CNA training virtual reality platform

immersiveVRnursing care

Overview MetaMedicsVR provides a training platform for nursing assistant (CNA) programs combining AI-driven clinical simulation and immersive VR skills practice. The solution maps to CNA competency frameworks to prepare students for certification and safe clinical practice from day one.

How CNA programs use it

• Instructors author and assign scenarios
• Students rehearse communication and bedside skills on any device
• Assessment emphasises demonstrated competency, not just course completion

AI Clinical Simulation & Training Content Unlimited AI-based conversational practice for communication, decision-making and documentation, configurable per program. Typical AI simulation topics include:

• Patient communication and consent
• Dementia, confusion and distress
• End-of-life conversations
• Recognising changes in condition
• Documentation and handover

VR Skills Training Hands-on CNA skills practised in immersive VR with guided, timed tasks and repeat-until-competent workflows. Core VR skills include:

• Vital signs and basic patient assessment (radial pulse & respirations)
• Bed-to-wheelchair transfer with gait belt
• Positioning and repositioning (side-lying, pillow support)
• Range of motion exercises (shoulder, knee & ankle)
• Feeding a dependent resident (upright positioning, safe pacing)
• PPE donning and removal, infection control

The full library follows the CNA skills checklist and includes catheter care, perineal care, foot care, mouth/denture care, modified bed bath, dressing affected side, anti-embolic stockings, bedpan & output measurement, hand hygiene and more.

Program benefits

• Aligned with state CNA competency frameworks — each scenario and VR module maps to assessed skills and knowledge domains
• Unlimited repetition with immediate, automated feedback after each attempt
• Student-level competency tracking for program review, clinical placement decisions and regulatory reporting
• Instructor customisation of scenarios and content to match program or facility protocols
• Integrates with existing LMS and records systems for grades, completion and competency exports
• Focus on preparing students for real clinical practice as well as certification

Analytics & Assessment The platform records step-by-step competency data for every simulation: completed steps, step order, timing and errors. Instructors receive scored and recorded attempts per student for review and reporting. Key analytics features include:

• Step-by-step competency on every attempt (beyond pass/fail)
• Progress tracking across each required skill
• Documentation exports ready for review and regulatory reporting

Content & Delivery Combined content library of AI conversational cases and VR bedside skills modules. Delivery is device-agnostic: web-accessible AI simulations plus immersive VR modules for hands-on practice.

Case examples Deployed in multiple CNA programs, including examples such as Minnesota SCSC and Colorado Early Colleges, where students rehearse bedside skills in VR and practice patient communication with the AI simulator before state certification.
