Get in a Headset

SimX thrives on immersive virtual reality experiences, so the next step is to get into a VR headset and try it for yourself! SimX is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, even for VR beginners. To get you oriented with the SimX system, try our demo, which includes a full in-headset tutorial and sandbox mode. Additionally, the SimX team can provide orientation sessions and hands-on tutorials for instructors to explore VR scenarios. The SimX sandbox mode provides a safe space for learners to experiment with different scenarios and tools without the pressure of a formal training session.

Exploring the tutorial and the sandbox on your own time can help you feel confident and better equipped to provide students and trainees with an effective and immersive simulation experience. Whether you’re getting ready to practice emergency procedures, mastering essential care techniques, or improving communication in healthcare settings, the SimX VR experience will provide you with full immersion in true-to-life virtual patient encounters.

Explore Custom Solutions

SimX isn’t a one-size-fits-all platform. One of its standout features is the ability to create custom training scenarios tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re a simulation specialist, educator, or administrator, you can work with SimX to develop virtual patient encounters that reflect the specific challenges your learners face. You can also adapt multiple scenarios to match your learning objectives and focus more on specific procedures, essential decision-making, or patient care communication.

SimX’s flexible training solutions make it easier for sim centers to maintain their unique focus and methodology while incorporating custom VR curriculum development. The low effort and low cost of VR simulation training means you can start running immersive, high-fidelity scenarios in 5 minutes!

Integrate SimX Into Your Simulation Curriculum

For medical educators and simulation specialists, SimX offers an incredible opportunity to enhance your curriculum. By integrating the platform into your existing training programs, you can give students access to cutting-edge VR simulations that bring theory into practice. Using SimX’s powerful analytics and performance feedback tools, you can track student progress, identify areas for improvement, and help learners refine their clinical skills in a safe, controlled environment.

Additionally, SimX’s VR scenarios support interprofessional education (IPE) and team training, which can benefit learners across different specialties. These scenarios reflect real-life collaboration in the modern healthcare environment. With VR, you can successfully scale your simulation curriculum according to the needs of your learners without additional physical space or equipment. And you can scale training at just a fraction of the cost of traditional manikin-based simulations.

Take Advantage of SimX Support

As with any advanced platform, support is key to ensuring smooth integration and usage. SimX offers comprehensive support to guide you through every step, from initial setup to troubleshooting and continuous technical assistance. If you encounter any issues with software, hardware, or custom scenarios, the SimX support team is available to help ensure you stay on track with your simulation goals. The SimX team also offers regular updates to keep our system on the cutting edge of VR simulation technology.

Success Stories

Still on the fence about starting SimX? Here are some firsthand experiences from SimX customers to help you feel confident about trying out SimX for yourself. 

• “We LOVE the program, and so does our team. It has changed the way we conduct our education and try to incorporate it into every class we hold.” – Dustin Tate, SFCAD.
• “VR creates a near real-world, rapid-fire response scenario where students learn to think on their feet and perform under pressure. Through repeated practice, VR is also shown to reinforce essential skills such as critical thinking, conflict management, and perspective taking.” – Dr Melissa J Perry, Richmond Times Dispatch.
• “We’ve been fairly demanding and particular about how we wanted these cases to be. It was extremely rare that the SimX team was like, no, we don’t think we can do that for you. They’ve really been top-notch in terms of getting back to us and really editing the cases to our standards.” – Anthony Andriotis, Pulmonary Critical Care Physician and Director of Manhattan VA Sim Lab, NYU.
• “I would recommend SimX to anyone interested in starting a VR program more than just the software. It’s the people that you’re working with. Everyone that I have interacted with at SimX has been responsive, they’ve been understanding, and they understand not only the technology but healthcare, and they’re able to translate some of those gaps that a lot of us educators have.” – Nichole Brown, Cleveland Clinic.
• “One of the things that impressed us in the very beginning when we started using SimX is that the individuals, who are involved with case creation, are all within healthcare. And so that was impressive to us. Working alongside them, they’ve really met us where we are, as far as what we understand about virtual reality, and have helped us to either purchase scenarios that were already created or troubleshoot the scenarios that we’re using.” – Heiddy DiGregorio, Pediatric Clinical Nurse Specialist, Assistant Professor,  University of Delaware.
