The TechFusion Summit, co-hosted by us at i3 Simulations and MergeXR with media support from Clearhead, was an unequivocal success, bringing together leading professionals, educators, and innovators from healthcare, education, and related industries to explore the transformative potential of XR, AI, metaverse, and haptics.Â
The event provided an invaluable platform for the healthcare simulation community to gain insights, share knowledge, and experience cutting-edge solutions that are revolutionising skill development, knowledge transfer, and immersive learning in healthcare training.
We were honored to have distinguished speakers such as:
- Dr. Chris Dadnam, Paediatric Emergency Medicine Consultant at NHS Wales,
- Tom Wood, Clinical Lead at Resuscitation Council UK,
- Prof. Sudesh Kumar OBE, VP for Health at the University of Warwick,
- and many more,
all share their expertise and insights through thought-provoking keynotes and panel discussions. Their contributions highlighted the immense potential of emerging technologies in advancing healthcare simulation and education.
One of the key highlights of the summit was the global launch of i3 Nucleus, our pioneering VR simulation authoring tool powered by advanced AI and XR technologies. This innovative platform empowers clinicians to create immersive, interactive, and medically accurate simulations without any coding knowledge. With its intuitive no-code visual editor, conversational AI, advanced patient modeling, and extensive content library, i3 Nucleus has the potential to significantly streamline and enhance healthcare training.
The collaborative innovation labs provided a unique opportunity for attendees to work alongside our i3 Simulations product experts, exploring how emerging technologies can be leveraged to enhance specific healthcare simulation programs and initiatives. These sessions fostered a spirit of collaboration and innovation, enabling attendees to contribute to shaping the future of healthcare training.
Networking opportunities were abundant throughout the summit, with dedicated meeting spaces facilitating targeted discussions and partnerships, and end-of-day receptions providing a relaxed atmosphere for attendees to forge lasting professional connections.
