A scalable XR tool to improve Code Blue readiness anywhere — built for Apple Vision Pro with multiplayer SharePlay, hand tracking, and real-time patient simulation
Code Blue SIM is a medical simulation app for Apple Vision Pro that trains healthcare professionals to execute life-saving cardiac arrest protocols. It combines hand-tracked interactions, real-time patient simulation, and the full AHA 2020 ACLS algorithm in an immersive spatial computing environment.
When a patient's heart stops, the clock starts ticking — but delayed action, unclear roles, and lack of training stand in the way. Traditional simulation labs cost $100k+ and lack dynamic patient feedback. Communication breakdowns are implicated in 70% of medical adverse events.
A heart-shaped foam trainer anchors the XR scenario in 3D space, replicating the exertion of real CPR with tactile haptics. Image tracking places the scene onto any surface — preserving physical authenticity at a fraction of the cost of traditional manikins.
