Changing the Human Experience in Healthcare
When Other's reality becomes yours
Lack of Empathy is a root cause of many healthcare challenges, such as staff burnout and low patient adherence.
These cost the US healthcare system an estimated $100B annually.
Despite evidence that empathy is improvable and crucial for healthcare quality, current empathy-boosting solutions lack impact measurability,
personalization & scalability.
Lack of Empathy is directly connected with:
Low patient
satisfaction
and bad
reputation
High attrition
and staff
burnout
Increased amount of complaints & malpractice claims
Poor post-hospitalization treatment adherence
Empathy is essential for optimizing patient experience & employee well-being
OtheReality has developed a personalized empathy gym for medical centers. Leveraging VR, staff are invited to walk a mile in the shoes of their patients and colleagues through individual workouts designed using our research-backed methodology.
We provide our clients with a comprehensive and complete solution - from analysing the organisation's needs, through filming and production, to developing a tailored training program.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We have developed a unique empathy and communication training methodology, backed by academic research and real world experience:
1. VR Experience - Our in-app training modules present the trainee with
a VR experience presenting specific provider-patient interaction (for example: delivering bad news). The engaging multi-perspective VR experiences propel the viewer to feel the other person's emotions.
2. App-Based Workshop -The emotional empathy achieved is later elaborated via a personal app-based workshop that processes cognitive and motivational empathy and improves communication skills.
3. Team-Based Workshop - Following the personal reflection, a team-based workshop is then initiated allowing colleagues to learn and improve together.
4. Data analysis - The data collected from the workshop is later analyzed by senior academic researchers and processed into “bottom-lines”, giving the organization a detailed understanding on their empathy and communication KPI’s

PARTNERSHIPS
TESTIMONIALS
The VR experience was amazing. It lets medical staff grasp the situation from the patient’s point of view in a very powerful way. I think the tool should be
a requirement for medical students.
It’s a very important tool and I have no doubt it will be used broadly.
DR. ANAT ENGEL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT WOLFSON MEDICAL CENTER
I can’t even count the number of times I had to deal with similar situations. OtheReality helped me understand the patient’s perspective and changed how I interact with patients.
DR. AVIAD COHEN, SENIOR DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE WOMEN'S DEPARTMENT AT ICHILOV MEDICAL CENTER
The experience is amazingly immersive.
I could actually feel people’s vulnerabilities and emotions as though I was there in person.
