Introducing Multiplayer Feature
The Body Interact Team is thrilled to introduce our new Multiplayer feature, designed to enhance the training of multidisciplinary teams and promote clinical reasoning and decision-making skills.
Body Interact is a virtual patient simulator designed to enhance the clinical skills of healthcare professionals. The platform’s multiplayer feature facilitates the training of multidisciplinary teams by allowing multiple users to interact with the same virtual patient scenario simultaneously despite their location. Across the world, training is possible thanks to this feature.
This collaborative environment is crucial for improving teamwork, communication, and decision-making skills in a clinical setting.
Benefits of Multiplayer in Multidisciplinary Team Training
After understanding the importance of training multidisciplinary teams in healthcare, you can now explore the different benefits aligned with this pedagogical opportunity:
Enhanced Communication Skills
Encourages real-time communication and collaboration among team members. Simulates real-world scenarios where effective communication is critical for patient care.
Improved Teamwork and Collaboration
Allows team members from different disciplines (e.g., doctors, nurses, pharmacists) to work together. Promotes understanding of each other’s roles and responsibilities.
Realistic Scenario-Based Learning
Provides a realistic environment where teams can practice handling complex clinical cases.
Immediate Feedback and Reflection
Offers immediate feedback on clinical decisions and actions taken during the simulation. Facilitates post-simulation debriefing sessions where teams can reflect on their performance.
Development of Critical Thinking and Decision-Making Skills
Challenges teams to think critically and make decisions under pressure. Enhances problem-solving skills by simulating unexpected complications and emergencies.
Collaborative Clinical Simulations with Body Interact
Synchronous Interaction
Multiple users can interact with the same virtual patient in real-time. Actions taken by one team member are visible to others, promoting a coordinated approach to patient care.
Role-Based Participation
Users can assume different roles (e.g., physician, nurse, technician) within the simulation. Role-specific tasks and responsibilities are integrated into the scenarios.
Tracks team performance
Provides detailed reports that can be used for assessment and improvement. Teams can reflect n their performance and identify gaps.
How does the Body Interact Multiplayer work?
- Ensure all users in the same multiplayer session are using the same BI version.
- Up to four participants can join a multiplayer session simultaneously.
- Accessible on any device.
- Set up a session in BI Studio. Enable the multiplayer option.
- Choose the clinical scenarios to be used.
- Resilience and response to adversity
- Add your students to the session.
