Elevate Healthcare enhances learning opportunities through upgraded Vimedix features that foster better interactions and focused practice for developing ultrasound skills. The simulator allows novice learners to compare textbook images of underlying structures with actual ultrasound images. As learners gain experience and confidence, facilitators can remove the textbook references, displaying only the ultrasound visuals. Elevate Healthcare now offers this valuable experience specifically for women’s health in OB/GYN. This HealthySimulation.com article by Teresa Gore, PhD, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, CHSE-A, FSSH, FAAN, will provide an overview of Vimedix OB/GYN.
Innovative Learning with****Vimedix
As the field of ultrasonography grows, there is greater demand for highly skilled practitioners and well-trained ultrasound technologists who are competent, comfortable, and confident in performing techniques associated with accurate image identification and diagnoses. Vimedix offers a comprehensive range of realistic and scalable ultrasound training solutions with an ever-expanding library of features and options, which helps accelerate the learning curve from novice to proficiency and allows for repeated practice in a risk-free environment.
Through a vast catalog of pathologies, self-directed training activities, and performance metrics, Vimedix assists learners in increasing their assessment competencies in ultrasound procedures.
Real-World Skills Through Advanced Simulation
With ultrasound simulation-based training from Vimedix, learners acquire real-time scanning experience and can observe pathologies to which they might not otherwise have exposure. Students and learners also develop competency in essential psychomotor, problem-solving, and creative thinking skills to quickly gain confidence.
- Train in over 50 pathologies of the first and second trimesters (8, 12, and 20 weeks)
- Ability to change fetus orientation/positioning
- Perform realistic obstetrics measurements and calculations
- Standalone Transvaginal platform is available via the holographic, augmented reality technology of the VimedixAR/Microsoft HoloLens modules
Vimedix 3.7: New Features for Impactful Learning Experiences
With the new Vimedix 3.7 features, learners can diagnose and critically think with more realistic images to visualize the underlying cause of various conditions, providing learners with improved confidence and competency levels. These features include:
- 3rd Trimester Imaging: Leverage an animated heart and key scanning techniques to boost third-trimester ultrasound skills. Learners can assess, diagnose, and then develop a treatment plan early to prevent or minimize complications and improve the outcomes of the mother and baby.
- 3rd Trimester Belly: Replicate the look and feel of late-stage pregnancy and practice realistic ultrasound scenarios. A more realistic representation of the last trimester allows the learner to more easily suspend disbelief and relate to the immersion as a realistic experience.
- Linear Probe: Witness high-resolution breast and airway imaging to help prepare for real-world critical moments. The probe provides more learning opportunities to practice gynecological issues in women’s health. It can be used to practice skills in inpatient and outpatient settings. Ultrasound can help professionals master psychomotor skills and build on clinical judgment skills to diagnose and develop treatment plans.
- Case Comparison: Load, scan, and adjust two cases simultaneously to compare normal and abnormal pathologies. This is not possible in the traditional clinical setting.
- Ultrasound Labeling Exercises: Create customized exercises to help learners identify anatomy during their education journey.
- Female Anatomy HoloLens: Visualize the female anatomy as a holographic overlay to improve the understanding of ultrasound physics and anatomical dimensions.
