Immersion
Virtual reality scenarios
Place learners inside repeatable clinical environments designed around concrete learning objectives.
Clinical training, reimagined
Immersive learning for real-world clinical care.
COPES brings virtual reality, intelligent patient interaction, procedural practice, coaching, and assessment into one connected training environment.
The COPES platform
Clinical learning organized around one connected experience.
Instead of treating communication, examination, procedures, and feedback as separate activities, COPES brings them together inside the same simulation.
Communication
Interactive virtual patients
Let learners communicate naturally while patient dialogue and behavior respond to the clinical scenario.
Practice
Procedural interaction
Connect physical examination, instrument handling, clinical actions, and scenario progression.
Learning
Coaching and assessment
Capture meaningful actions and communication to support feedback, reflection, and structured evaluation.
A complete learning loop
From clinical context to deliberate practice.
Receive the case
Start with the patient context, learning objectives, and clinical situation.
Interact
Speak with the patient, inspect the environment, and make clinical decisions.
Perform
Carry out examinations and procedural actions using the tools available in the scenario.
Review
Use coaching, assessment, and performance data to guide the next attempt.
Why COPES
Built to complement resource-intensive clinical training.
Faculty time, standardized patients, manikins, cadavers, and specialized facilities are valuable but finite. COPES is designed to complement those resources with scenarios learners can revisit and institutions can extend.
Follow the developmentRepeatable
Deliver consistent scenarios across repeated attempts and learner cohorts.
Connected
Treat communication, behavior, clinical actions, and feedback as one workflow.
Extensible
Add new procedures, patients, environments, and assessment requirements over time.
Research-ready
Support systematic study of learner interaction, performance, and technology-mediated instruction.
