Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) [Unguided]

Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is a VR simulation that trains users to perform and interpret ultrasound exams. In realistic scenarios, learners practice probe positioning, image capture, and diagnostic assessments. This immersive tool helps build essential skills for clinical practice, enhancing proficiency in real-world diagnostic imaging.

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.
