The tool automates patient and team interactions in scenario-based training while allowing educators to monitor and intervene.

SimX has introduced AI Assistant, an AI-powered capability within its platform that enables healthcare educators to scale immersive, team-based simulation without increasing staffing costs or compromising quality.

AI Assistant Orders and Actions.

AI Assistant automates patient and multi-character interactions within SimX’s high-fidelity VR scenarios while keeping educators fully in control. Nursing programs, medical schools, healthcare systems, and training institutions can now expand access to simulation and reduce cost per learner without sacrificing rigor.

Traditional simulation-based education is resource-intensive. Facilitators spend significant time managing scenarios, role-playing patients, and coordinating team interactions. AI Assistant removes that bottleneck by automating real-time dialogue and character behaviors across entire scenarios.

Unlike generic AI tools, AI Assistant operates within strict, curriculum-aligned parameters, delivering consistent, repeatable experiences that meet accreditation and competency standards. Educators can observe, guide, and intervene at any point, maintaining full oversight while shifting their focus to high-value coaching and debriefing.

The platform supports multi-character dynamic scenarios with AI-controlled patients, family members, and care team participants, simultaneous multi-learner experiences that mirror real clinical environments, and room-scale VR training that builds both technical and interpersonal skills. By automating execution while preserving realism and control, institutions can run more sessions, train larger cohorts, and expand access to high-quality simulation without proportional increases in cost or staffing.

Built for universities, healthcare systems, EMS programs, and military medical training, AI Assistant includes safeguards that ensure predictable, scenario-bound behavior, eliminating the variability risks common with general-purpose AI tools. AI Assistant is now available on the SimX platform.
