We uniquely understand how necessary effective training is to the safety and health of the public as well as limiting trauma and stress to first responders.

This is why we developed a modern training platform to immerse first responders into virtual and augmented reality training experiences.

This makes it possible for first responders to gain the necessary skills to respond in high-stress situations, enhancing their confidence and performance in these spaces with more robust training opportunities and advanced metrics proving they are mission-ready.

Examples Of VR Impact On Critical Incident Stress Management:

The ability to simulate situations that may be too expensive or dangerous in real life. These can also include medical emergencies, natural disasters, and terrorist attacks
Being able to create immersive training experience for first responders than just watching videos of the scenarios they will encounter on the job.
Virtual reality has been found to ease first responders in their anxiety surrounding high-stress situations.
VR can help with the emotional impacts of trauma, which first responders often experience from their job.
VR has also been proven to be useful in assessing mental health issues such as PTSD.

VR and Dealing With Critical Incident Stress Management!

We want to use Virtual Reality Training (VRT) to help first responders prepare for critical incident stress. We believe that the training first responders can get from using VR can give them confidence and help reduce the anxiety they might deal with from the field. Training with VR will also help with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Critical Incident Stress

The stress reaction is a normal reaction to abnormal events. If not managed it may lead to psychological disorders, such as acute stress disorder. Stress reactions can manifest immediately after the incident or up to several weeks later. A group of people experiencing the same incident may reveal patterns of critical stress reactions of different qualities and intensities. Stress reactions may manifest either immediately after. after an incident or after several weeks after it occurs, it can lead to symptoms including panic attacks, panic attacks, and depression in some cases.

Critical Incident Stress Management

Critical incident stress management is an adaptive, short-term psychological helping process that focuses solely on an immediate and identifiable problem. The purpose is to enable people to return to their daily routine more quickly and with less likelihood of experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Evidence-based reviews have concluded that CISM is ineffective for primary trauma victims, and should only be used for secondary victims such as responding emergency services personnel. CISM can be implemented with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. This is why using VR training is highly effective to execute critical incident stress management. Using virtual reality training to help our first responders manage the stress from the field and reduce the effects of (PTSD).

Incident Stress Management and Reducing Anxiety With VR

While much of the current training is passive and theoretical, there are a lot of gaps in our understanding about how people psychologically respond to different environments. We want to use Virtual Reality Training (VRT) to help first responders prepare for critical incident stress. VR training will also reduce the anxiety that these people might experience from the field and it will provide them with confidence like never before. We believe that using VRT can be a lot more practical because one of its benefits is how it creates a safer but realistic environment. How do these spaces impact emergency responders? One current hypothesis is that VRT can train people to respond better in critical situations by helping them become more accustomed to the environment and having the ability to assess their surroundings with a new set of skills. By training with this type of technology, emergency responders will be able to learn how they react and build confidence in their abilities.
