Manchester-based Near-life has completed a pilot project to help emergency medical teams, supported by the World Health Organisation.
The edtech company used its interactive video platform to produce an immersive learning programme based around WHO’s Blue Book Guidelines.
The course will help to establish best practice and standards across the international responder community.
Using web-based VR technology, it means the learning scenarios don’t need additional hardware and can be played through a mobile phone app.
The project has been backed by Innovate UK and the former Department for International Development.
