Simulation developer BlueRoom has partnered with international healthcare solution provider Aspen Medical to introduce mixed-reality simulation technology into the military healthcare training.
The partnership, announced earlier this month on February 19, combines Aspen Medical’s expertise in training and capability development with the advanced MR simulation capabilities of BlueRoom.
The collaboration is expected to enable health professionals and first responders to refine critical skills and maintain operational readiness in immersive, realistic scenarios, with significant benefits in cost, productivity, and capability enhancement.
“Training in real-world military environments can be costly and logistically challenging. Our collaboration with BlueRoom allows us to bridge that gap, offering high-fidelity, scenario-based training that enhances medical competencies in a highly efficient and scalable way,” said Al Martin, Chief Partnerships Officer at Aspen Medical.
“This technology allows military medics and healthcare professionals to sharpen their
skills in environments that closely replicate real-world conditions, preparing them to operate effectively under pressure.”
The partnership is expected to focus on allowing military medics and first responders to train in high-risk environment scenarios like aircraft and combat zones.
MR technology is expected to allow trainees to practice medical procedures like IV cannulation and airway management using real equipment in dynamic, controlled environments, enhancing skill retention and readiness.
BlueRoom’s MR Simulator allows trainees to use their own hands to interact with real equipment in a virtual space—eliminating the need for controllers and enhancing precision in medical procedures such as IV cannulation, airway management, and surgical interventions.
“We are thrilled to sign this agreement with Aspen Medical, another innovative Australian company, that we know will strengthen military medical training capability around the world,” said Benjamin Krynski, CEO at BlueRoom.
“Aspen Medical will join our existing partner Leader Healthcare in the region whose technical, engineering and market experience will complement this initiative to bring our cutting
edge capability to the end user.”
