Immersive Design Systems | Our Services | Overview
We’re passionate about improving the way clinicians deliver health care — and the way patients experience it. We offer a variety of services to both clinicians and families, from immersive training to pioneering surgical preparation tools, and everything in between.
Our Mission and Vision
- Mission: Create innovative, immersive experiences that educate and empower our people to continuously improve patient care
- Vision: Embed simulation in the everyday practice of pediatric healthcare to advance safe care for all children
Immersive experiences to optimize training and performance
- Create realistic medical simulations for individuals and interdisciplinary teams
- Debrief simulations in a psychologically safe environment to challenge assumptions and generate ideas to improve care
- Provide rigorous assessment of training needs
- Design customized instructional programs to meet individual, team, departmental, or even institutional training needs
- Faculty training focused on the design, delivery, and debriefing of activities within a simulation
Clinical systems testing to uncover and mitigate hazards
- Enhance the design and testing of new clinical infrastructure across all phases of construction
- Test new systems before deployment so clinicians can confidently care for their patients in thoughtfully designed clinical environments
- Help teams identify and mitigate latent safety threats to protect patients and providers
- Design, prototype, and test safety interventions
- Identify and test improvement strategies, and build pathways to implement positive change
One-of-a-kind clinical preparation tools
- Develop novel engineering solutions to solve specific clinical problems
- Create a wide assortment of tools for simulation-based task training, surgical skill development, and physician immersion
- Expand and augment the physical world using virtual training and tools, including in-depth clinical scenarios and patient preparation activities
- Transform imaging of the human body into digital and physical models that improve clinical insight, patient experience, and outcomes
- Design patient-specific models for presurgical planning and rehearsal, improved imaging visualization, sizing and trialing, education, and research
Patient-centered immersive training
- Connect patient families directly with their care teams in simulated settings to learn about an upcoming surgery
- Prepare patients and families to return home with new medical complexities
- Leverage technology, like virtual reality, to experience and prepare patients for new clinical spaces and experiences from the comfort of home
