Healthcare Simulated Experiences: Integrating Real and Virtual Learning
Engaging. Empowering. Interactive.
We design immersive simulations and innovative simulation centers for healthcare education, seamlessly integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and extended reality (XR) with real-world and online learning spaces.
With instructional design, medical simulation and architectural design expertise, we evaluate user needs, enhance learning outcomes through technology, and create tailored environments to redefine healthcare training.
At e-REAL, we specialize in designing cutting-edge immersive simulations for healthcare education in physical and online environments.
Healthcare educators and simulation professionals can leverage our unparalleled expertise in seamlessly integrating advanced educational technologies - enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI) and extended reality (XR) - with real-world learning spaces.
In addition to simulation design, we excel in planning and developing new simulation centers, blending our deep understanding of medical education with expertise in information and communication technology and architectural design.
As both educators specializing in medical simulation and architects skilled in creating immersive, interactive learning environments, we bring a rare combination of skills to:
1. Evaluate user needs for simulation-based training, both onsite and online.
2. Assess and integrate advanced technologies to maximize learning outcomes.
3. Design spaces tailored to the demands of healthcare training.
Whether you seek to enhance existing simulation programs or build an innovative simulation center, our team is ready to support your vision. Together, we can redefine how healthcare professionals learn and practice!.
Experience healthcare scenarios as if you're right there. With the e-REAL immersive simulations, you’ll practice the most essential skills - both technical and behavioral - you'll make critical decisions and build confidence. Onsite, online, in the metaverse. All enhanced by artificial intelligence.
We believe nothing becomes real if not experienced, so we help create interactive and enhanced learning experiences.
We integrate generative AI and extended reality in high-stakes healthcare scenarios.
Our solutions enhance:

A representative scenario for you
You have limited time and resources. The emergency room setting is always busy and sometimes understaffed. Usually, time is of the essence.
You need information: The patient’s history, medications, activity level, along with results of current and previous stethoscope exams, EKGs, ultrasounds and other records.
You also must assess the patient’s current presentation, pain level, physical examination and other tests.
You have questions: What other tests might be needed? Is any immediate action required? Should you consult with other doctors/experts?
You need to learn how to do this right. You can listen to lectures; study and memorize facts, you can learn by observing those more experienced in action, and even by trial and error.
Since practice makes perfect, wouldn’t it be preferable to actually try to perform these skills in a safe environment where you could learn from your mistakes – if that were possible?
