Neonatal Resuscitation – VR Training Simulation

Client: Children’s Youth Department
Target Medium: Oculus Quest 2+

Challenge:
Neonatal emergency care requires quick, precise interventions under high-pressure conditions, where every second counts. Conventional training for healthcare providers may lack the immersive, hands-on experience needed to fully prepare clinicians for real-life scenarios, particularly in low-resource settings. There is a critical need for a training modality that can simulate neonatal emergencies, allowing practitioners to practice vital skills and improve response times to reduce neonatal mortality and improve patient outcomes.

Task:
Develop a VR-based training module to provide healthcare providers with a realistic, immersive environment where they can practice neonatal emergency procedures. This project involves creating VR simulations of critical neonatal events such as resuscitation and respiratory support, aligned with established medical protocols. 

Solution:
Implement VR as a high-fidelity training tool to simulate real-life neonatal emergencies. By allowing practitioners to experience high-pressure, realistic scenarios, this intervention will improve clinical decision-making, procedural proficiency, and confidence in neonatal emergency response. Healthcare providers will receive feedback on their performance to reinforce learning outcomes.​
