Virtual reality meets AI to train future nurses
NCT ID NCT07518199
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using artificial intelligence with virtual reality can improve how nursing students care for patients as a whole person. About 80 fourth-year nursing students will be split into two groups: one gets AI-supported VR training, the other gets traditional case-based training. Researchers will measure their decision-making, symptom identification, and satisfaction with the training.
