SimX, a leader in virtual reality (VR) healthcare training, and Elevate Healthcare, formerly CAE Healthcare, a global leader in simulation-based education, are proud to announce a strategic collaboration aimed to transform the landscape of medical training and education. This collaboration will bring together SimX’s cutting-edge VR simulation platform and Elevate Healthcare’s proven expertise in physical simulation and improving patient outcomes in healthcare. At a time when the healthcare industry faces a critical shortage of nurses and over 200,000 preventable patient deaths annually, this partnership by two companies both under the banner of Madison Industries, aims to close gaps in training and improve clinical readiness through next-generation simulation. SimX’s Virtual Reality Simulation System (VRMSS) addresses this need for institutions and facilities around the world. This HealthySimulation.com article by Dr. Teresa Gore will highlight what this collaboration will mean for healthcare simulation and education.
SimX and Elevate Healthcare Join Forces
SimX’s proprietary virtual reality simulation platform, which offers the world’s largest library of VR medical simulation scenarios, will complement Elevate’s extensive knowledge and industry background so SimX can better provide healthcare professionals, educators, and institutions with a seamless, comprehensive training experience that bridges the gap between physical and virtual simulation.
Together, SimX and Elevate will ensure that learners have access to the most advanced and effective training tools available. This approach ensures that healthcare providers can experience a full spectrum of scalable and immersive simulation modalities that effectively prepare them for real-world scenarios. With this new relationship, Elevate customers could be referred to the SimX team and receive access to hundreds of VR scenarios across many different specialties to address any educational need.
