In a groundbreaking collaboration, TechTown MVP participants Courtney Christian and Lola Larrison, alongside developer Tone King, have developed a transformative application addressing the pressing need for improved training in healthcare settings. Their journey began with a winning proposal at the Urban AI Challenge hosted by the University of Detroit Mercy, leading to six weeks of intensive work during the TechTown MVP course.
The course, spanning six weeks, provided a structured platform for Christian, Larrison, and King to bring their vision to fruition. Through weekly meetings, they received invaluable feedback from experienced mentors, refining their app on the Adalo platform. The culmination of their efforts was showcased during a demonstration day, offering networking opportunities and further insights from external perspectives.
At the heart of their creation, V-Storm lies a solution to a critical issue plaguing the Detroit Urban Health Care System: the lack of sufficient training for nursing students, particularly in delicate procedures such as IV insertion. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), V-Storm introduces a dynamic approach to learning, empowering students and enhancing community healthcare outcomes.
V-Storm serves as a comprehensive healthcare management application, enabling instructors to monitor student progress through interactive quizzes and tailored coursework. With AI-driven features like a chatbot, students can seek instant clarification and generate personalized quiz questions, optimizing their learning experience.
The innovative integration of AI and virtual reality (VR) technology stands as the next frontier for V-Storm. By immersing students in lifelike scenarios, V-Storm aims to revolutionize healthcare education, providing unparalleled preparation for real-world challenges.
As V-Storm emerges as a catalyst for change, its creators envision a future where AI and VR converge to redefine how healthcare professionals are trained, ensuring a more proficient and compassionate workforce.
TechTown MVP has proven to be more than just a course—it’s a launchpad for visionary ideas like V-Storm, driving innovation and addressing critical societal needs.
