- GigXR, Inc., a global provider of holographic healthcare training, announced the release of a new Basic Life Support (BSL) module for its HoloScenarios mixed reality application. Created in partnership with Morlen Health, a subsidiary of Northwest Permanente, P.C., the hyper-immersive holographic training module delivers lifelike realism to enhance learning and retention of critical skills required to provide Basic Life Support. The new module—HoloScenarios: Basic Life Support—uses mixed reality to accurately simulate the urgency of providing immediate care to a patient requiring Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) or use of an automated external defibrillator (AED). Learners can see and interact with both a hyper-realistic hologram patient experiencing cardiac arrest and the medical equipment, such as AED devices. Delivered by the Gig Immersive Learning Platform, the module provides the option for instructors to remotely train first responders, healthcare providers, medical and nursing students, public safety professionals, and community members. Learners can join lessons from the same or disparate physical locations while seeing the same hologram.

Another part of this update is Workbot, a cloud-based tool designed to streamline workflow and communication with Applaud digital services directly within Teams.
