Healthcare staff have never had the opportunity to experience for themselves what it can be like to live with a functional variation - until now.
​
Staff in LSS residences and care for the elderly meet care recipients on a daily basis who, through their disabilities, experience the world in a diametrically different way. ViroteaED is en VR-based solution for training in healthcare where healthcare professionals can test what it's like to live with cognitive impairment such as autism and dementia.
Understanding and empathy
In order for staff in care and social care to be able to assist care recipients in the best way, they must be able to understand how a person with functional variation experiences their everyday life.

Educations
ViroteaED trains staff in how they can use educational aids within LSS, e.g. social story, voting board, etc. Staff in elderly care learn to deal with e.g. loneliness, delusions and how to best adapt a living environment.
