Goggleminds develop training programs for healthcare students and professionals which can be delivered through virtual reality (VR) or laptops. Training programs cover clinical specialities including medicine, nursing, surgery and allied healthcare professions.
Goggleminds specialise in combining gamification and immersive technology to help healthcare professionals and students learn more effectively. The demand for virtual training increased during the Covid-19 pandemic as healthcare professionals sought safer alternatives to face-to-face training.
The resulting training programme uses VR headset technology that gives healthcare practitioners the opportunity to train in a safe and controlled environment, with content that accurately replicates real clinical scenarios.
Azize Naji, Founder of Goggleminds said:
“What we want to do is really engage health care staff in the training process. I've actually worked in healthcare for a number of years. I saw the problems first-hand and for me it was about providing solutions for what I saw was a big problem. And that problem is training that's unengaging, inaccessible, and ineffective. We think it's really important that healthcare staff are provided with the right tools, and for us, that's about providing excellent quality training for them. So, Accelerate has provided us with the tools, the resources and the information to really expand what we're doing.”
This project was supported by Accelerate, a now-closed programme led by Life Sciences Hub Wales.
