Wolters Kluwer, Health, a leading global provider of information and point of care solutions for the healthcare industry, has announced a new collaboration with Take the Wind, the company behind the leading digital simulation platform Body Interact, to help expand virtual training tools and resources for medical and physician assistant students. The offering allows students to interact with virtual patients in life-like scenarios, where they are encouraged to assess, order tests, and diagnose in a safe environment.
With this partnership, Wolters Kluwer takes the gold-standard of clinical skills training, Bates' Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking, to the next level for medical students, allowing them to practice clinical reasoning within real-world, timed patient scenarios that provide instantaneous feedback. Augmenting the learning from evidence-based Bates’ suite of offerings with simulation allows for higher-order learning and digital transformation for those training to become medical doctors, osteopathic physicians, physician assistants, occupational and physical therapists, and pharmacists. Both products are easily integrated into the curriculum to provide assessable and assignable clinical skills and reasoning solutions that enhance lab experiences to prepare students for real patient encounters.
Together, Wolters Kluwer and Body Interact include a diverse and wide range of different patient types to meet the learning needs of students today. With hundreds of expert-reviewed clinical scenarios in multiple languages in Body Interact, students across the healthcare spectrum will be better prepared for clinical encounters with their first patients.
Wolters Kluwer will be showcasing Body Interact and the latest simulation and virtual reality innovations at the upcoming International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare (IMSH) held January 21-25, 2023, in Orlando, Florida.
Take The Wind is a specialist technology leader in the virtual medical simulation market, serving medical, nursing, community colleges & high schools, scientific societies, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies globally. The Coimbra, Portugal based company operates primarily under the Body Interact brand that simulates real world scenarios via thousands of clinical cases, dynamically integrating multiple internal and external drivers of patients’ health conditions. The product is available in 8 languages and currently serves over 220,000 users in over 50 countries.
