Healthcare professionals at Saint-Louis Hospital – AP-HP in Paris are taking part in innovative training to improve their understanding of infection prevention. Instead of sitting through traditional lectures, they take part in a hands-on learning experience, stepping into their own work environment with tablets in hand. Here, they see virtual patients breathe and cough, revealing hidden risks that were once undetectable. Through virtual twin-powered augmented reality (AR), airflow patterns are illuminated before their eyes and they understand, perhaps for the first time, the true impact of airborne infections in open care spaces.

This revolutionary training method, based on Sense Computing, is the result of a collaboration between Saint-Louis Hospital AP-HP and Dassault Systèmes, using advanced simulations to transform how healthcare professionals perceive and mitigate airborne transmission risks. By integrating virtual twins and AR into professional training, the hospital is bridging the gap between theory and practice, empowering staff to make informed decisions that enhance patient safety.
