“The problem with most offerings in online and CD-ROM healthcare learning products is that either the underlying biology or the 3D interface is addressed, but not both. As a result, students and healthcare professionals have had to contend with mathematical models with awkward interfaces or slick veneers having little substance behind them. Virtual Heroes combines the best of the physiology modeling community with the latest generation virtual reality interface. Not only is the underlying biology true to life, but the fidelity of the 3D interface creates an illusion of reality. As a result, learners interact in a highly immersive environment and experience realistic results based on their decisions and interactions.”

HumanSim™ by Virtual Heroes is a software simulation platform that provides enhanced initial, refresher and sustainment medical education and training. Virtual
Heroes is creating HumanSim™ by taking the most advanced digital game technology available, and integrating it with a high-fidelity physiologic-pharmacologic model for unprecedented experiential learning. HumanSim™ emphasizes “learning-by-doing” and provides training-to-proficiency in rare, complicated or otherwise error-prone tasks. HumanSim™ enables health care professionals to sharpen their assessment and decision-making skills without risk to patients in realistic, challenging, immersive environments. As hospitals struggle with more patients and fewer doctors, patient safety issues are on the rise due to limited resources and overworked staff. HumanSim™ directly addresses skills proficiency in this area.
