Frequently asked questions about ViroteaED
How does it work?
ViroteaED is adapted for healthcare and should be seen as a complement to traditional healthcare education. The skills development is suitable for all types of healthcare functions and employment forms, such as permanent staff, new employees, summer temporary workers and management team. Delivery of the VR glasses takes only 2-4 days from order, and after that we arrange a start-up meeting either in person or digitally with a representative from the Virotea team. After that, the business itself (supervisor) is responsible for training its staff with the help of Virotea support.
Who is conducting the training?
You are responsible for training your staff according to your wishes and needs. We provide VR glasses with pre-recorded films, course materials and support, as well as tips and advice on how other customers use ViroteaED.
What is ViroteaED?
ViroteaED is a training tool designed for healthcare professionals. With ViroteaED, healthcare professionals experience the care recipient's perspective in a variety of common situations. This shift in perspective leads to increased awareness, empathy, and understanding, which in turn leads to improved staff response.
Is the content quality assured in any way?
The content and design of this VR-based training in hospitality has been carefully developed in collaboration with the Cognition Team and the Silvia Sisters in Karlstad Municipality. With their knowledge and experience in cognitive disabilities, they have quality-assured the VR training. The result is an educational experience that is both engaging and effective. Thanks to this collaboration, we can guarantee that the training gives participants tools and insights that are directly applicable in their daily work.
What is included in the package?
A training package includes two VR glasses with 4K resolution and high performance. The glasses contain 27 realistic scenarios for LSS, nursing homes and home care that illustrate when staff have both an adapted and a non-adapted approach to the care recipient in each situation. The training includes course material (the VR glasses with films) and discussion materials to help staff better apply the new knowledge.
Which areas of care are covered by ViroteaED?
ViroteaED is created for elderly care, LSS and home care and aims to support healthcare professionals in gaining an increased understanding of people with cognitive disabilities such as autism or dementia.
Does ViroteaED make you motion sick?
No, we have adapted the content to counteract this. The films are shot in a way that avoids excessive movement, which is what creates motion sickness.
Isn't VR very technical and complicated?
No, it's super simple! ViroteaED is designed to be as easy to use as possible, especially for those who have never tried Virtual Reality before. ViroteaED requires no hand controls, wires or sensors, but is controlled with a single button on the right side of the glasses.
How quickly is ViroteaED delivered?
Delivery takes approximately 2-4 days from order, but may take longer for larger orders.
Can I test the product before buying?
Absolutely! We offer a two-week free trial period, where you can test and evaluate the service in peace and quiet. After that, we send out a survey where participants can answer questions about their experience of ViroteaED, to facilitate the evaluation of ViroteaED. When the trial period is over, you return the VR equipment to us.
How many educational films are there in each area?
There are a total of 27 scenarios for LSS, elderly care and home care. All scenarios have been developed in consultation with the Silvia Sisters and the Cognition Team in Karlstad Municipality. Contact us if you want to know more!

Don't you get motion sick?
