What Lumeto does

Lumeto is a Toronto-based company that builds AI-powered extended reality (XR) simulation software for healthcare education and workforce training. Its flagship platform, InvolveXR, enables learners to practice clinical scenarios through immersive simulations featuring AI conversational virtual patients capable of realistic verbal and non-verbal responses. The platform also includes ACE (Artificial Clinical Evaluator), which assesses learner performance against clinical rubrics, and the recently launched ACF (Automated Clinical Facilitator), which autonomously guides debrief sessions. Lumeto offers a library of 500+ customizable learning experiences covering scenarios such as difficult airway management, opioid overdose response, mental health, and emergency medicine.

The platform serves nursing schools, medical schools, residency programs, hospitals, and adjacent segments including EMS/first responders, defense, and home/long-term care. Customers include named institutions such as Mayo and NYU Langone, with broader deployment across 50+ partner institutions and a province-wide rollout in Ontario's colleges and universities. The product suite spans headset-based VR, OnScreen mode (browser-accessible, non-English, multi-modal delivery introduced in 2025), and facilitator-led workflows, allowing institutions to adopt the platform without requiring dedicated VR hardware.

Lumeto operates an enterprise SaaS model with subscription-based licensing and direct enterprise sales supported by a demo-led motion. Clinical-society partnerships (notably CHEST) lend domain credibility, while ecosystem relationships with Bluedrop Performance Learning (2025) and the Canadian Space Agency via the Digital Technology Supercluster-funded Connected Care Capsule project extend distribution into workforce readiness and defense/remote healthcare. The company was founded in 2021 (originally as part of Dark Slope), rebranded as Lumeto Inc. in 2024, and employs 51-100 people.

Core offering

Lumeto offers InvolveXR, an AI-enabled immersive simulation lab for healthcare training. The platform supports customizable AI patient characters with verbal and non-verbal responses, multi-modal training (VR headset, screen-based, synchronous, asynchronous, observer, multi-user), AI-powered assessment and facilitation (ACE and ACF), and a library of 500+ competency-mapped learning experiences. The platform is licensed on a subscription basis to nursing schools, medical schools, residency programs, and hospitals.

Product overview

Lumeto offers a unified healthcare training platform called InvolveXR, combining AI-powered VR simulation with screen-based learning. The core InvolveXR Platform supports both immersive VR and OnScreen modes with identical capabilities. Key modules include ACE (Artificial Clinical Evaluator) for automated assessments, ACF (Automated Clinical Facilitator) for AI-guided debriefing, AI Characters for adaptive patient interactions, and a Learning Experience Library with 500+ customizable scenarios. The platform integrates generative AI for conversational virtual patients and is designed for self-directed and instructor-led training across healthcare education.
