At IMSH in San Antonio (TX), Logosnet will be contributing to six sessions dedicated to healthcare simulation, AI-driven technologies, and simulation design.
Across these sessions, we will address the design and use of conversational AI-driven avatars, adaptive simulation scenarios, and extended reality, drawing on work developed within e-REAL Labs and dialogue with colleagues from the Center for Medical Simulation (CMS), with particular attention to readiness in simulation-based education and practice.
Our contribution spans different formats—including pre-conference courses, workshops, and hot topic sessions—distributed across multiple days of the conference.
