For nurses and nursing students
A collection of our virtual reality training modules for nurses and nursing students. As we grow, we expand our list of modules all the time.
Meanwhile, please also take a look at our use cases or take a dive into our research.
If you feel a module is missing, please reach out to us, so we can start collaborating and revolutionize your medical training.
Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST)
A virtual training experience where doctors and medical students can practice focused trauma ultrasound (Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma, FAST). The training experience ranges from an introduction to basic ultrasound and peer-to-peer training in FAST with a virtual instructor to the opportunity to scan patients in the four different FAST zones and practice cases.
- Understanding of basic ultrasound
- Knowledge of FAST and understanding of the indications for the examination
- Ability to recognize free fluid in the pericardium and peritoneum on ultrasound
- Ability to perform a FAST examination.
Duration:
2 hours

Focused Lung Ultrasound (FLUS)
A virtual training scenario where healthcare professionals can practice performing and interpreting focused lung ultrasound (FLUS). The course includes a summary of the theoretical basic principles, a comprehensive practical review of the procedure, as well as interpretation of both normal and pathological ultrasound findings in patients with shortness of breath.
- Perform FLUS according to a 14-zone protocol
- Interpret normal ultrasound findings (lung sliding, curtain sign, etc.)
- Interpret pathological ultrasound findings related to common cardio-pulmonary diseases (pneumothorax, pleural effusion, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, etc.)
- Understand which findings require higher competence level UL evaluation
Duration:
3 hours
