🏥📱A mother rushes into the ER with an unresponsive 9-month-old baby boy after a fall.

🎓 What is your next move in this immersive training simulation on pedxr.com?

You are the child nurse responsible for the mother and child; you must assess his neurological condition for a potential trauma brain injury (TBI):

🔹Scale Selection: Recognizing why pre-verbal children under 2 years require the Modified Glasgow Coma Scale for infants and children over the standard GCS.

🔹 Clinical Decision-Making: Safely applying a pain stimulus

🔹 Real-Time Scoring: Assessing eye-opening (2), verbal response (3), and motor response (4) based on virtual patient feedback.

🔹 Immediate Action: Recognizing a moderate head trauma score and prioritizing vital signs + calling the paediatrician over secondary data collection.

Immersive XR gives student nurses the freedom to make critical choices, learn from instant feedback, and repeat complex scenarios until confidence is 100%.

🚲 A 9-year-old boy arrives at the Emergency Department (ED) after a bicycle accident. He has been vomiting, and he appears dizzy and confused. You are the child triage nurse at the ED. What is your next move in this immersive training scenario on pedxr.com?

In this simulation, students must act fast to assess a potential trauma brain injury (TBI):

🔹 Task 1: Perform A to E assessment and choose the right assessment tools (e.g. for a 9-year-old child, do you use the standard Glasgow Coma Scale or the Paediatric version?).

🔹 Task 2: Choose the right assessment tools (e.g. for a 9-year-old child, do you use the standard Glasgow Coma Scale or the Paediatric version?). The boy is moaning, disoriented, but opens his eyes when spoken to and localizes his headache.

🔹 Task 3: Determine the immediate next steps for safe admission and neurological monitoring.

By bringing these critical ED scenarios to life in virtual reality, pedxr.com bridges the gap between theory and practice and enhance the confidence and clinical judgment in the next generation of paediatric nurses. 🩺✨

An incredible, edifying experience in Paris! 🇫🇷✨

Last month, PeDXR partners Katrin De Winter (Thomas More), Christiana Nicolaou (Cyprus University of Technology), Vasiliki Mantziou, Barbara Mpoutopulou (University of Athens) and Eleni Tamvaki (Hellenic Paediatric Association) attended the 7th Paediatric Nursing Association of Europe (PNAE) congress, hosted by the French National Association of Paediatric Nurses and Students (ANPDE).

Aligned with PNAE’s mission to enhance care for children and adolescents across Europe, the congress was a hub of fascinating new developments, keynote insights, and hands-on simulation sessions. 🩺💡

A major highlight? Katrin presented and demonstrated the PeDXR platform, showing how Extended Reality (XR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are revolutionizing training for student nurses in paediatric care. The response was incredible, sparking a thousand questions and brilliant conversations! 🚀

The PeDXR partners also joined forces with representatives of the Erasmus+ VLPN project (Christiana Nicolaou - Cyprus University of Technology / Τεχνολογικό Πανεπιστήμιο Κύπρου, Ave Kõrve-Noorkõiv, Siret Läänelaid, and Rasmus Casper Kõrve - Tartu Tervishoiu Kõrgkool / Tartu Applied Health Sciences University, Paivi Matikainen and Mirka Toivonen - Turun ammattikorkeakoulu) to deliver a workshop that gave participants the opportunity to explore how immersive technologies can enhance paediatric nursing education.🥽

It was wonderful catching up with old friends and forging new connections. PeDXR is looking forward to continuing these vital conversations with our European colleagues to further the care and wellbeing of children everywhere. 🌍👶❤️

🤏 In Extended Reality training, the first skill isn’t clinical, it’s learning how to control the virtual environment itself. On the PEDXR platform, the foundational interaction is the pinch gesture, a simple motion that unlocks the entire ᯅ VR experience for educators and student nurses.

The pinch gesture teaches you how to start and stop the scenarios and refocus the canvases toward your head position aligning smoothly to where you are looking.

Mastering this gesture is a key part of digital fluency. When educators and students feel comfortable with the mechanics of VR, they can focus fully on 🧑‍⚕️ clinical reasoning, communication, and decision‑making, exactly what PEDXR is designed to strengthen 🏋️.

✨ PeDXR in Action!

Technology is no longer the future of healthcare — it’s the present. From digital patient records to immersive simulations, today’s nurses must confidently and critically integrate technology into everyday practice.

To bring these developments closer to students, Campus Lier Thomas More organised a Next Level Nursing Inspiration Day for nursing students from first to final year. The programme combined keynote sessions in the morning with interactive workshops and an experiential innovation fair in the afternoon — creating the perfect balance between reflection and hands-on learning.

At the innovation fair, Katrin De Winter showcased the PeDXR project and invited students to explore preliminary Extended Reality (XR) scenarios. These immersive experiences showcased how XR can support clinical reasoning, strengthen communication skills, and enhance patient safety awareness in nursing education.

Students described the experience as both valuable and enjoyable — proving that when innovation is meaningfully embedded in education, it truly enhances engagement and prepares future nurses for an evolving healthcare landscape.

💡 The future of nursing education is immersive, interactive, and already here.

🧑‍🍼🧑‍⚕️How does PeDXR prepare student nurses to support not just the child but the parent too?

With PeDXR Extended Reality Application, learners step into a realistic XR scenario focused on one of the most critical skills in paediatric care: educating parents and caregivers🎓.

👃 In this XR simulation, you are the pediatric nurse who will guide Maria, the mother of 6-month-old Alex, through safe and effective nasal suctioning at home for moderate nasal congestion, related to mild bronchiolitis. From professional introductions and patient identification to hygiene instructions, every discussion reinforces empathy, safety, and clear communication💬.

This scenario highlights the importance of instructing, guiding, and empowering parents, a core competency in pediatric nursing that directly impacts outcomes beyond the clinic. 🏋️

Stay tuned! Coming next: a hands-on demonstration of the nasal suctioning technique in XR.
