The Zoll defibrillator trainer was developed to allow clinicians to practice utilising digital twins of two of Zoll Medicals most widely used defibrillators the X and R series. Clinicians can learn and practice core defibrillator skills including Defibrillation, Pacing and Cardioversion in immersive VR based environments.
The Zoll Trainers
The ALS-SimVR application is designed to provide leader training for clinicians managing a patient in a cardiac arrest., which allows a clinician to take the headset home and practice managing a patient in a cardiac arrest in the location and time of their choosing. They do this by directing a virtual team in all the tasks required of a team managing a patient in this state. Rhythm interpretation, drug doses, pathology results, ABG results are all randomised to increase replicability for the user. Key skills of ALS management are also available as skills trainers within the application including handover practice, defibrillation, cardioversion and pacing and more in development.

ALS-SimVR: Advanced Life Support Virtual Reality Training Application
All members of the ALS team are present and able to have commonly required tasks allocated to them.
Decisions made within the application are graded against the Australian Resuscitation Council Advanced Life Support guidelines. Randomisation of the cardiac rhythms and other patient pathology allow for increased replay ability and variation in management strategies.
The user can allocate a team member to perform all common parts of a patient assessment, using the A-G and A-E assessment frameworks.
Randomisation of the cardiac rhythm and recording of user performance against key KPIs allows the user to practice the real time interpretation of cardiac rhythms in the setting of a cardiac arrest.
Common ALS medications are available for administration by the team and the medication administration is graded against the ARC council guidelines depending if the patient is on the shockable or non-shockable side of the algorithm.
Randomised arterial blood gasses are available for interpretation by the team leader, which will have an impact on which reversible causes of cardiac arrest are marked correct.
Randomised ECGs are available for interpretation by the team leader, which will have an impact on which reversable causes of cardiac arrest are marked correct.
All decisions made within the scenario are recorded in realtime and made available for review by the user by referring to the scribe nurses resuscitation chart.
In the skill trainer section of ALS-SimVR interactive models of both the X Series or R series ZOLL defibrillators have been created to allow the user to familiarise themselves with their use.
Using a randomised set of patients and required clinical handovers the user can practice discerning the required information for the prescribed handover, verbally give the handover to a virtual clinician and then replay that handover back to themselves whilst reflecting on the provided information with the prompt of an ISBAR cognitive aide.
All performance within the application is recorded including in-app time, number of playthroughs, user demographics and also key KPIs such as off chest time, defibrillation accuracy, medication accuracy and reversible causes.
This information is then made available to the user both at the completion of a scenario but also via their own personal dashboard on the FRLE website allowing review of individual playthroughs and performance change over time. Users can also be grouped into classrooms allowing instructors to have overviews of class performance prior or following face to face training.
Press "Ctrl + E" or "Cmd + E" in the Designer and enable "Select on-page element".
Search for the class named, "Cloneable Area".
Copy the element inside this container to your own project.
Rename the classes accordingly if they are clashing with your project.
Ensure custom code from the in-page setting has been copied into your project as well (if there's any).
'Page Trigger' interaction can't be copied directly. You can only clone the whole project, or rebuild it.
A simple trick to copy the 'Page Trigger' interaction into another project is as below:
1. Create a dummy element.
2. Apply any type of 'Element trigger' into the dummy element and select the 'Page Trigger' animation.
3. Copy the dummy element with the animations applied into your new project.
4. The animation should have been copied into your project and you can reapply the 'Page Trigger' animation into your project.

Lastly, please do not copy this project and claim it as your own. We wish to continue sharing and giving to the community. In order to do so, we will need your cooperation and full support. Thank you very much,
