What We Do
Vcom3D, Inc., an Orlando-based, woman-owned small business,
provides immersive medical simulation and training systems based
on plug-and-play architectures with interoperable manikin, virtual
patient, and treatment modules.
Vcom3D’s commercially available products for trauma training
include its Immersive Modular PAtient Care Team Trainer
(IMPACTT™) Instructor Station. The IMPACTT™ Product line enables
learners to train in-person and/or join training sessions from remote
locations using their own PC or VR headset.
The Company offers developers the MedSim DevKit™ product, and
licenses medical simulations for Patient Monitor, Urinary Cath, Chest
tube, Ventilator, Triple IV Pump and hemorrhage leg. Vcom3D also
provides technical services for customization and integration with
third party medical simulation systems.
Vcom3D has recently integrated TacMed’s MATTi™ female trauma
manikin with Vcom3D’s Plug and Play architecture, along with
Vcom3D’s medical simulations that extend the manikin’s
capabilities.
Vcom3D has developed a Network Enabled Trainer for Combat
Casualty Care (NETC3) to train and assess critical decision making
Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). This system leverages
Augmented Reality (AR), instrumented medical treatment devices,
virtual patients, and a moving map to augment live training.
Mission & Vision
Vision
Vcom3D is committed to developing innovative technology and products that aid learning and improve performance.
Mission
Vcom3D develops simulation technologies and training systems to fill gaps in medical learning. Our immersive systems provide training environments for medical teams to improve decision making skills, patient treatment, and team performance. We develop authentic content using research-based behavioral and physiological models, engage the learner in immersive VR and AR, and assess performance in realistic simulations. Learning experiences are delivered on tablets, personal computers, virtual or augmented reality displays, and instrumented manikins and task trainers.
Approach & Focus
Vcom3D is committed to creating concepts and developing realistic training
capabilities that fill medical requirements with products that are
interoperable with other simulation systems. These capability trainers are
transportable and exportable at the Point of Need (PoN) and are cost
effective and easy to maintain and sustain with upgradable options. This
modularity provides ease of integration to any hardware that can support
virtual or physical learning.
Identify Training Gaps
Vcom3D is focused on filling gaps in medical team training, trauma intervention, and distributed multi-site training, while developing solutions to meet current and future challenges. Another objective is to enable interoperability with other medical training systems.
Create Solutions
Vcom3D provides innovative distributed learning systems, virtual simulations of medical equipment, immersive virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) based solutions, as well as virtual patients, physiology, medical manikins and part task trainers in blended reality learning solutions to train and assess patient management. Our systems are modular in design with open architectures and standards.
MedSim Focus
Vcom3D develops authentic content using research-based behavioral and physiological models, engages the learner in immersive multi-modal patient care experiences, and assesses learner performance in realistic simulations. Our Open Architectures and Interoperability design approach enables the inclusion of simulated injuries and response to treatment with other training systems across the continuum of care.
Results Oriented
Vcom3D has been a leader in research, development, assessment, and transition of learning systems and technologies for the U.S. Military since 2001 and is continuing to expand our research and development portfolio.
The Company is offering our innovative technologies to commercial markets and government training programs. Products include IMPACTT™ Team Training with options for remote training with VR headset such as Meta Quest, as well as PCs and Tablets. Learners may be geographically diverse or co-located. The Company also provides support services for customization and integration of our products with third-party products.
