Train How You Fight With the SimX VALOR Program
SimX partnered with the US Air Force to create the Virtual Advancement of Learning and Operational Readiness (VALOR) program. VALOR makes medical simulation more comprehensive, flexible, and accessible for military personnel. Developed with over $20M in DOD R&D dollars and now deployed at 50+ DOD units, the SimX Virtual Reality Medical Simulation System (VRMSS) enables high-quality, repeatable, and accessible training for a wide array of realistic scenarios.
The SimX VALOR curricula are designed and tested with experienced military medical educators and are based on military protocols and clinical practice guidelines. Through the VALOR program, elite medical personnel can treat and stabilize a wide range of injuries across the continuum of care. Trainees at any level and in any role can practice clinical and operational decision-making in fully immersive environments. It allows learners to safely train high-consequence situations while exponentially increasing “reps”. This creates the opportunity for military personnel to train, not until they get it right, but until they can’t get it wrong.
Each simulated patient encounter in the VALOR curriculum is built for either co-located or non-co-located multiplayer team training. This allows SimX users to train in true-to-life cross-team units that focus heavily on improving communication and collaboration skills.
Practice emergency and hand-off procedures with virtual patients in realistic operational environments. Trainees can expect to perform the same procedures and utilize tools just as they would in real combat situations
No bulky equipment or drop-down menus! SimX requires only a wireless VR headset and a laptop computer. Training sessions can now be set up anytime, anywhere, in a matter of minutes.
Create custom scenarios to put any patient in any operational environment. With the in-house SimX development team, you can create truly unique patient encounters and utilize custom sets, kits, and outfits (SKO).
The VALOR program is in operational use at over 20 installations within the U.S Airforce and Defense Health Agency. The VALOR program can meet the dynamic needs of Combat Casualty Care for:
Combat casualty care spans the continuum from Role 1 combat lifesavers, medics, pararescuemen, IDMTs, and other personnel providing care under fire, to Role 2 forward medical units and special operations surgical teams providing resuscitation and stabilization, to Role 3 MTF personnel providing definitive care.
These highly varied care environments all require warfighters to take quick and decisive action in environments presenting a wide variety of acute clinical challenges and psychoenvironmental stressors (such as enemy action, moving transports, etc.).
8 scenarios plus 1 Virtual Manikin (Scenario Creator) spanning the spectrum of military medical care. From Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), Prolonged Casualty Care (PCC), Small Unit Care (SUC), Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) medicine. Appropriate for all TCCC responder levels. Includes TCCC Virtual Manikin, which allows you to customize and create scenarios by adjusting vitals, wound patterns, and medical conditions on the fly.
13 scenarios spanning the aeromedical evacuation and critical care air transport spectrum, taking place across a variety of replicated airframes with appropriate sets, kits, and outfits. Additionally, there is one multi-patient scenario with options to choose any of the cases in the curriculum and also choose the transport platform. Appropriate for AE/CCAT medical personnel. Transport platforms include the C-130, C-17, and KC-135. Developed in collaboration with the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine.
7 scenarios plus 1 Virtual Manikin (Scenario Creator) spanning the full spectrum of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). Appropriate for all TCCC responder levels. Includes multiple patient and mass casualty scenarios. (* = included in Base Package)
15 scenarios targeting assessment, field management, and transport of patients in the prehospital setting. Scenarios cover a broad range of practice including medical, trauma, psychiatric, obstetrics, and pediatrics. The scenarios start in an ambulance en route to the scene, and meet the patient in their home environment. Learners should stabilize the patient at the scene, prepare for transport, continue management of their condition while en route to the hospital and give a report over the radio. 10 Scenarios developed in collaboration with the Stryker School of Medicine at Western Michigan University Department of Emergency Medicine. 5 Scenarios developed independently (* = included in Base Package).
16 scenarios targeting the assessment, management, and decontamination of CBRN casualties, including 11 battlefield exposure scenarios and 5 civilian disaster/attack scenarios. Developed in collaboration with the Stryker School of Medicine at Western Michigan University Department of Emergency Medicine and the Special Operations Center for Medical Integration and Development. Appropriate for all TCCC responder levels (* = included in Base Package).
20 scenarios and 2 Virtual Manikins targeting assessment and management of warfighter health concerns by the TCCC provider in the austere, forward-deployed small unit setting. Developed in collaboration with the Special Operations Center for Medical Integration and Development and appropriate for all TCCC responder levels.
4 scenarios spanning Canine Field Care skillset with military working dogs. Appropriate for all TCCC responder levels (* = included in Base Package).
20 scenarios targeting readiness training for nurses in the clinical and hospital setting, spanning a variety of specialties and nursing competencies. Developed in collaboration with Elsevier.
6 scenarios spanning the Advanced Resuscitative Care spectrum, with fully implemented ARC tactics, techniques, and procedures, such as REBOA placement and massive transfusion. Appropriate for TCCC Tier Four (Combat Paramedic/Provider), Special Operations Surgical Teams, and similar providers. Developed in collaboration with the University of Alabama Birmingham Department of Acute Care Surgery and the Special Operations Center for Medical Integration and Development.
6 scenarios and 1 Virtual Manikin addressing core prolonged casualty care competencies in the austere, deployed setting. Appropriate for all TCCC responder levels and configurable for different levels of training and equipment configurations.
