Chulalongkorn University Launches “ER-VIPE,” a VR Innovation for Interprofessional Emergency Team Training to Enhance Patient Safety

BANGKOK, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Because Every Minute in the ER Matters, the Chulalongkorn University Design for Society Center (CUD4S), in collaboration with the Department of Emergency Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, and King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital of the Thai Red Cross Society, has launched the “ER-VIPE” (Emergency Room – Virtual Interprofessional Education), an innovative medical education tool. 

Chulalongkorn University Launches “ER-VIPE,” a VR Innovation for Interprofessional Emergency Team Training to Enhance Patient Safety
Chulalongkorn University Launches “ER-VIPE,” a VR Innovation for Interprofessional Emergency Team Training to Enhance Patient Safety

Using virtual simulation technology, ER-VIPE is designed to train interprofessional teams—doctors, nurses, pharmacists, radiologic technologists, and more—for handling emergency patients. The goal is to improve teamwork, communication, and patient safety while minimizing human errors. 

The launch was accompanied by the academic forum “ER-VIPE: Developing Healthcare Teams for Sustainable Patient Safety” and the TeamSTEPPS Essential and IPE Virtual Simulation Workshop (Cohort 2) held on August 4, 2025, at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. The event was presided over by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chanchai Sittipunt, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Director of the hospital. 

Innovation That Combines Heart, Head, and Hands 

Asst. Prof. Dr. Khuansiri Narajeenron, Director of Academic Affairs, Emergency Medicine Department, and Project Leader, described ER-VIPE as a “Med-Edutainment Technology” that merges:

  • HEART – Inspirational film content 
  • HEAD – Medical knowledge via MOOC 
  • HAND – Interactive simulation-based gameplay 

This educational design offers realistic emergency scenarios to build team-based non-technical skills using the TeamSTEPPS framework (Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety). It supports interprofessional collaboration (IPC) so that health professionals can communicate, make decisions, and act effectively under pressure. 

“Patient care doesn’t depend on who is the most skilled—it depends on how well the team works together. Studies show that most medical errors are not due to a lack of knowledge but due to poor teamwork.” – Asst. Prof. Dr. Khuansiri Narajeenron 

Addressing a Critical National Issue 

  • Thailand sees over 400,000 cases/year of unsafe medical care. 
  • Economic loss exceeds 9.6 billion baht annually. 
  • Globally, deaths from medical errors are 10,000 times higher than airplane crashes. 

The ER-VIPE system allows healthcare professionals to train in a safe, virtual environment without endangering real patients. Participants receive feedback and performance analysis via digital tools. 

Research findings:

  • Reduces medical errors by an average of 3.5 cases/month
  • Decreases patient deaths by 2.3 cases/month 
  • Increases patient satisfaction by nearly 1% monthly 

CUD4S and Chula Promote National Expansion 

Dr. Tatsawan Preedawiphat, Director of CUD4S, emphasized that design isn’t just about architecture—it’s also about systems that improve lives. ER-VIPE, as a social enterprise model, integrates healthcare, education, and technology to address systemic healthcare safety gaps. 

Piloted in five hospitals, the program showed:

  • 28% improvement in communication 
  • 38 fewer critical errors in ER scenarios 
  • Significant reduction in staff burnout 

National Policy Discussions: Toward “Zero Harm 2030” 

The event marked the first forum gathering leaders from nine major health professional organizations to discuss scaling ER-VIPE to a national health system level:

  • Training in all healthcare institutions 
  • MOUs with key organizations 
  • Nationally recognized continuing education credits (CME, CNE, etc.) 
  • Inclusion in health sciences higher education curriculum 

Nine participating professional organizations:

  1. The Medical Council of Thailand 
  2. The Nursing Council 
  3. The Pharmacy Council 
  4. The Medical Technology Council 
  5. The Radiological Technology Council 
  6. The Division of Medical Facilities, Ministry of Public Health 
  7. The College of Emergency Physicians of Thailand 
  8. The Hospital Administrators Association 
  9. The Healthcare Accreditation Institute 

They collectively agreed that interprofessional teamwork and communication are crucial to patient safety, and fragmented systems and communication breakdowns are major causes of errors—not individual incompetence. 

A Path Toward Safer Healthcare 

The panel proposed national adoption of TeamSTEPPS and Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC) principles, integrated into:

  • Health Service Plans
  • Professional training 
  • Hospital Accreditation (HA) standards 

They also urged the government to support policy and resources for sustainable improvement in patient care and workforce well-being.

