Medicrew is an edtech platform optimized for medical simulation training, offering personalized education tailored to each learner's clinical proficiency through a three-tier learning module (Learn skills, Act orders, Make decisions). Utilizing both VR and mobile devices, it allows for learning anytime, anywhere. Through AI-powered virtual patients, learners can engage in conversations with patients, assess symptoms, and make clinical decisions, then observe real-time changes in the patient's condition following treatment.

Hospitals that have implemented VR training programs have seen a reduction in turnover rates among new nurses and reported high levels of satisfaction with the training. Already in use at several nursing schools and hospitals in South Korea, Medicrew was also successfully implemented at the School of Nursing of the Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences in 2023 as part of a KOICA project.

Newbase CEO Park Sun-Young stated, "Newbase is a medical edutech company committed to providing accessible, high-quality medical training for all. We developed Medicrew to address key challenges such as the limitations of hospital-based training, infection risks, and the difficulty of repetitive learning. Moving forward, we will continue to enhance the realism and functionality of medical education through innovations like AI-interactive virtual patients and our scenario studio system, which enables the creation of custom VR training scenarios.
