PrepaCare(XR), seeks to develop and strengthen the digital competences of future healthcare professionals (students), instructors, and hospitals. Along the current Priorities of the European Commission 2019-2024, PrepaCare(XR), insofar, follows the priority to enable a Europe fit for the digital age as it empowers a new generation of healthcare professionals to shape the digital future of health and care.PrepaCare(XR) seeks to do so by establishing a room for an exchange of cross-border best practices in healthcare among European Higher Educations and healthcare providers. Available resources of current knowledge creation in learning, teaching, training of a multidisciplinary group of experts in healthcare (FI), medical professionals and engineering (AT, IT) and design and visualisation (PT) participating in the project will be collected and distributed in the form of a data set/ collection.

The project will develop a digital learning environment that combines several pedagogical methods and models. Teaching practices and delivery methods vary across organisations and operating cultures. On the basis of online simulation-based learning, PrepaCare(XR) aims at creating a digital twin for healthcare training by combining the e-resources and activities of all partners by using real-world applications, ICT-enriched learning, and collaborative practices that stress the inclusive nature of learning and teaching opportunities in the various formats (blended, distance, on-site). Visualisation concepts and usability are considered and applied in the various simulations and co-creations to ensure acceptance by end users. Processes are aligned with practice by contributing real-world applications of healthcare providers, hence closing gaps between educational and professional life. In doing so, PrepaCare(XR) enables the shift of healthcare training to blended and distance learning and proposes a new way of educating healthcare professionals to improve the efficiency and competitiveness of the European healthcare sector. This is especially important in the current situation, in which COVID-19 has affected our ways of working, studying, and living.
