Paramedical Intervention Team
VR - Project
Introducing VR training to medical personnel has been a challenge that Proximus has taken on, with a particular focus on developing a Paramedical Intervention Team Training program. To showcase the potential of VR for medical training, OneBonsai was brought on board to create a solution that would meet the needs of medical experts and the Proximus team.
Medical teams lacked realistic and scalable paramedical intervention training.
Proximus and OneBonsai built a VR program combining classroom and immersive simulations.
With OLV Aalst, OneBonsai rapidly developed 35 VR scenarios using agile methods.
The training was integrated into the VIP platform for broad healthcare use.
Challenge
Proximus Innovation team wants to explore how Virtual Reality can help them provide training services to the medical sector. To this end, together with OLV Aalst hospital, they outlined a Proof of Concept project which would train medical personnel to correctly react to an incident scene. In the professional sphere, this is known as the Paramedical Intervention Team training.
Solution
The training application allows an instructor to provide classroom training supported by Virtual Reality. A trainee is put in the VR training, while the instructor sets up the VR session. To this end, the instructor can define the virtual patients and their ailments, and configure various settings of the VR environment. Once the session has started, the classroom can follow along and provide input on the various stages of the training.
