Immerse yourself in our innovative CPR training game.
Lifesaver VR is an innovative CPR training game that puts you in the centre of the action.
Designed for use with a VR headset, you’ll experience what it’s like to be part of an emergency, learning essential CPR skills as you follow the steps it takes to save a life.
This VR experience is a fantastic tool for community CPR and first aid trainers who are looking to teach CPR skills to members of the public, especially tech-savvy young people. Lifesaver VR is compatible for use with some Laerdal manikins, allowing for a realistic learning experience and providing useful feedback for the user.
How to play
How Lifesaver was developed
Lifesaver is a collaboration between Resuscitation Council UK and award-winning production company UNIT9. In the four scenarios, evidence-based guidance on CPR and first aid education are brought to life by BAFTA winner Martin Percy (writer/director) and a cast which includes Star Wars’ Daisy Ridley.
Lifesaver first launched in 2013, with updates released in 2017 and 2020. The innovative Lifesaver VR experience arrived in September 2017 and was expanded in 2020 for use with CPR training manikins. e-Lifesaver, a SCORM-compliant e-learning tool for the workplace, launched in April 2020.
Lifesaver has since been used as a training tool across the country, and was included in the Wellcome Collection’s 2018 exhibition ‘Can Graphic Design Save Your Life?’
