Can VR Help Combat Racial Bias In Emergency Situations?

The video explores how scientists at NIST are using virtual reality (VR) to improve training for pediatric emergencies. Due to the rarity of such emergencies, medical professionals often lack real-life experience. VR offers a solution by simulating high-stakes scenarios, allowing responders to practice and improve their skills. The technology also addresses implicit medical biases and can be applied to various emergency situations, providing a cost-effective training alternative. Feedback from EMTs shows VR as a valuable tool alongside traditional training methods.
