A simulation training facility has been set up by SingHealth and Duke-NUS Medical School to hone and improve the skills of healthcare professionals with the help of serious games.
Known as the SingHealth DukeNUS Institute of Medical Simulation (Sims) i3 Hub, the facility in Academia in College Road opened yesterday. It houses a wide range of extended-reality solutions – immersive technologies that can merge the physical and virtual worlds – and gaming equipment to facilitate learning.
Professor Chan Choong Meng, group chief education officer of SingHealth, said yesterday: “A key benefit of incorporating serious games in healthcare training is the ability to simulate challenging scenarios for learners to practise critical thinking, decision-making and hone practical skills in a safe learning environment.”
