OADN Virtual Simulation Reviews
UbiSim
Summary
| Feature | Comments |
| Cost | Contact Vendor |
| Target Learner(s) | The primary target learners are pre-licensure nursing students. |
| Format(s) | Immersive VR |
| Implementation | Facilitated - up to 8 students in multiplayer option; observation mode (up to 5 additional observers in the immersive environment). Casting is available; 7x7 dedicated safe space per user required |
| Noteworthy | Scenario Library and Development: The platform includes a library of 60 scenarios, with newly added ones like Room of Errors and Deep Vein Thrombosis. The company releases 2-3 scenarios every quarter, with upcoming scenarios including CABG discharge, continuity of care, and post appendectomy. A "By the Community" library also allows access to peer-published scenarios, and updates are done yearly on all scenarios. Customization and Features: The nursing-specific platform features a scenario editor requiring no coding, allowing faculty to customize patient demographics, equipment, medications, lab results, dialogue, complex situations (like abuse disclosures or end-of-life conversations), and medical orders that unfold in real time. It is mapped to the AACN Essentials, NCSBN Clinical Judgement, and Next-Gen Test Plan, and includes Next-Gen NCLEX questions. Simulation Modes: The platform offers patented in-person and remote multiplayer capability, supporting up to 8 learners in the same scenario simultaneously. Scenarios can be synchronous (with a facilitator) or asynchronous; currently, there are 7 asynchronous tutorial scenarios. A solo mode scenario is also expected soon. Technology and Accessibility: The high-fidelity VR simulation is web-based, allowing learners to participate off-campus using a computer or VR headset (headsets are sold separately). Upcoming AI Enhancements: AI-Supported Dialogue and other AI enhancements are coming soon to improve realism, prioritize safety, and reduce faculty burdens, including AI-powered patient conversations. Additional updates launched immediately after the 04/01/26 review, including enhanced physical assessment with percussion feature. |
