Key features for effective CPR training

Hand tracking

Virtual Life Support is intuitive to use. Most VR applications rely on specialized VR controllers. However, performing high-quality CPR with controllers is impractical. Instead, all interactions are performed using your hands.

You use your hand in VR as you would in real life. How else can you train your CPR skills?

Accurate measurement

Virtual Life Support offers real-time measurement of chest compression depth and frequency, giving you immediate feedback on your CPR performance.

While you can practice on a manikin or other object, using a manikin ensures the most accurate results for your training.

Consistent with international resuscitation standards

Virtual Life Support strictly adheres to the ERC Basic Life Support guidelines . 

For the Dutch version, it follows the NRR guidelines to ensure trainees are learning CPR according to nationally recognized standards.

Train with multiple realistic scenarios

Cardiac arrests rarely happen in ideal or predictable circumstances. Virtual Life Support prepares trainees for real-world situations by offering training in multiple realistic scenarios.

Each scenario introduces different environments, distractions, and contextual challenges. This allows trainees to practice not only CPR technique, but also decision-making, situational awareness, and staying focused under pressure.

Multiple scenarios are available in the Standard and Pro configurations. Advanced Pro scenarios will be added over time.

Realistic AED integration

In addition to practicing CPR without an AED, Virtual Life Support includes training with a fully integrated virtual AED.

This digital twin of the ZOLL AED 3® replicates the real device, featuring authentic audio prompts and visual guidance to provide a lifelike training experience.

Save training results

You can upload your training results directly from your VR headset to our dedicated Virtual Life Support website. Once uploaded, your results can be securely retrieved using a unique code and conveniently exported to a PDF format. This streamlined process enables you to effortlessly track your performance and share your progress with mentors, colleagues, or certification programs.

Connected Manikin

For the highest level of realism and measurement accuracy, Virtual Life Support in the Pro configuration can connect directly to supported CPR manikins via Bluetooth.

By combining real-world sensor data from the manikin with precise tracking inside the VR headset, trainees receive immediate, highly accurate feedback on compression depth, rate and ventilation. This creates a seamless blend of physical practice and immersive simulation — without changing existing training setups.

Virtual Life Support currently supports connecting to Laerdal QCPR models. More manikin brands will be supported in future releases.

Alternative solutions like SimCPR Pro Trainer can also be used and are supported as an optional setup.
