➨ Health Scholars launches VR training app for EMS personnel
➨ Sabrina Kieffer joins Looking Glass Factory board of directors
Why do EMS providers need such a solution? Recognising severe illness in infants and children is challenging, and it is further compounded by limited exposure to paediatric emergencies. Unless EMS providers are frequently practising, the nuanced skills needed to assess and treat children effectively decline over time, leading to significant readiness challenges. Virtual reality provides organisations a way to scale standardised and immersive pediatric competency training affordably.
What is Pediatric Emergency Care? A virtual reality training solution that enables EMS providers to see, assess, and care for various disease states, including respiratory distress, respiratory failure, shock, and cardiopulmonary failure across a diverse set of paediatric patients.
Where can I find out more? Take a look at the video below.
Scott Johnson, chief executive officer of Health Scholars: “We expect providers to perform at super-human levels 24/7 with mostly hands-off training delivered once a year. VR training will completely transform status quo training, giving providers the competency and confidence they need to deliver the very best care possible. Pediatric Emergency Care is just the beginning of this transformation, and we are thrilled to have AAP’s support and expertise.”
Janna Patterson MD, senior vice president of global child health and life support at AAP: “The release of the Pediatric Emergency Care application fills gaps seen with in-person training courses and allows for sustained high-quality paediatric care through low dose, high frequency experiential learning.”
Who else is on the Looking Glass board? Brenda Freeman, John Underkoffler, Brad Feld, and co-founder Shawn Frayne.
What is Kieffer’s background? Kieffer has held numerous management and executive positions in operations. She was an early employee at Vimeo, taking on the roles of vice president of operations and senior vice president of operations, in which she grew teams from dozens to hundreds of employees, and managed the day-to-day operations of those teams. From there, she moved onto Skillshare, where she currently serves as chief operating officer. In each of her positions, Kieffer has not only shown a profound skill for operations, but also a unique talent for growing teams and communities of users, according to Looking Glass Factory.
