WESTMINSTER, Colo. , June 15,
2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Health Scholars, the
leading provider of virtual reality (VR) clinical training for
high-acuity care, today announced the company has received Juniper
Research's Future Digital Health Innovation Award at the Gold
level, for "Best Immersive Reality Healthcare Solution."
The Future Digital Health Innovation Awards are presented to
companies that deliver imaginative, innovative products or services
that have the potential to disrupt their ecosystems and provide
significant benefits to their target audience.
The Health Scholars Virtual Learning Platform uses on-demand,
voice-directed VR simulations, cloud-based analytics and simulation
management to improve clinical training for hospital providers and
emergency medical services (EMS) personnel. Currently used by 35
major healthcare and EMS organizations across the country, the
mobile, cloud-based Health Scholars platform makes it easy and
affordable to deliver, at scale, the real-to-life experience
providers need to act quickly and make better decisions.
"Health Scholars is honored to receive this award, which
recognizes our mission to advance healthcare simulation through
virtualization," said Brian Gillett,
MD, President of Health Scholars. "Our VR training prevents skills
decay and enables more frequent training to optimize readiness so
providers are prepared to take life-saving action when placed in
stressful clinical and emergent situations."
Health Scholars voice-driven interaction and in-person team
simulations address cognitive skills that can't be gleaned from
other training methods. Learners practice real-time communications,
critical thinking and decision making – and every action is
measured. No other scalable means delivers such immersive training
at a meaningful cadence.
The foundation of the Health Scholars VR training system is the
company's "Converged VR" – an AI-driven convergence of analytics,
bio-feedback, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and voice-directed
cloud-based on-demand VR simulations delivered on Oculus Quest 2
headsets. The platform tracks and assesses core competencies and
provides learner readiness reports to identify critical skills
gaps. Moreover, it provides a centralized system for learners to
access assignments, schedule training times, review performance and
obtain continuing education certificates. Moreover, it
Simulations cover high-risk/low-frequency events, such as fire
in the operating room, pediatric pre-hospital emergencies, and
advanced life support "mega codes," where continuous practice has
been proven to reduce medical error and improve patient
outcomes.
Each Health Scholars VR simulation is designed to help meet
training requirements designated by JCAHO and OSHA. They are
co-developed with notable hospitals and EMS agencies, such as
Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Mount Sinai Health System, and New
York City Health & Hospitals, as well as professional societies
including the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the
Association of PeriOperative Registered Nurses (AORN). Moreover,
each Health Scholars VR training is CE-accredited through the
American Nurses Credentialing Centers Commission on Accreditation

Education (CAPCE).
