Creator economy tools and AI-powered content authoring platform enable immersive, interactive hands-on training and education for healthcare professionals

TUCSON, AZ, USA, September 15, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- 8chili, Inc., a deep tech company, entered into a collaboration with the University of Arizona Health Sciences Arizona Simulation Technology and Education Center (ASTEC) in Tucson, Arizona, to test and design educational tools on the HintVR™ Virtual Reality Simulation Platform.

"We are excited to partner with 8chili, a leading innovator in the health metaverse,” said Allan Hamilton, MD, FACS, executive director of ASTEC. "ASTEC enables virtual, augmented and mixed reality technologies, including the testing and design of surgical simulation, learning and medical training technologies. 8chili’s HintVR platform innovation will complement the simulation center’s educational and research mission collaborations around a variety of procedural-based training stations.”

ASTEC engages learners at all levels of health care education by combining simulation technology with innovative methods of experiential learning theory. The 30,000-square-foot facility is equipped with a simulation deck featuring six patient rooms that can be converted to any type of hospital environment, including a full-scale operating room, intensive care unit, labor and delivery suite, and a large pharmacy. A separate 3,000-square-foot, two-story multipurpose area is utilized for large-scale, mass-casualty training events. ASTEC also includes a state-of-the-art tissue manufacturing facility, dedicated virtual reality training rooms, classrooms and a lecture hall.

Located at the AZ Weartech Applied Research Center in Phoenix, 8chili collaborates with health metaverse partners to validate various medical simulation procedures for training and education.
8chili, whose mission is to build the underlying infrastructure for metaverse content creation and distribution, has enabled more than 500 hours of 3D content creation in the last six months.

8chili’s HintVR platform powers innovations in health education, patient engagement and immersive virtual health care delivery. It is used by global education and health care institutions for training students and staff and to engage patients for pre- and post-op consultation and therapy.

“We are delighted to partner with ASTEC, a leading simulation and education center. This partnership allows us to benefit from the expertise of ASTEC’s faculty and staff for simulation learning and product development with the HintVR 3D creator economy tools,” said Aravind Upadhyaya, ceo and co-founder of 8chili, Inc. “The HintVR platform enables the easy creation of compelling training content in true 3D in the health metaverse and democratizing access to virtual reality hands-on 3D training content”
