What UbiSim is
UbiSim is an immersive VR clinical simulation platform for nursing education and workforce development. Its peer-reviewed catalog covers medical-surgical nursing, pediatrics, obstetrics, and mental health in inpatient and outpatient settings. Educators can create or adapt scenarios with a no-code editor, and sessions may be facilitator-led, independent, peer-to-peer, observation-based, or multiplayer, with up to three active learners. A learning sequence can include prebriefing, simulation, and debriefing, plus reflection, quizzes, and web replay. Listed AI features include simulation options, patient dialogue, and performance reports. UbiSim says its scenarios align with several nursing education and clinical judgment standards, including the Next Generation NCLEX-RN test plan and AACN Essentials. The VR app supports Meta Quest 2, Quest Pro, and Quest 3; facilitation requires a computer using Windows, macOS, or ChromeOS and the latest Chrome browser. Qualified buyers can request a free trial; no trial duration is stated. Implementation is a separate one-time package, and the help guide identifies Microsoft Entra ID as the only supported SSO provider in Version 1.20.
