Labster, the world's leading platform for virtual labs and interactive science, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire UbiSim, the virtual reality training platform for nursing, based in Lausanne. With this acquisition, Labster significantly expands its nursing education offering, further supporting its mission to transform access to high quality science education.
UbiSim, founded in Switzerland in 2017, offers immersive virtual training simulations for nurses and healthcare providers, putting them at the forefront of the increasing tech revolution in health care. Their immersive VR training platform enables nursing students to develop clinical reasoning, collaboration and communication skills by engaging with real world scenarios and lifelike patients in a safe learning environment.
"We felt such a clear alignment with Labster on both vision and product philosophy, which made the decision to join the Labster team incredibly easy. We are excited to continue developing the product and expand the reach to nursing students and educators globally together, "said Florian Brutsche, Co-Founder of UbiSim.
"We are thrilled to welcome the UbiSim team to the Labster family. UbiSim's high-quality and scalable training platform offers a truly unique solution," said Michael Bodekaer Jensen, CEO and Co-Founder of Labster. "With the strategic addition of UbiSim, Labster is well positioned to play an important role in the future of nursing education and to help address the critical challenge of the global nursing shortage, estimated at a shortfall of 5.9 million nurses by the World Health Organization."
Labster was founded in Denmark in 2012 and has a strong foothold in Zurich. The company offers a learning platform with an ecosystem of science learning resources, including a metaverse of virtual science simulations, lab manuals, lab reports, and 3D animated videos.
