Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if Virtual Reality (VR) can elicit emotional responses that are captured via physiological biometrics such as heart rate variability and skin conductance levels. As a non-inferiority study the investigators anticipate the technologies will elicit an emotional not inferior to those responses of an in-person simulations of workplace scenarios (i.e medical error and workplace harassment).
