We are thrilled to announce the launch of RL360, an innovative mixed-reality training platform poised to redefine emergency response and medical training.
Developed in collaboration with leading industry experts, RL360 combines the realism of Ruth Lee manikins with cutting-edge mixed-reality technology to create immersive, high-fidelity training experiences.
About RL360
RL360 merges physical and digital training through its advanced Trauma Lens program, which currently includes:
- Head Injury Assessment: Utilizing the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) for consciousness evaluation.
- Airway Auscultation: Teaching correct stethoscope placement and interpretation of respiratory sounds.
- Traumatic Bleed Assessment: Techniques for identifying and managing severe bleeding, including pressure and tourniquet application.
Key benefits of RL360 include:
- Enhanced Realism: Realistic weight and feel of Ruth Lee manikins paired with mixed reality overlays for lifelike training.
- Advanced Technology: Incorporates the VIVE XR Elite headset and VIVE Ultimate Tracker for precision tracking.
- Scalable Growth: Regular updates introducing new scenarios and training modules.
- Digital Skins: As well as the Trauma Lens programs, RL360 allows you to add a digital skin to your manikin, offering a range of ages, genders and ethnicities for more realistic and diverse training representation.
Transforming Training for Emergency Responders
RL360 is designed to provide unparalleled training opportunities for emergency services, healthcare providers, and rescue organizations worldwide. By integrating expert input and innovative technology, Ruth Lee Ltd continues to lead the way in creating life-saving training solutions.
This revolutionary platform has been developed with invaluable input from key partners, including Outreach Rescue, Trauma Resus, The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, and Wrexham University. Their expertise ensures RL360’s scenarios are not only realistic but also clinically accurate and tailored to the needs of emergency responders and medical professionals.
The involvement of these industry leaders has provided RL360 with:
- Authenticity: Real-world scenarios crafted with insights from frontline professionals.
- Clinical Precision: Training programs validated by healthcare specialists to ensure accuracy.
- Innovative Insights: Contributions from academic institutions to push the boundaries of technology in education.
Ryan Foley, Ruth Lee’s Product Manager (XR Training Solutions) said,
“This product is the culmination of two years R&D where we really looked closely at what was needed in the rescue training industry. Ruth Lee already had a range of award-winning training manikins and was looking for ways to push the boundaries of training and give learners more immersive and realistic training.
I am incredibly grateful for the time and expertise of the people who have helped in the development stage of the project – their knowledge and goodwill has been instrumental in ensuring that RL360 meets the highest standards of realism, functionality, and effectiveness in training and I am excited to see the lasting impact this technology has on learning retention.”
Nathan Roberts, Senior Lecturer of Simulation and Digitalisation at Wrexham University played an important role in the development of this project, and said,
“Collaboration through industry and academic expertise has enabled the integration of cutting-edge XR technology, endorsed by a professional community, that revolutionises training simulations for the Blue Light Sector. Ruth Lee manikins have facilitated invaluable opportunities that embrace technology, driving forward innovations that provide high-fidelity and realistic training solutions cost-effectively, making first-class training accessible to everyone without sacrificing quality.”
Rachel Smith, Paramedic Tutor at Outreach Rescue provided invaluable advice on technical aspects of the training development and said,
“Our partnership with Ruth Lee has always focused on improving safety and performance in training for medical and rescue work. The RL360 is a fantastic addition, bringing mixed reality to rescue training, and we’re proud to have been involved in showcasing its potential.”
