UbiSim Leads in Immersive VR Simulation

UbiSim was created from the ground up for immersive VR using realistic interactions instead of “point and click” and menus. Intuitive scenarios standardize learning, while peer-led sessions enable programs to scale beyond limited clinical access.

"It builds their confidence when they go into the clinical realm to say, ‘OK, so this is what I learned in simulation, now I can see how I would use that.'"

"I created a whole scenario in less than an hour and a half with the UbiSim Editor - I had labs, X-rays, EKGs... and I still have a flip phone. But it was so easy!"

“There are 16 state competencies and we’re able to map some of them to virtual reality. For example, we built a scenario for hyperglycemia and blood glucose monitoring."
