Lumeto Introduces InvolveXR AI Characters: A New Era in Healthcare Training, Revolutionizing Healthcare Simulation With Customizable AI-Enabled Virtual Humans

Toronto, ON – October 1, 2024 – Lumeto, a leader in immersive learning technology, is excited to announce the launch of InvolveXR AI Characters, a revolutionary solution set to transform the landscape of healthcare training. These first-of-its-kind customizable AI-powered virtual characters are uniquely capable of replicating high fidelity patient simulations, especially standardized patient training, traditionally reliant on live actors, at a fraction of the cost.

By integrating AI into customizable virtual patients that respond dynamically to learner interactions, InvolveXR AI Characters enable healthcare training programs to scale like never before—without compromising on realism or quality. For the first time, simulation directors can deploy immersive, high-fidelity healthcare scenarios that were once limited by high costs and resources.

A Game-Changer for Standardized Patient Training

Historically, healthcare simulation programs have relied on standardized patients—trained actors who portray specific medical conditions or psychosocial behaviors—to teach learners essential communication, assessment, and crisis management skills. However, these programs are expensive, resource-intensive, and difficult to scale.

InvolveXR AI Characters change the game by offering a virtual supplement with equally high fidelity. These AI-powered characters can be created using plain text and customized to reflect various medical and psychosocial conditions, all while delivering real-time verbal, non-verbal, and physiological responses. This capability allows healthcare programs to train more learners, across more scenarios, at a drastically lower cost than traditional standardized patient models.

Transformational Impact on Healthcare Training

The ability to scale standardized patient training with AI-driven virtual patients marks a transformational point in healthcare education. With InvolveXR AI Characters, healthcare programs can simulate high-pressure clinical environments, such as patient de-escalation and crisis management, with unmatched realism and efficiency. This shift allows educators to deliver robust learning experiences, empowering healthcare professionals to practice vital skills in diverse, immersive scenarios without the logistical limitations of human actors.

Key Benefits of InvolveXR AI Characters for Healthcare Training:

• For Learners: Learners can immerse themselves in complex, high-cognition healthcare scenarios with AI characters that respond in real time, helping to build and reinforce critical skills such as patient engagement, clinical decision-making, and crisis de-escalation. With the added flexibility of synchronous and asynchronous simulation, learners can train at their own pace, improving both confidence and competence.
• For Trainers: Trainers can focus on guiding the learning process, as InvolveXR AI Characters autonomously manage patient responses. This reduces the cognitive burden on trainers during live simulation sessions, allowing for a greater emphasis on learner engagement and reflection on patient outcomes.
• For Program Directors: With InvolveXR, healthcare programs can scale their standardized patient training significantly, providing a high fidelity experience to more learners with fewer resources. Directors can expand their offerings with minimal investment, leading to improved return on investment (ROI) and broader learner impact. Programs that previously required large teams of standardized patients and complex scheduling can now operate more efficiently and at optimized costs.
