Already 10,000 healthcare professionals use CareUp
Healthcare professionals are responsible for remaining competent and competent. For example, they have to maintain their knowledge every year. CareUp gives healthcare professionals the opportunity to practice and test reserved actions in a unique way, through gamification.
More and more healthcare professionals are switching from traditional e-learning to a more challenging way to stay competent. Where e-learning is only about theory, you can also practice practice via CareUp’s simulation app. A unique combination that allows you to learn faster and remember it better.
An idea born in the elevator
The idea for CareUp arose during a conversation in an elevator and the app has now welcomed its 10,000th healthcare professional. A true success for the energetic entrepreneurs Jos van Leeuwen and Gijs Tempel who focus on innovation and digitization in healthcare.
“Since the coronavirus, we have seen an additional influx of new members,” says Jos van Leeuwen, innovator and director of CareUp. “Especially now, healthcare professionals are looking for good alternatives to practical simulations for practicing and testing reserved actions. The availability of a skills lab was already minimal before the corona crisis and corona has made this even more challenging. We see more and more healthcare organizations, but also schools, joining CareUp.”
CareUp offers 25 different reserved actions through a 3D simulation game, such as insulin injection, nasogastric tube placement and bladder catheterization for men and women. All actions are based on Vilan’s KICK protocols and accredited by the V&VN.
“Where pilots have a flight simulator, we have a care simulator for healthcare professionals,” says Gijs Tempel, technical brain of CareUp. “It is great to see that in the healthcare world, where digitization is still in its infancy, more and more healthcare professionals are taking the step to our unique app!”
