Description

Inspire is looking to develop a fully immersive virtual reality (VR) assessment tool (the “Virtual Assessment Tool”) that integrates VR and auto-scoring technologies. The goal is to create a fully interactive, user-ready product within a VR environment that meets the scope and parameters outlined below. The Virtual Assessment Tool will be used to assess nursing skills and competencies, based on Inspire’s Nursing Competency Framework, and will provide a highly engaging, realistic, and immersive experience for users.

The Virtual Assessment Tool will consist of six key components:
1. VR front-end (Scenario Content)
2. VR back-end (System Infrastructure and Implementation)
3. Exam Delivery (remote/global access)
4. Data Flow and API Integration
5. Scoring Module
6. Report Generation (can integrate with Inspire’s CRM platform (Shift iQ)’s PR generation feature)
