Company Info
- Company Description
- Based out of Calgary, Canada and with a global team, Kaleidoscope XR's vision is to Enhance the human experience with technology for the greater good of all. We do this by developing live multiuser Virtual Reality (VR) solutions for Healthcare and Training.
To address the growing aging population which is projected to double from 703 million in 2019 to 1.5 billion globally by 2050, and the need for well trained caregivers, we will be launching Caregiver VR in April 2023. Caregiver VR is a VR/Desktop platform that enables live role-playing simulations between Teachers (subject matter experts) and trainees role-playing as caregivers and patients in front of a virtual classroom. This platform also helps end-users practice interactions with and experience the world from the perspective of those experiencing dementia and aging.
The Caregiver VR platform is designed with the following goals: help caregivers share core soft skills, and hard skills in a hands-on manner globally, reduce training costs, increase accessibility to subject matter experts, and finally increase caregiver expertise and capacity, all of which will lead to better healthcare outcomes for patients and our loved ones.
