SimX, the leader in virtual reality (VR) healthcare training, and Elevate Healthcare, formerly CAE Healthcare, a global leader in simulation-based education, are proud to announce a strategic collaboration aimed at transforming the landscape of medical training and education.
This collaboration will bring together SimX’s cutting-edge VR simulation platform and Elevate’s proven expertise in physical simulation and improving patient outcomes in healthcare. At a time when the healthcare industry faces a critical shortage of nurses and over 200,000 preventable patient deaths annually, this partnership aims to close gaps in training and improve clinical readiness through next-generation simulation. SimX’s Virtual Reality Simulation System (VRMSS) addresses this need for institutions and facilities around the world.
SimX’s proprietary virtual reality simulation platform–which offers the world’s largest library of VR medical simulation scenarios–will complement Elevate’s extensive knowledge and industry background so SimX can better provide healthcare professionals, educators, and institutions with a seamless, comprehensive training experience that bridges the gap between physical and virtual simulation.
Together, SimX and Elevate will ensure that learners have access to the most advanced and effective training tools available. This approach ensures that healthcare providers can experience a full spectrum of scalable and immersive simulation modalities that effectively prepare them for real-world scenarios. With this new relationship, Elevate customers could be referred to the SimX team and receive access to hundreds of VR scenarios across many different specialties to address any educational need.
“This relationship with Elevate will further SimX’s expansion,” said Ryan Ribeira, CEO and Founder of SimX. “Between SimX’s expertise in VR and Elevate’s credibility, experience, and industry presence, we truly believe we can make a big impact in the market and continue to improve patient outcomes worldwide.”
The collaboration between SimX and Elevate aligns with the shared vision of advancing medical education through technology. Both organizations are committed to improving access to high-quality training, increasing patient safety, and driving innovation in healthcare education. This collaboration also has the potential to provide deeper insights into learner performance and support institutions in scaling their training capabilities.
“Our goal is to provide flexible, outcomes-based training solutions that meet healthcare institutions wherever they are,” said Brian Truesdale, CEO of Elevate Healthcare. “By combining Elevate’s physical simulation and curriculum expertise with SimX’s advanced VR capabilities, we’re expanding the boundaries of what simulation can do to support educators, clinicians, and learners to create more positive outcomes in healthcare.”
