Virtual Life Support offers an immersive and realistic Virtual Reality CPR training experience. It is a "Virtual Reality CPR training module that prepares people to provide CPR in the real world.

Existing CPR courses let you train your technique, but no amount of classroom training can truly prepare you for encountering someone unconscious on the ground.

With virtual reality we can close the gap between classroom training and the real world unlike any other tool, giving people the confidence to act when there is a life on the line." (VR Lab B.V., 2025b).

Key Features

Hand tracking

"Virtual Life Support is intuitive to use. Most VR applications rely on specialized VR controllers.

However, performing high-quality CPR with controllers is impractical. Instead, all interactions are performed using your hands.

You use your hand in VR as you would in real life. How else can you train your CPR skills?" (VR Lab B.V., 2025a).

Accurate measurement

"Virtual Life Support offers real-time measurement of chest compression depth and frequency, giving you immediate feedback on your CPR performance.

While you can practice on a manikin or other object, using a manikin ensures the most accurate results for your training." (VR Lab B.V., 2025a).

Consistent with international resuscitation standards

"Virtual Life Support strictly adheres to the ERC Basic Life Support guidelines.

For the Dutch version, it follows the NRR guidelines to ensure trainees are learning CPR according to nationally recognized standards." (VR Lab B.V., 2025a).

Realistic AED integration

"In addition to practicing CPR without an AED, Virtual Life Support includes training with a fully integrated virtual AED.

This digital twin of the ZOLL AED 3® replicates the real device, featuring authentic audio prompts and visual guidance to provide a lifelike training experience." (VR Lab B.V., 2025a).

Save training results

"You can upload your training results directly from your VR headset to our dedicated Virtual Life Support website. Once uploaded, your results can be securely retrieved using a unique code and conveniently exported to a PDF format. This streamlined process enables you to effortlessly track your performance and share your progress with mentors, colleagues, or certification programs." (VR Lab B.V., 2025a).

Integration of the SimCPR® Pro Trainer

"The SimCPR is a clever device, worn on the wrist, that contains smart sensors to measure CPR performance. When you use a SimCPR we combine its sensor data and sensor data from the VR headset to deliver the most accurate measurements and visually accurate feedback.

The (optional) integration of SimCPR in Virtual Life Support offers a level of accuracy and feedback that was previously unattainable. SimCPR is seamlessly integrated into Virtual Life Support, ensuring a cohesive and immersive training environment." (VR Lab B.V., 2025a).
