UbiSim is a TIME Best Invention of 2024!
We’re proud to announce TIME editors named UbiSim one of the 200 most extraordinary innovations changing our lives today. TIME evaluated each contender on a number of key factors, including originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact. They compiled the list with special attention to growing fields such as health care, AI, and green energy.
Here’s Why UbiSim Made TIME’s List
We Build Nurse Competence with VR Simulation
UbiSim helps educators prepare nurses for the transition to clinical practice. Full immersion virtual reality (VR) simulation provides a realistic, safe space to practice providing high-acuity, complex patient care — building essential competency and confidence before nurses step into clinical roles.
We Are a Complete Simulation-Based Education
UbiSim comes with a catalog of ready-to-go, pre-made scenarios plus an Intuitive Editor so educators can create their own scenarios in VR — no programming skills required. It also includes pre-brief materials, PEARLs Debriefing Questions, a Post-Sim Quiz, and unfolding case studies based on the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model.
We Are an Inclusive Learning Opportunity
UbiSim scenarios feature diverse patients across the lifespan. Nurse learners have the opportunity to develop competence and confidence by providing care to patients and families of various races, beliefs, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and gender identities in real-world settings.

“We have limited clinical placement availability. UbiSim has really given us the flexibility to say. ‘We didn't get to go to the hospital today. Let's go to the virtual hospital.’”
"You feel like you are in the hospital, except you are in a controlled environment, but it's real life. You see a patient that is breathing, that's talking to you, that's telling you how they feel, that's communicating with you. I feel like I'm present."
“UbiSim came fully ready to plug and play. It gives students a chance to do a physical exam and go through the steps you would take to provide treatment — giving medications, performing an EKG, assessing vital signs.”
What the Research Shows
Going from nursing school to clinical practice can be a reality shock. Immersive VR simulation helps nurses bridge the gap.
Nurses Don’t Feel Ready
42% of nurses considered quitting during their first year of work and 31% cited inadequate preparation for the realities of the job as a primary reason. Source: The Nursing Readiness Crisis Report.
Practice in VR Helps
