Asepsis training in virtual reality

Asepsis training in virtual reality

This virtual reality application allows HEdS-FR students to practice asepsis during a blood test. Medical errors are estimated to be the third leading cause of death in the United States with 250,000 deaths per year after heart disease and cancer. Surgical site infections is one of the nine most common errors. Infection control is therefore a key element in the training of nurses and several practical simulation activities are carried out during the training. In this regard, rooms in the…

Augmented reality mannequin

Augmented reality mannequin

This augmented reality application allows HEdS-FR students to practice wound analysis. It can be used at home. The Simulation Center of the Haute École de santé Fribourg is equipped with medium-fidelity mannequins for the training of nursing students. Several activities are conducted with these mannequins, which simulate breathing, pulse, voice (by an operator), etc. This medium fidelity mannequin does not allow for the simulation of certain behaviors, such as pupil dilation. Although it is possible to make the mannequin bleed,…

App for the management of Multiple Sclerosis

App for the management of Multiple Sclerosis

This mobile application aims to support people affected by multiple sclerosis in managing the disease. Multiple sclerosis (MS for short) is an autoimmune disease affecting about 15,000 people in Switzerland. The exact cause of this disease remains unknown. The evolution of the disease is very unpredictable and variable depending on the patient (symptoms affect bodily/cognitive abilities as well as perception, thought and recognition). The follow-up of this disease is very important because people can have very important variations in their…

Simulated environment for virtual tours and training

Simulated environment for virtual tours and training

This tool allows you to create virtual tours from photos of an apartment and to add interactive elements to the tour. Creating environments similar to real-life situations, such as an elderly person’s apartment, is particularly important in the training of students. This allows students to transfer what they have learned more easily into daily practice. The Simulation Center of the Haute École de Santé Fribourg aims at simulating different environments, such as a hospital, a nursing home room or a…
