SA hospital to use VR tech for ICU training

The Queen Elizabeth 黑料吃瓜群网 (TQEH) in South Australia has partnered with Vantari VR to roll out virtual reality (VR) technology for medical education and training purposes in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Through its 鈥榝light-simulator鈥 style technology, Vantari VR delivers medical training via a VR headset and laptop, allowing clinicians to perform and perfect clinical procedures, in accordance with their mission to eliminate medical error through standardisation in the delivery of training across the board.

Vantari鈥檚 platform allows ICU clinicians to practice procedures in a safe VR environment, honing their skill sets to conduct procedures according to best-practice guidelines.

Clinicians can master the procedural techniques as they become ingrained and embedded into their cognitive processes through repetition.

Vantari鈥檚 partnership with TQEH seeks to provide an insightful case study into the positive impact increased access to, and consistency of, training can have on the sector and on patients in Adelaide.

Senior Consultant of the Intensive Care Unit Dr John Raj said, 鈥淗istorically, ICU clinicians have widely taken a 'see one, do one, teach one' approach, which leaves room for error if the procedure studied is not conducted accurately. Not only does this pose a risk to the accuracy in which the clinician then goes on to perform the procedure, but also to those junior clinicians they go on to teach in the future.

鈥淪tandardisation of medical procedures in the ICU setting is extremely important in determining if a procedure is successful. For example, when clinicians are put in a central line, each professional possesses their own way of administering certain steps; however, ensuring ICU clinicians are trained in virtual reality environment aids in instilling standardised habits and step-by-step synchronisation practices when conducting surgeries.鈥

Last year, Vantari VR was found to reduce medical error by 40%, as part of a recent research program conducted in partnership with the University of Wollongong.

Vantari VR Co-Founder and Co-CEO Dr Nishanth Krishnananthan said, 鈥淚t鈥檚 great to work with Dr John Raj and his team at TQEH as they join the journey to futureproof education and training. It validates the need for our platform in the SA health system and we couldn鈥檛 have found better ambassadors who share our vision.鈥

Recently, Vantari VR announced its first regional partnership in Australia with Latrobe Regional 黑料吃瓜群网. It has also been integrated into Nepean 黑料吃瓜群网 in NSW, and Royal Perth 黑料吃瓜群网 and Fiona Stanley 黑料吃瓜群网 in WA. Looking ahead to 2023, Vantari has already achieved multiple partners in the US as it continues to expand globally, with rollouts to come in the UAE, India and Asia.
