PPE Training Simulator

Hand hygiene is the first step of the PPE online training to avoid health hazards. It is based on CDC guidelines and provides washing hands with soap and water for at least 1 minute. The VR training contains 14 steps and helps clean hands precisely. The training utilizes motion capture technology and gloves with controllers for very accurate hand recognition and the ability to provide healthcare personnel with feedback on how accurately and correctly steps of handwashing are performed. The next stage is PPE donning, which involves the correct performing of gowning and gloving. The VR experience shows and then verifies in which order you perform putting on key personal protective equipment: isolation gown, NIOSH-approved N95 filtering facepiece respirator, face shield, and gloves. Doffing is the last and most significant stage of PPE due to the high patient and occupational safety risks of contamination for COVID-19 and other bacteria. There are several alternatives to removing and disposing of protective equipment to prevent skin, clothes, or membranes from infecting. The PPE training course teaches healthcare professionals to don PPE in the order: gloves, face shield, gown, and respirator. The last step is to wash hands properly. This doffing approach is based on the CDC guidelines. Successful execution of this PPE online training will fulfill the requirement for PPE training for healthcare workers and earn a certificate of completion.
