    FacilityApps · VR training for hospitals

    Train your cleaning team with VR. Practice in a virtual hospital.

    An employee puts on the VR headset and practices cleaning a patient room, bed, or sanitary facility. Step by step, with explanations and the option to retry an action. This is how you add practical exercises to your training without needing a real patient room. Nieuw: u geeft uitleg in uw eigen taal. Cursisten horen én lezen die in hun eigen taal, als deze wordt ondersteund.

    New · Multilingual training

    Give explanations in your own language. Your team hears and reads the translation.

    Cleaning teams in hospitals are often composed of various nationalities. With the new multilingual feature, the trainer simply speaks in their own language. Every trainee receives the explanation in their headset as audio and text in their own supported language. This allows a single trainer to guide colleagues of different nationalities in the same session.

    The built-in AI coach also helps with going through the exercises. During the demo, we will discuss which languages your team needs and which ones are available.

    1. 1

      The trainer speaks

      In their own language, as always.

    2. 2

      The trainee hears it

      As audio in the headset, in their own supported language.

    3. 3

      And reads it

      As text in the same language, so the explanation can be both heard and read.

    4. Result

      One trainer guides multiple nationalities, with explanations in each trainee's supported language.

    Cleaning in a nursing ward requires working carefully according to hospital protocols.
    Preparing for the work

    Practice first, then go to work in the department.

    During onboarding there is a lot to explain: which material do you use, where do you start and what must you not skip? In VR, employees can practice these actions without disturbing patients. The trainer can discuss the approach with them before they start working on the ward under supervision.

    • 01

      Technique

      Practicing with the use of materials, cleaning surfaces and the correct working posture.

    • 02

      Working sequence

      Practice a systematic approach that helps avoid missing spots and prevents re-contamination, alongside your own work instructions.

    • 03

      Your protocols remain leading

      VR supports your local protocols and practical assessment on the work floor. It does not replace them.

    Inside the training

    From the patient room to the sanitary facilities: our hospital modules

    The hospital program consists of an introduction and twelve cleaning tasks. Below is the complete overview of tasks. Afterward, we show a number of exercises with images from the training.

    Preparation and patient room

    • Prepare a chlorine solution
    • Remove waste, clean waste bins, and label waste
    • Clean patient table, bedside cabinet, and patient chair
    • Clean bed and mattress and prepare the bed
    • Cleaning walls and ceilings
    • High and low dusting
    • Dust mopping and wet mopping

    Sanitary facilities and refilling

    • Cleaning washbasin
    • Cleaning toilet
    • Cleaning shower and mirror
    • Cleaning bathtub
    • Refilling paper towels and toilet paper

    The introduction familiarizes participants with the controls and the virtual room. Which agents and working methods they use in the department always follow from your own hospital protocols.

    This overview describes the complete hospital program; not all parts have been released yet. We agree in advance which modules you can view in the demo. Click on an image below to enlarge it.

    The patient room

    Cleaning the bed and the patient room

    Participants practice with the bed, the mattress, the bed rails, and the surrounding surfaces. On-screen instructions show which part is up next.

    • Visual cues instead of long instructions
    • Interior design based on real hospital furniture
    Technique with coaching

    Explanation of technique and working posture

    “Bend the head in an L-shape so you can reach the surface without bending your neck too far.” The AI coach in the headset guides technique and posture step by step, where available in the participant's language.

    • Cart, material, and gloves just like in real life
    • Ergonomics is built into the instruction
    Sanitary & supplies

    Sanitary rooms and dispensers, in the correct order.

    From toilet seat to towel dispenser: participants practice what they clean, where they start and what they check, and then discuss their approach with the trainer.

    • Visual cues highlight the task
    • Checking and refilling are part of the process
    For the first time in VR

    No gaming experience needed.

    The training starts with an explanation of the controls. For example, participants practice touching a faucet and using the grip button. This is followed by the cleaning exercises.

    The screenshots show hospital cleaning VR training modules that are still under development. Which exercises you see in a demo will be agreed upon with you in advance; not every module shown has been released yet.

    How it works

    How to organize a training session with VR.

    Practicing in pairs

    One colleague performs the task wearing the VR headset, while the other watches along. Afterward, they switch and discuss what went well and what could be improved.

    On-screen guidance

    Arrows and markers show what the participant needs to do. In addition, the trainer can provide explanations, which the trainee hears and reads in their own supported language.More about multilingual training

    Repeat at your own pace

    Repeat exercises until they feel familiar, without disturbing patients or working with real supplies and waste.

    Train at your own location

    Use a suitable space at your own location. You do not need to keep a patient room vacant for this and can let employees practice individually or in pairs.

    Progress in the portal

    Track participant progress and results in the training portal and export reports for your training records.

    Part of your training

    VR complements on-the-job guidance.

    Employees practice actions in VR. On the ward, they learn to apply these according to your hospital protocols, under the guidance of your own trainers. The training is separate from the FacilityApps software for organizing daily cleaning.

    What VR training does

    • Allow employees to practice techniques, sequences, and procedures safely and repeatedly
    • Visually guide with an AI coach, plus explanations from the trainer as audio and text in each trainee's supported language
    • Record progress and results in the portal, with exportable reports

    What it does not replace

    • Your local hospital protocols and infection prevention guidelines
    • Practical evaluation on the work floor
    • Operational software. For planning, inspections, and department processes: FacilityApps software for hospital cleaning

    Frequently asked questions

    How does a hospital academy or training department use this?

    As a practice step in the onboarding or training process: trainees practice technique and work sequence in VR, often in pairs, and discuss this with the trainer. This is followed by guidance and practical assessment on the ward according to your own protocols. The portal shows who has completed which exercises.

    Can hospital and cleaning company use this together?

    Yes, that is possible. A cleaning company can prepare its employees with the same exercises that the hospital considers important, and share reports on training progress in discussions with the client. The protocols and on-site assessment remain leading. How you arrange the collaboration and licenses will be discussed in the demo.

    Is this new, or part of the existing hospital offering?

    The hospital modules are a significant expansion of the VR training offering from FacilityApps, built on top of the standard modules. They complement the software for hospital cleaning, but are not part of it.

    Are all modules included in one license?

    No. Which standard and hospital modules you receive depends on the agreed package. See the broader offering.

    Does VR replace our protocols or practical assessment?

    No. It complements your local protocols and practical assessment. Use it to prepare and repeat; continue to assess on the work floor.

    What does the training say about the quality of the cleaning work?

    The training results show what someone has practiced in VR. They are not a certification and do not prove how clean a department is or how many infections are prevented. For that, the hospital's practical assessment and quality controls remain necessary.

    How does multilingual training work?

    The trainer speaks in their own language. Each trainee receives that explanation in the headset as audio and text, in their own supported language. This is how a single trainer guides trainees of different nationalities. Apart from that, the AI coach guides trainees through the exercises. Which languages are supported varies; please check this during the demo.

    What do managers see in the portal?

    Progress and training results of participants, with exportable reports. The portal tracks learning; it does not measure hygiene in your departments.

    Will we see all modules in the demo?

    We coordinate the exercises in a demo in advance. Not all modules on this page have been released yet.
