Simulating Real-World Stress, Anxiety,
and Time Pressure

• Mannequin training lacks cost-effectiveness & realism
• Monitor movement, speech & anxiety (heart rate)
• Team analytics per session identify mistakes

iREACT: 270-Physician Cardiac-Arrest VR Trial

• VR Recorder captures full 3D session reconstruction

Clinical Validation: iREACT Cardiac-Arrest Team Training

Clinician Evaluation (rated 1–5)

Resident physicians (n=5) on the hospital cardiac-arrest team and 12 ACLS experts rated iREACT on a 1–5 scale. Willingness to recommend (4.0) and educational value (3.6) scored highest, validating the simulation’s training value.

unique cognitive processes mapped in cardiac-arrest care

250

A cognitive task analysis mapped 250 unique cognitive processes in cardiac-arrest care. iREACT captures timestamped actions, eye-gaze, heart rate, cognitive load (HP Omnicept) and closed-loop communication — enabling objective CRM assessment. Full clinical trial ongoing at U-Michigan Medicine (270 physicians, 12 months).
