Labster Expands Into Clinical Nursing Education with UbiSim Acquisition

Labster has signed a definitive agreement to acquire UbiSim, the virtual reality training platform for nursing.

Labster, founded in Denmark in 2012, is a learning platform with an ecosystem of science learning resources, including a metaverse of virtual science simulations, lab manuals, lab reports, and 3D animated videos. Instructors who have tracked the impact of Labster virtual labs in their courses report that students' learning outcomes improved by an average of one letter grade, enabling more students to persist in critical courses rather than dropping out of science early in their academic careers.

UbiSim, founded in Switzerland in 2017, offers immersive virtual training simulations for nurses and healthcare providers, putting them at the forefront of the increasing tech revolution in health care. Their immersive VR training platform enables nursing students to develop clinical reasoning, collaboration and communication skills by engaging with real world scenarios and lifelike patients in a safe learning environment.

"Combining UbiSim real-world nursing scenarios and Labster immersive science simulations provides nursing educators and institutions with an unmatched range of content and tools to improve student engagement and outcomes,"  said Gauthier Dubruel, Co-Founder of UbiSim.
