Stage III

What Stage III does

Stage III, developed and marketed by WholeLogic Inc., is a subscription-based veterinary anesthesia simulation platform first deployed in 2016 at the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine. The software provides an immersive clinical simulation environment for training veterinary professionals, featuring a realistic vital signs monitor display (ECG with heart rate up to 300 bpm, pulse feedback, respiratory parameters), keyboard-triggered verbal feedback prompts (F1–F10 keys) for clinical findings such as withdrawal reflex, jaw tone, and CPR status, structured instructor dashboards for scenario control and learner monitoring, custom scenario authoring, automatic documentation saving to CSV, and automatic software updates. The platform was authored by a board-certified veterinary anesthesiologist (Dr. Robert D. Keegan, DVM, DACVAA) with input from an educational content director (Julie Noyes, DVM, PhD), lending clinical and pedagogical credibility that is supported by a 2021 publication in the Simulation in Healthcare journal.

The product is sold via three subscription editions — Academic (colleges of veterinary medicine), Technician (veterinary technology programs), and Corporate — on an annual billing cadence with quote-based, non-public pricing. Distribution is direct-to-institution through the company website and phone/email contact, supplemented by conference presence at AVTE (Association of Veterinary Technician Educators) workshops and an extensive downloadable resources library (manuals, scenario templates, computing requirements, HECVAT Lite security documentation, and VPAT 2.5 accessibility documentation). The company serves 26 veterinary technology programs and 6 colleges of veterinary medicine across North America, including anchor customers Washington State University and the University of Arizona. The business is privately held, founder-controlled, and operates with a team of 1–10 employees; funding has come primarily from two NSF SBIR Phase I grants supporting simulation R&D. There is no evidence of venture capital backing, mergers or acquisitions, or geographic expansion beyond North America.

Broad incumbents

• 3D Systems (Simbionix healthcare simulation): Through its Simbionix line, 3D Systems provides virtual reality surgical and interventional training simulators for medical institutions. Comparable to Stage III as an institutional clinical simulation vendor with realistic procedural content and recurring software licensing.
• Laerdal Medical: Global leader in healthcare simulation (resuscitation, patient simulation, and nursing education). Comparable to Stage III as a healthcare clinical simulation vendor serving institutional buyers, though Laerdal operates at much larger scale and is primarily focused on human rather than veterinary medicine.
• CAE Healthcare: Healthcare simulation division of CAE Inc., offering patient, surgical, and ultrasound simulation (e.g., CAE Blue Phantom). Comparable to Stage III as a clinical simulation platform targeting academic and hospital customers with realistic vital signs and procedure training.

Emerging players

• HRV Simulation: French developer of high-fidelity patient and anesthesia simulation products for medical education. Comparable to Stage III as a clinical anesthesia simulation vendor targeting academic medical training programs, with broader patient monitoring scope.
• VirtaMed: Developer of high-fidelity virtual reality medical training simulators for surgery, endoscopy, and ultrasound. Comparable to Stage III as a clinical simulation vendor serving teaching hospitals and academic programs with realistic procedural environments.
• FundamentalVR: VR surgical simulation platform with haptic feedback used by academic medical centers and device manufacturers. Comparable to Stage III as an immersive, evidence-based clinical skills simulator targeting institutional buyers, though focused on human surgery rather than veterinary anesthesia.
• Osso VR: Virtual reality surgical and procedural training platform for healthcare professionals and medical device teams. Comparable to Stage III as a recurring-license simulation product sold into institutional and enterprise training programs with a focus on procedural skill acquisition.
• Kognito: Conversational virtual humans and simulations used by health professional schools for communication and behavioral health training. Comparable to Stage III as a healthcare-education simulation software vendor with institutional sales and recurring licensing.
