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

**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).
