S16 - Next-Level Learning: Elevating Simulation with AI-Driven Dialogue and Spatial Mixed Reality

Abstract : As healthcare education advances, innovative tools like AI-driven dialogue and spatial mixed reality (MR) are revolutionizing clinical simulations. This interactive workshop provides hands-on experience integrating these cutting-edge technologies into nursing education. AI enhances clinical decision-making by simulating real-time patient interactions, fostering critical thinking and judgment. Meanwhile, spatial MR creates immersive, 3D environments where learners can engage in lifelike simulations, practicing psychomotor skills with actual equipment in real-world contexts.

Participants will collaborate in small groups to design, implement, and evaluate AI and MR-based simulations. This workshop aligns with the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice™, ensuring that simulations are learner-centered, outcome-focused, and grounded in evidence-based practices. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with practical skills to integrate AI and MR into their curricula, enhancing learner engagement, clinical reasoning, and hands-on skills.

Whether you’re new to AI and MR or looking to refine your simulation techniques, this workshop provides a unique opportunity to explore the future of nursing education.
