General care simulator Long-Term Care VR Simulation

trainingvirtual reality

Overview
The VR training behind the MetaMedicsVR CNA program: students practice the core skills of long-term care — guided care protocols, feeding, hygiene, mobility, nutrition and medication — with virtual residents, repeating each one until it holds up on a real shift.

Core features

• Virtual residents with individual records, capacities and needs
• Guided, step-by-step care protocols displayed on the room screen
• Skills focused on the CNA skill set: feeding, hygiene, mobility, nutrition, medication preparation and administration
• Designed for both single-user and classroom use

What makes it different

• Safety and hygiene are built into routines (finding supplies, sanitizing, safe work around residents)
• Mobility practiced without risk — guided range-of-motion and balance exercises to protect resident and caregiver
• Daily-living skills rehearsed step-by-step: feeding, personal care, routine tasks
• Medication preparation practiced in a residence pharmacy context: right med, right dose, right time

How a session runs
Every session follows the same loop — choose, perform, repeat, review.

• Choose: pick the task and workspace (resident room, kitchen, gym, pharmacy) and check the resident record before acting
• Perform: follow on-screen protocol step-by-step (explain procedure, sanitize, position, feed, record), hands on
• Repeat: attempt again immediately; students repeat until the sequence is fluent
• Review: each protocol ends in an evaluation that shows missed steps and instructor-visible readiness

What it covers

• A residence full of virtual residents so skills are practiced on a person, not on a checklist
• Mobility and range-of-motion exercises and mobility support rehearsals
• Nutrition and diets: choosing appropriate foods by prescribed diet type, kitchen workflow

Who it’s for

• CNA programs at community colleges
• Long-term care facilities and staff onboarding
• Workforce development programs
• Vocational health and social care programs, home care and assisted living training

Technical specifications

• Primary training mode: immersive VR with guided on-screen protocols
• Core modules: feeding, hygiene, mobility, nutrition, medication (preparation and administration)
• Session flow: choose → perform → repeat → review with per-protocol evaluation
• Deployment modes: single-user headset sessions and classroom/group sessions
• Learner outcomes: repeated deliberate practice to fluency; instructor-visible evaluations of missed steps
• Media assets: integrated in-app video and on-screen protocol media (used for demonstration and in-simulation prompts)
