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 itInstructors 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 benefitsAligned 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 CNA programs in the United States, including South Central Service Cooperative in Minnesota, where instructors have created 20+ patient-communication cases for New American students preparing for state certification.
