Innovative educational content that increases student engagement and improves learning outcomes.

Immersive Experiences Lock in Learning

With Embodied Labs, students learn what it’s like to have a disease or impairment through first-person virtual experience. This immersive educational experience improves learning outcomes and helps students retain knowledge.

Build a Reputation for Innovation

Offer your faculty and students the opportunity to work with leading technology and award-winning immersive content through Embodied Labs. Our content enhances your curriculum by providing unique, immersive experiences for students through individual, group or distance learning.

Help Students Build Empathy and Understanding

Most students have never experienced conditions like macular degeneration or Alzheimer’s, but with Embodied Labs, they can get first-hand experience that simulates these common senior conditions. Through that experience, students learn empathy for seniors, as well as building knowledge about their conditions.

Academic Program Case Study

Engaging Students With Experiential Learning

The University of New England was Embodied Labs’ first customer in 2016. They started by using Embodied Labs experiences with their osteopathic medical students on one campus, and have since expanded to using labs with medical, nursing, physician assistant, and PT/OT students across both of their campuses.

Faculty value being able to incorporate technology into their curriculum and engage students with experiential learning. They also value the content of the experiences themselves, which utilize the power of immersive to put students into 1st-person realistic scenarios with which they would not otherwise be able to engage. Students are now used to simulations as part of their healthcare curriculum, but Embodied Labs’ immersive experiences give them a feeling of presence and reality from the point of view of the patient that is unlike anything else they have experienced. Medical, nursing, and other allied health professions commonly wish to provide more geriatrics education in their curriculum, but are often unable to due to time. Embodied Labs has a robust content library such that these experiences can be incorporated across the curriculum, fast-tracking knowledge and understanding in the most relevant issues pertaining to older adults.

What Customers are Saying

I thought the loss of sensation with the visual as well as the hearing impairment was very helpful and educational to see it from the first-person point of view. I really appreciated how we were actually in a lot of the settings that a person would encounter, like the dinner or the clinic, or in front of the doctor.

When you read from a textbook, you build a picture in your head...but it's not the same as VR. This program does a good job of putting you in the person's shoes.

Embodied Labs immersive experiences give students more lived knowledge about what their older adult patients go through than anything I could ever teach in the classroom.

Dr. Marilyn Gugliucci, Professor, UNE's Osteopathic School of Medicine

What the VR labs provided our students was the chance to embody the patient experience which, in effect, humanized the patient for the students. Instead of reading about a case study of a patient with progressive Alzheimer's, they became the patient with progressive Alzheimer's.

In the future, students working in a clinical setting will hopefully have more empathy, compassion, and understanding for their clients because they may see that patient as a complex person instead of a clinical diagnosis alone.

By third year, med students will have lost 89% of their empathy? [Embodied Labs] is a good way to combat that.
