Skills and Safety Training that Actually Changes Healthcare Behavior

Healthcare training with VR has been proven to improve learner recall accuracy, learning retention, and takes less time to train. Hospitals and medical institutions using VR for skills and safety training have seen fewer medical errors, improved patient outcomes, and qualitatively report that trainees find the training engaging and effective.

Healthcare is also seeing financial benefits from reduced training costs, less time away from clinical duties, and fewer complications or adverse events due to better-prepared staff. Additionally, VR training helps address the growing demand for skilled healthcare professionals, ensuring higher-quality care and improved operational efficiency.

Example Healthcare Simulations:

Emergency Room Simulation – Diagnosing a Heart Attack

In this PC-based simulation, you take on the role of a doctor responding to a patient experiencing severe chest pain. Using a range of diagnostic tools—including an ECG, blood tests, and a stethoscope—you must quickly assess the situation and determine the cause. Once diagnosed, you’ll choose the correct medications and procedures to stabilize the patient. Every decision impacts the outcome, making this an essential training tool for improving critical thinking and emergency response skills.

VR Hip Replacement Surgery – Precision in the Operating Room

Step into the role of a surgeon in this fully immersive VR simulation designed for hip replacement procedures. Using motion controllers, you’ll interact with a complete set of surgical tools, following step-by-step guidance to perform incisions, remove damaged bone, and implant a prosthetic hip. The simulation provides real-time feedback, ensuring accuracy in every step while building confidence in handling complex surgical procedures.

VR Dental Training – Mastering Class I Composite Fillings

Designed with finger-tracking technology, this VR dental training simulation allows users to practice Class I composite fillings with high precision. Trainees will prepare the cavity, apply the bonding agent, and properly shape and cure the composite material using virtual tools. The simulation provides instant feedback on technique, ensuring proper placement and finishing for realistic, hands-on learning in a risk-free environment.

Key Features of Forge Healthcare Simulations:

AI-Powered Patient Interactions

Our simulations go beyond static training by incorporating AI-driven virtual patients that respond dynamically to trainee interactions. These virtual patients exhibit realistic emotions, varied personalities, and adaptive behaviors, allowing medical students and professionals to develop essential bedside manner, diagnostic reasoning, and patient communication skills.

Trainees can engage in natural conversations with these AI patients, asking questions, providing explanations, and making clinical decisions in real-time. The AI evaluates word choice and accuracy of responses, providing instant feedback and performance scores based on medical accuracy, empathy, and professionalism. This dynamic system ensures that every interaction is a learning opportunity, helping practitioners hone their skills in a risk-free environment before working with real patients.

Complex Surgical Scenarios

We create high-fidelity surgical simulations that replicate real-world procedures with stunning accuracy, allowing trainees to practice in a fully interactive and immersive environment. From routine surgeries to rare and high-risk operations, our simulations cover every stage of the surgical process, including:
  • Preoperative planning – reviewing patient histories, identifying risks, and preparing necessary tools.
  • Procedure execution – practicing precision techniques, handling unexpected complications, and making critical, split-second decisions.
  • Postoperative care – monitoring patient recovery and managing potential complications.
With realistic tissue behavior, haptic feedback integration (where supported), and real-time scenario branching, trainees can experience the full weight of surgical decision-making. Every action is tracked and analyzed, allowing instructors to provide constructive feedback to improve skill development and surgical confidence.

Tailored Dental Training Modules

Our dental simulations provide a fully interactive VR learning environment, covering both general and specialized dental procedures. Trainees can:
  • Perform routine check-ups and diagnose common oral health issues.
  • Practice using dental instruments such as drills, scalers, and curing lights.
  • Handle complex procedures like root canals, crowns, and extractions.
  • Adapt to unexpected situations, such as patient discomfort, allergic reactions, or procedural complications.
With real-time performance tracking, trainees receive instant feedback on precision, technique, and patient interaction. This hands-on approach allows dental students and professionals to refine their skills safely and efficiently, bridging the gap between theoretical learning and real-world application.

Real-Time Performance Analytics

Powered by Forge Analytics, our platform offers a comprehensive tracking and reporting system that provides deep insights into trainee performance. Every interaction—whether it's a diagnosis, surgical maneuver, or patient communication—is logged and analyzed, allowing for data-driven training improvements.

Educators and supervisors can access customizable dashboards that display:
  • Skill proficiency trends over time.
  • Detailed breakdowns of decision-making processes and accuracy rates.
  • Comparison metrics across different trainees or training sessions.
  • Automated reports highlighting areas for improvement.
This data-driven approach ensures that training is not just immersive but also measurable, personalized, and continuously improving, helping institutions refine their medical education programs for better patient outcomes and higher professional competency.
