Can On Demand AI & VR Practice Help The Med Students Of The Future Be Better Caregivers? - Oli Siska

Описание: VR simulates dementia hallucinations for caregiver trainees, and AI gives medical students unlimited patient practice on any device. Oli Siska, co-founder and CEO of Kaleidoscope XR, builds tools that solve massive access gaps in medical education and frontline healthcare training.

Medical students currently get one to two chances a year to practice diagnosing real patients in standardized exams. Those exams require doctors behind one-way mirrors, hired actors, trained patients—expensive and hard to scale.

OSCI AI Pro puts an AI avatar patient on any web browser so students can practice 24/7. Pick a case, have a conversation, get feedback. Pre-med through specialty residency.

Caregiver VR is even wilder. Up to 20 students enter a virtual classroom with an instructor. They role-play dementia scenarios, but the person playing the resident actually hears and sees simulated hallucinations. You feel what dementia is like while trying to accomplish a simple task. That builds empathy no lecture can touch.

Key Moments:
[0:01:11] - Caregiver VR triggers auditory and visual hallucinations to simulate dementia for up to 20 trainees at once
[0:03:33] - OSCI AI Pro replaces expensive standardized patient exams with 24/7 AI avatar practice on any device
[0:07:29] - 25 years in nonprofits, one VR headset, and a life-changing aha moment that started everything
[0:14:49] - Resistance comes from people who haven't tried it—once they put on the headset, the aha moment happens
[0:19:39] - VR training produces seven times more information retention than traditional instruction
[0:21:59] - Expanding OSCI AI Pro into long-term care for frontline healthcare aides ahead of new certification legislation
[0:29:38] - Sora 2 video AI means independent filmmakers could make full movies from their basements within 10 years

VR builds empathy you can't get any other way. AI gives medical students practice they desperately need.
