Virtual reality training

Learning Mode

The learning mode offers step-by-step guidance from preparation to set-up, connection and finally, disconnection. For each step, an instruction is offered by a virtual nurse followed by an action the patient needs to fulfil before the level is completed.

…introduce Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients and their relatives to CAPD as a treatment option

As part of the educative conversation with a patient who needs to start dialysis, it can be used to increase the visibility of home therapies as an option for patients. While hemodialysis can often be shown directly in the dialysis center, where patients can talk with each other about the treatment, peritoneal dialysis may be less visible to new patients. Virtual Reality can show patients what a home treatment might look like to help them make an informed decision about their treatment of choice.

…prepare new patients for later hands-on training

Before the catheter insertion or while still waiting for the exit site to heal after the catheter insertion, stay•safe MyTraining VR can already be used for dry training. The training can be done in a seated position and at a self-determined pace. Training in VR before or after the catheter insertion is intended to help patients be better prepared when starting the hands-on training.
 

…offer patients additional training opportunities during the initial patient training

Hands-on training is usually conducted alongside the normal treatment cycle of three to four bag exchanges per day. In addition, training with stay•safe MyTraining VR can offer patients the opportunity to learn and repeat the treatment steps at their own pace.
