and select the appropriate nutrition for the PEG tube.

In VR, nurses can safely practice situations they've never or rarely practiced before, as often as they want. This allows them to develop a routine, even for tasks that rarely occur in their daily work. Training centers can target staff deficiencies and systematically improve care delivery.

Training content can be customized to include doctors, patients, and family members.
