Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to identify all necessary equipment and hygienic protocols required before performing a hemoglobin fingerstick test.
Students will be able to execute the complete procedure for obtaining a capillary blood sample via fingerstick and accurately applying it to a hemoglobin test strip using a virtual meter.
Students will be able to interpret the displayed hemoglobin test results and explain the importance of correct device coding and biohazard waste disposal.

Perform an Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Perform ECG is a VR simulation that teaches users how to correctly perform an electrocardiogram (ECG). Learners practice positioning electrodes, capturing accurate readings, and interpreting results in a realistic virtual environment. This immersive experience enhances skills for accurate ECG execution and interpretation in real-world clinical settings.

Powered by SimGenie AI

SimGenie acts as a built-in lab assistant. A learner who gets stuck can ask for a hint by voice, and it adapts its guidance to what they are doing in the scene.
