About us
Embodied Labs® is revolutionizing training in healthcare and social services by enabling caregivers to learn what it’s like to have a disease or impairment through first-person virtual experiences. Fostering actionable empathy with interactive learning journeys, our platform empowers care providers to deliver more compassionate, human-centered care that improves outcomes, and enhances quality of life. Over 100+ organizations across the aging care continuum - including government entities, academic institutions, senior services organizations, and Fortune 100 retail health companies - have adopted the Embodied Labs’ platform to up-skill their own staff, teach the next generation of healthcare workers, and support the informal family and friend caregivers they serve in their communities. Developed with topic experts, our first person experiences are powerful and memorable. They create a perceived lived experience that allows learners to remember rather than imagine, with branching narratives that enable better decision-making through choices. Founded in 2016, the Embodied Labs® experience library includes shared immersive experiences such as living through progressing Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia, and embodying the first person perspectives of other common caregiving situations such as PTSD, trauma-informed care, social isolation, aging in the LGBTQ+ community, and health assessments in complex home and community-based settings. Our experiences: • Provide a first person perspective of older adults and caregivers as they navigate the aging process. • Are designed with world renowned subject matter experts and immersive content designers to serve the needs of organizations that work with caregivers and older adults. • Return greater benefits in training outcomes, learner satisfaction and engagement compared traditional, non-immersive methods.

What does immersive technology have in common with human connection? Turns out, a lot more than you think. When building Embodied Labs, our founders discovered that using a first person perspective, and interactive, immersive storytelling could actually bring humans closer together. A topic our own CEO, Carrie Shaw brought to the audience during her keynote speech last week at the National Memory Care Symposium. When we look at the numbers of those affected by conditions across the aging care continuum, one thing becomes clear – the need for empathetic, humanized care and the training mechanisms to assist that. In Embodied Labs case, our platform brings care providers closer to the person whose care they are supporting – whether in a professional, or a home care environment, by leveraging VR or web technology for training. These experiences put the provider in the prospective patients shoes, giving them a first hand view of what it feels like to have conditions like Alzheimer’s, dementia or macular degeneration. The outcome? ↳ 75% higher retention of information ↳ 3.75x more emotionally connected ↳ Reduced burnout, errors, and turnover in staff ↳ Better quality of care As a team who is passionate about creating a world that we ourselves want to age into, bridging the gap between technology and human connection in care will always remain front and center. A huge thank you to LeadingAge Maryland and LifeSpan Network for including our team at the National Memory Care Symposium last week. It’s always an honor to be a part of reshaping the picture of memory care.

Embodied Labs is incredibly proud to be working with the University of Minnesota Medical School to provide immersive, VR-driven training tools that help medical students understand Alzheimer’s disease and dementia from their future patients’ perspectives. "Health sciences students need to have a holistic understanding of people, rather than simply treating a disease or illness, through its first-person point of view, Embodied Labs helps break down that barrier, so students can pause and connect with their patients."
