Further, learn how GIGXR’s HoloPatient app allows learners to see disease progression for 16 pathologies, portrayed by ultra-realistic and diverse patients. Instructors can customize each pathology, including altering vital signs. Students can join in the lessons either on a Microsoft HoloLens 2 headset or via Android or iOS smartphone or tablet from anywhere in the world. Learning objectives include:

  1. Demonstrate that the use of mixed reality in nursing education has a definable ROI in terms of student knowledge and engagement during the course.
  2. Understand how HoloPatient supports the clinical reasoning cycle and why that is key to training effective nurses.
  3. Understand how instructors can customize HoloPatient’s pathologies to their exact needs and save and share lessons.

This interactive session will feature firsthand demonstrations to explore how this technology is helping learners master clinical observation, assessment, diagnosis, treatment and collaboration, based on Collins’ work with HoloPatient and her own students. Collins will be joined by Garry Putland, vice president of sales at GIGXR.
