Embodied Labs® is revolutionizing training in healthcare and social services by enabling caregivers to learn what it’s like to have a disease or impairment through first-person virtual experiences. Fostering actionable empathy with interactive learning journeys, our platform empowers care providers to deliver more compassionate, human-centered care that improves outcomes, and enhances quality of life.
Over 100+ organizations across the aging care continuum - including government entities, academic institutions, senior services organizations, and Fortune 100 retail health companies - have adopted the Embodied Labs’ platform to up-skill their own staff, teach the next generation of healthcare workers, and support the informal family and friend caregivers they serve in their communities. Developed with topic experts, our first person experiences are powerful and memorable. They create a perceived lived experience that allows learners to remember rather than imagine, with branching narratives that enable better decision-making through choices.
Founded in 2016, the Embodied Labs® experience library includes shared immersive experiences such as living through progressing Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia, and embodying the first person perspectives of other common caregiving situations such as PTSD, trauma-informed care, social isolation, aging in the LGBTQ+ community, and health assessments in complex home and community-based settings.
Our experiences:
• Provide a first person perspective of older adults and caregivers as they navigate the aging process.
• Are designed with world renowned subject matter experts and immersive content designers to serve the needs of organizations that work with caregivers and older adults.
• Return greater benefits in training outcomes, learner satisfaction and engagement compared traditional, non-immersive methods.
