This is a true game-changer!
Soโฆ At WebSummit, I had the opportunity to engage with the inspiring team behind Patient Ready, a game-changer in medical education. Their mission? To revolutionize clinical training using AI-powered medical training through immersive VR simulations, bridging the global shortage of healthcare professionals and improving patient safety.
๐ฌ Why Patient Ready?
With an estimated 3 million deaths annually due to avoidable clinical errors, the need for well-trained healthcare professionals has never been more urgent. Patient Ready is tackling this challenge head-on with their AI-driven virtual reality (VR) platform, enabling: โ
Hyper-realistic virtual patients that react and respond in real-time
โ
Simulation-based hands-on training aligned with global nursing curriculum standards
โ
Scalable, cost-effective education for healthcare institutions, meeting clinical training hour requirements

๐ค Highlights from WebSummit
One of the standout moments for me was the pitch by Ryan Schmaltz, Co-founder & CEO of Patient Ready. Their approach – merging gaming, AI, and VR – is truly revolutionary for clinical education. The ability to train nurses and clinicians in a risk-free, immersive environment is a game-changer for the future of healthcare.
At their booth, I had an insightful discussion with Paul Manivannan, touching on the challenges and opportunities of integrating AI into medical training and other innovations in Healthcare. Seeing the live demo of their virtual patient simulations was impressive – it felt incredibly real!

๐ Addressing the Healthcare Workforce Crisis with AI-powered medical training
By 2030, the world will need 4.5 million additional nurses to meet healthcare demands. However, systemic challenges โ such as faculty shortages and limited clinical training hoursโare preventing institutions from keeping up. Patient Readyโs R.E.A.C.T. simulation platform offers a scalable, high-fidelity solution that empowers institutions to train clinicians faster and more effectively.
