Evercoast Is Bringing Humanity To Healthcare Simulation & AI Model Training
Healthcare is moving rapidly toward digital learning, mixed reality, and AI, yet much of the technology lacks one essential element: authentic human experience.
Training programs often rely on staged simulations, standard eLearning, or animated avatars, which provide information but do not fully prepare clinicians for the emotional, interpersonal, and physical realities of care.
Evercoast provides a comprehensive spatial data platform that brings real human performance into healthcare training, learning, and model development. The result is more human centered technology that strengthens confidence, communication, and clinical skill.
Healthcare organizations are already using spatial data in meaningful ways today. Below are three examples that demonstrate how real human movement, interaction, and expression are being used across mixed reality training, eLearning, and AI.
Mixed reality training that feels human
Johns Hopkins School of Nursing
Many nursing programs face a familiar challenge. Simulation labs are resource heavy, access is limited, and the emotional nuance of patient care can be difficult to recreate through lectures or role play. Johns Hopkins built the Extended Reality Learning Hub (XR Hub) as a new approach to clinical readiness on a Meta Quest headset. Evercoast provides the spatial data inside the XR Hub, allowing the team to bring real people into the experience with lifelike presence.
The core training module follows a patient, Mr. Jones, from admission to discharge. Students watch real conversations, observe bedside manners, and see the emotional side of care unfold. They notice details like a reassuring gesture, a moment of hesitation, or the tone of a difficult conversation. They also watch clinical procedures in three dimensional space, which helps students understand both the technical and interpersonal aspects of care. Because the experience runs in mixed reality, students anchor the spatial data in their own physical environment. This creates a strong sense of presence and bridges the gap between classroom instruction and real patient interaction.
For nursing students, this training is more memorable and more realistic than traditional methods. It gives them a fuller understanding of what patient care feels like, not only the checklist of tasks. The combination of mixed reality and real human performance strengthens confidence and prepares students for the emotional and relational moments of clinical care before they enter a hospital setting.
eLearning that enhances existing systems
Providence UPmersiv™
Not every healthcare organization is ready to implement mixed reality headsets at scale, and effective innovation does not need to wait for that moment. Providence took a different approach by using volumetric video to elevate the eLearning experience in their existing LMS platform. The goal was to improve soft skills and communication training and make it more engaging for clinicians at all levels.
To achieve this, Providence created an internal program called UPmersiv™, focused on developing modern training content and upskilling staff through immersive learning. Evercoast’s software is used to record realistic human scenarios that were then integrated into Providence’s eLearning courses built in Articulate. One module, “Using and Interpreting Body Language,” uses volumetric video clips to help clinicians observe subtle cues in patient and colleague communication. Learners watch how posture, facial expression, movement, and tone influence the effectiveness of care, and they reflect on how to apply these skills in their own practice.
This approach gave Providence a way to modernize training without replacing systems or requiring headsets. Volumetric content made the lessons feel more relatable and easier to retain, and it allowed training to scale across locations and schedules. The result was a more human and interactive learning experience inside a familiar delivery format, proving that volumetric capture can enhance learning wherever clinicians already are.
AI that learns from real movement
Hinge Health
As AI becomes more central to digital physical therapy and movement guidance, accuracy matters. Models trained on flat video often miss nuance—depth, biomechanics, body diversity, and edge cases.
Hinge Health uses Evercoast software to train and evaluate computer vision models that power their TrueMotion technology. By capturing human motion in 3D with precise spatial alignment, Evercoast provides a richer source of ground truth data.
Volumetric data helps models better understand joint angles, movement patterns, and variations across real bodies. It supports more accurate feedback during rehabilitation and better validation of model performance against real movement—not estimated approximations.
The result is more reliable AI for digital musculoskeletal care and a stronger foundation for future adaptive therapy systems.
The common thread
Across these programs, a clear pattern emerges: with one capture system, Evercoast records authentic human performance once and enables it to be used everywhere.
Mixed Reality uses it to create lifelike presence in clinical scenarios.
eLearning uses it to bring empathy and communication into traditional LMS platforms.
AI uses it to train models on real movement rather than simulated data.
Volumetric / spatial data is not tied to one device or medium. It is a foundation for more human-centered technology in healthcare — making training more engaging, digital care more personal, and AI more accurate by grounding each experience in human reality.
As healthcare builds the next generation of learning, care, and intelligence, the most meaningful progress will come from technology that keeps humanity at the center. Evercoast enables that by making authentic human experience available wherever clinicians learn, practice, or innovate.
