Transforming Medical Device Training with Immersive Technology

The Challenge

Medical device training faced severe operational and financial barriers, including a high dependency on scarce physical equipment, limited access to critical real-world scenarios, and expensive instructor-led onboarding. Furthermore, organizations struggled with a lack of standardized learning across disparate geographies, leaving field technicians with minimal hands-on experience before actual real-world deployment.

Our Solution

Aura Interact collaborated with NVRT Labs to develop a comprehensive ecosystem of immersive training solutions, featuring VR Training Modules for realistic medical device operation, repair, step-by-step workflows, and error-based learning. This was complemented by a Multiplayer VR Training Platform, enabling instructors and multiple learners to collaborate simultaneously through real-time voice communication and avatars. The ecosystem also included AR and cross-platform applications (Mobile AR and Desktop/WebGL) for real-time SOP visualization in the field.

Together, Aura Interact and NVRT Labs successfully developed and deployed a wide range of specialized medical device training modules, including:

• →LIFEPAK 20e Defibrillator
• →Portable Suction Regulator
• →GE MAC 5500 ECG
• →Ranger 245 Fluid Warmer
• →Zoll R Series Defibrillator
• →Hill-Rom Advanta 2
• →Ritter UltraClave Sterilizer
• →Valleylab FT10 ESU
• →BD Alaris IV Pump

Key Results

The deployment successfully drove a significant reduction in training costs and unlocked much faster onboarding timelines for incoming technicians. Skill retention rates notably improved across the board while operational dependencies on expensive physical hardware were completely minimized.
