Helios Nurse VR Training

At 37 training centers of the Helios Clinics Group, nursing professionals immerse themselves in a faithfully reconstructed patient room in which they can move freely.

Tracking built into the VR headset enables natural interactions with the environment and objects using your 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 records the movements and visualizes whether and how bacteria disappear from the hands.

Nurses train on realistically simulated scenarios from everyday nursing practice. The patient appears lively, moves their eyes, and establishes visual contact.

The patient’s health data and medical history are available in the virtual patient record, which prepares nurses for proper handling. Nurses calculate energy requirements, for example, and select the appropriate nutrition for the PEG tube based on this.

In VR, nurses can safely practice previously untested situations as often as they like. This allows them to develop a sense of familiarity with tasks that are rarely encountered in everyday life. Training centers can specifically address staff deficiencies and systematically improve care services.

The training content can be individually expanded, for example, for physicians or for training patients and their families.
