Who is Virtual Life Support for?

Virtual Life Support is used in a wide range of CPR training contexts — from laypeople and first responders to healthcare professionals. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, the platform is configured to match the training goals, setting, and required level of accuracy.

Virtual Life Support is typically used in combination with a physical CPR training manikin to support realistic hands-on CPR practice.

Below you’ll find how Virtual Life Support is typically used across different audiences.

Public & workplace

First aid training for the public and workplace settings

Training needs

Recognize cardiac arrest quickly
Start CPR with confidence
Follow the correct CPR sequence under pressure

How Virtual Life Support supports this

Immersive VR scenarios that place learners in realistic emergency situations
Focus on awareness, decision-making, and correct actions
Used in combination with a standard CPR training manikin, without electronic sensors or connectivity.

Virtual Life Support helps first-time responders move beyond theory and prepare for the moment when it really matters.

Typical configuration
These use cases are typically supported with the Standard configuration.

Education

Secondary, vocational and higher education

Training needs

Repeated CPR practice at scale
Preparing students for real-world situations
Supporting instructors with flexible training tools

How Virtual Life Support supports this

Suitable for classroom, skills lab, and self-directed training
Enables low-dose, high-frequency practice without constant instructor presence
Complements traditional CPR education with immersive, scenario-based experience
Training is performed on a physical manikin, ensuring realistic hands-on CPR practice.

Typical configuration
Depending on training depth and assessment needs, institutions use the Standard or Pro configuration.

Healthcare

Healthcare education, professional training, and emergency response

Training needs

Objective assessment of CPR quality
Accurate measurement of compressions and ventilations
Training in clinically relevant scenarios

How Virtual Life Support supports this

Uses physical CPR training manikins together with sensor data to objectively measure compression and ventilation quality
Measures ventilations when supported by the manikin
Supports advanced scenarios, such as in-hospital Basic Life Support (planned for version 2.3)

Connected Manikin technology

In this configuration, Virtual Life Support connects to compatible manikins, such as Laerdal QCPR models. This enables objective, sensor-based assessment aligned with existing clinical training practices. Support for additional manikins will be added over time.

Typical configuration
To meet the accuracy and assessment requirements of healthcare education and professional training, Virtual Life Support is used in the Pro configuration.

Enterprise training

Partner-led and bundled training solutions

Training needs

Scalable CPR training across multiple locations or customers
Easy deployment as part of a broader training or safety solution
Flexible configurations that fit different training depths and use cases

How Virtual Life Support supports this

Designed to be bundled with existing training, hardware, or safety solutions
Can be delivered in a streamlined setup or expanded over time
Supports consistent training experiences across organizations and regions

Typical configuration
Enterprise and partner-led training programs often start with the Essentials configuration and can be upgraded to Standard or Pro as training needs evolve.

Virtual Life Support configurations

Virtual Life Support is configured to match the training context. The configuration determines how CPR performance is measured and which scenarios are available.

Below is an overview of how Virtual Life Support is typically configured across training contexts.


Public & workplace first aid	Standard
Public & workplace first aid (skills assessment)	Pro
Education (basic CPR training)	Standard
Education (skills assessment)	Pro
Healthcare education & professionals	Pro
Partner-bundled entry programs	Essentials

Essentials

In addition to Standard and Pro, Virtual Life Support is also available as an Essentials configuration.

Essentials is a streamlined configuration of Virtual Life Support that includes a single CPR scenario. It is available exclusively through selected partners as part of bundled training solutions and is not offered as a standalone license.

Essentials installations can be upgraded to Standard or Pro, allowing organizations to expand scenarios and measurement capabilities as their training needs evolve.
