Help Today's Discoveries Become Tomorrow's Innovations: Available Technologies

Step into the Future of Health Care Safety

A New Era in Workplace Violence Prevention

Imagine stepping into a high-risk situation — an aggressive patient, a tense emergency room or a hostile visitor—all without real-world consequences. With our cutting-edge virtual reality (VR) training, health care workers experience realistic, high-pressure scenarios in a safe, immersive environment designed to prepare them for the unexpected.

An Unparalleled Training Experience

Engaging, Interactive, Realistic

Unlike traditional training, our VR simulations create real-world health care environments where users actively engage with dynamic, motion-capture avatars that respond in real-time. Every scenario is designed to sharpen critical skills, boost confidence and enhance situational awareness.

Master the Art of Prevention and Response

Situational Awareness: Identify early warning signs of aggression and learn to defuse escalating conflicts before they turn violent.

De-escalation Techniques: Use verbal and non-verbal strategies to calm patients and prevent incidents.

Physical Defense & Evasive Maneuvers: Train realistic self-protection techniques to ensure safety in high-risk encounters.

Emerging Technological Capabilities

Gaze Tracking: Measure where users focus during simulations, providing real-time coaching for improved alertness.

Data-driven Feedback: Track reaction times, missed cues and response effectiveness to continually refine skills.

Customizable Scenarios: Tailor training to specific environments, from pediatric to behavioral health settings.
