This key event, taking place outside of the U.S. for the very first time, hosts a rich collection of innovative solutions and Serious Games for use in healthcare. During the conference there will be ongoing sessions with prominent speakers and pioneers in healthcare and healthcare serious game development. The "Preparing Together for Safety" project focusses on improving the competences of Company Safety Officers and staff in areas where the mobility of the occupants is restricted e.g. Hospitals and Prisons. It aims to both optimize the effectiveness of the organization’s own emergency response procedures as well as improving the cooperation and communication with the professional emergency services at the incident scene. The project received an innovation award from the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs.

The Mechelen F&R Service and other emergency response services within the safety region of Rivierenland (Belgium) have used the virtual RescueSim platform for their incident response training. To train surveillance camera operators to identify strange and suspicious behavior and detect and report criminal & terrorist activities, VSTEP developed the EyeObserve Simulator in cooperation with the Rotterdam-Rijnmond Police, the National Coordinator Bureau for Counterterrorism (NCTV) and TNO Defence & Security. Dutch newspaper METRO devoted a cover article on this innovative simulator. The VSTEP project to train the Schiphol Airport emergency services and safety personnel with the RescueSim virtual incident response trainer has been nominated by the leading Dutch computer magazine Computable for the ICT-project of the year award. For EMO, the largest transshipment terminal for coal and iron ore in Western Europe, VSTEP created a crane simulator for preparation and training of future and current dry bulk crane operators, increasing their effectiveness and precision. |
