Perform an Electrocardiogram (ECG) [Unguided]

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.

Track learner progress

Run this simulation with a class and watch it happen: who started, who finished, and how long each learner took. Drill into a run to see what they actually did.

Group sessions

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.
