Over the course of the hackathon, they created a simulation that showed the viewer pushing a gurney down the hallway and encountering a rude colleague. The simulation pauses and gives the viewer four response options. This tests the clinician’s communication impulses in a realistic setting, mimicking the high-stress and fast-paced environment of the hospital. The team presented this as a behavior modification tool that would be more effective and less expensive than the current seminars used to train health professionals.
As the first place winner, SimVR received $2500, a month of free incubation at the MD Idea Lab, a meeting with venture capitalist Neil Chheda, and an extra surprise—Dell tablets, courtesy of Major League Hacking.
