Lumeto, CAN Health Network, and The Michener Institute Lead with Immersive AI-Powered Learning
Lumeto is proud to announce a groundbreaking collaboration with the CAN Health Network, aimed at transforming clinical education and workforce training across Canada. At the heart of this partnership is a spotlight on our work with The Michener Institute of Education at UHN, one of Canada’s leading institutions in healthcare education.
Together, we are addressing critical workforce needs with InvolveXR, Lumeto’s AI-powered virtual reality (VR) platform designed to revolutionize immersive clinical training.
Using AI-enabled VR and screen-based modalities, InvolveXR creates realistic, customizable, and scalable learning environments that replicate real-world clinical scenarios. The platform supports healthcare professionals in developing critical skills, improving decision-making, and enhancing clinical readiness—all while reducing medical errors and improving patient outcomes.
What is InvolveXR?
InvolveXR is Lumeto’s flagship immersive simulation platform designed to revolutionize healthcare training. Using AI-driven VR technology, InvolveXR creates realistic, customizable, and scalable learning environments that replicate real-world clinical scenarios. The platform supports healthcare professionals in developing critical skills, improving decision-making, and enhancing clinical readiness—all while reducing medical errors and improving patient outcomes.
Key features of InvolveXR include:
- Customizable Learning Experiences: Tailor training modules to specific institutional needs, from patient profiles to clinical settings.
- AI-Enabled Simulated Characters: Real-time dynamic responses from virtual patients and other simulated characters to train on patient, care provide and team communication skills and high stakes scenarios
- AI-Enabled Assessments: As an aide to educators, the customizable AI-enabled assessments improve learner engagement and save valuable educator time
- Scalable Training: Supports both individual and team-based learning, accessible remotely or onsite.
How Does This Partnership Benefit CAN Health Network Members?
CAN Health Network member institutions now have the opportunity to integrate InvolveXR into their training programs. Here’s how this collaboration can benefit healthcare providers:
- Modernized Workforce Training: InvolveXR complements traditional education methods by providing immersive experiences that enhance skill development and clinical preparedness.
- Improved Training for Specialized Roles: As part of the partnership, Lumeto is working with The Michener Institute of Education at UHN to explore the impact of VR training on respiratory therapists—an example of how the platform can address specific workforce needs.
- Cost-Effective Scalability: The platform is designed for accessibility, requiring minimal infrastructure while delivering high-quality training experiences.
Our collaboration with Michener is just one example of how immersive technology is shaping the future of healthcare education.
How This Collaboration Is Helping In Tackling the Respiratory Therapist Shortage with VR-based Training
A key focus of this collaboration is respiratory therapy education, an area facing an urgent national shortage. According to the Canadian Occupational Projection System, demand for respiratory therapists will far outpace supply through 2031, placing added pressure on educators and clinical systems.
The Michener Institute, part of Toronto’s University Health Network, is rising to meet this challenge by integrating InvolveXR into their curriculum to support clinical readiness, reduce placement bottlenecks, and enhance learner confidence in a safe, adaptive, and accessible virtual environment.
VR offers an innovative solution to simulate high-risk clinical scenarios and help reduce the dependency on scarce placements—while still maintaining the quality of training and professional competency.
This initiative marks a scalable model for modernizing healthcare education that can extend well beyond respiratory therapy to other professions across Canada.
