Core offering

SimX provides a virtual reality medical simulation platform that enables healthcare professionals, students, and military personnel to practice clinical scenarios in fully immersive virtual environments without traditional lab space, manikins, or standardized patients. The platform features patented multiplayer technology for team-based training, AI-powered automated patient interactions, customizable Virtual Manikin patient encounters, and cross-platform VR headset compatibility. Customers access scenario libraries through the SimX Marketplace, customize content via a no-code Scenario Editor, and receive tiered educational support and integration services.

Product overview

SimX offers a unified VR medical simulation platform built around a core platform with modular add-ons and specialized sub-brands. The core SimX VR Medical Simulation Platform serves as the foundation, complemented by the Virtual Manikin™ Series for customizable patient encounters and the SimX Marketplace as the world's largest library of VR simulations. Modular capabilities include AI Assistant (for automated multi-character interactions), Autonomous Simulation (for self-directed learning), Offline Mode (for disconnected training), and Scenario Editor (for no-code customization). Specialized offerings include the VALOR Program (military/DoD training), VR for Nurses, VR for Physicians/Clinicians, VR for Hospital Systems, VR for EMS/Pre-Hospital, and VR for Military, each targeting specific learner populations. Educational and Integration Support Services and ASCEND (Air Methods partnership) provide implementation and training services. The platform is designed for interprofessional education with patented multiplayer technology supporting co-located and non-co-located team training.