Genshin Impact × Guizhou: A Feast of Intangible Cultural Heritage Showcases the Beauty of Chinese Culture

GUIYANG, China, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A news report by Huanqiu.com

The “game + culture” cross-border experiment between the open-world adventure RPG Genshin Impact and Guizhou has amplified the charm of Guizhou’s intangible cultural heritages. According to Ma Yi, a municipal representative inheritor of Daloushan rattan weaving, an intangible cultural heritage program, such interactive event is of milestone significance for the inheritance and development of the intangible cultural heritages in Guizhou. It opens a door towards the youth world, broadens the path of passing down intangible cultural heritages, and finds a new foothold for the ancient intangible cultural heritages amid the development wave of contemporary technology and culture.

The Miao batik technique has amazed and attracted young game players. The virtual rattan weaving product made by the game character “Lan Yan” and the physical rattan weaving artworks from the intangible cultural heritage inheritor of Guizhou are presented here to start a cultural dialogue beyond temporal and spatial boundaries. “I was very expected and pleased when learning that Genshin Impact, a video game highly popular among the young generation intended to collaborate with Guizhou’s intangible cultural heritages, because it gives me a new hope of witnessing the rejuvenation of traditional skills and techniques in the new era”, commented by Ma Yi.

When playing the game of Genshin Impact, players have come to know and love the batik art, an intangible cultural heritage of Guizhou. The Miao people ingeniously apply two colors, blue and white to printing patterns including butterfly, bird and dragon on plain cloth. Cheng Hao, a batik designer explained, “In addition to its artistic value, Miao batik has recorded the long history of the Miao ethnic group. Nowadays, we integrate these batik elements into our designs, hoping to carry forward the intangible cultural heritage.”

Cheng Hao had lived with female batik workers in Danzhai, Guizhou for eight years. In his opinion, the Miao culture purifies his mind and enriches his inspirations by reflecting the simple and unadorned worldview of Miao locals. When creating batik patterns, designers must truly understand their batik partnering workers as if they are family members, so as to better present their creative concepts and finally work out excellent fashion design of batik.

“For example, we have an artwork called Returning to the Dreamlike Peach Blossom Spring. At the very beginning, the batik worker did not know what the Peach Blossom Spring is. Then we told her the story of Tao Yuanming, a literatus of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and she created the beautiful patterns according to her own distinct understanding.” Cheng Hao expressed that the final works delicately depicts the life scenes of raising silkworms, weaving cloth and spinning yarns, and also contains some ancient totems such as flowers, birds, fish and insects commonly-seen in life, and geometric patterns as well.

In addition to batik, Miao embroidery is another unique carrier of the charming intangible cultural heritage. “This is the pattern of Mom Butterfly. The patterns of Miao embroidery not only show the totem worship of Miao people, but also deliver rich historical and cultural messages of the Miao ethnic group, such as butterfly.” Li Wenfang, an inheritor of Miao embroidery, shared the cultural origin of Miao embroidery patterns. According to the ancient myths described in the Ancient Odes of the Miao People passed down through generations, the “Mom Butterfly” fell in love with foam on the water surface, and laid 12 eggs, which later hatched the ancestors of all things in the world.

Miao embroidery displays the superior craftsmanship of Miao people, and embodies their expectations for a better life. Every stitch of Miao embroidery epitomizes the respect for the nature and anticipation for the future. Li Wenfang explained that among these patterns, pomegranate symbolizes good fortune and fertility, fish metaphorizes prosperity and vigorous vitality, and dragon can be classified into swimming dragon, flying dragon and other types. The elder Miao people have been passing on the cultural symbols and historical stories in the form of Miao embroidery patterns for the relay of the traditional culture and wisdom of the Miao ethnic group.


Yang Naijin, an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of batik further elaborated on the making process of batik. It mainly uses natural materials like beeswax and indigo plant. Beeswax is applied to drawing patterns and preventing dyeing, while indigo plant to dyeing. After the steps of drawing patterns, applying beeswax, dyeing and removing beeswax, unique blue-and-white patterns are formed at the end.

“The combination of family inheritance and modern design leads to the revival of the batik art in the new era, particularly in such fields as games and fashion design.” Yang Naijin mentioned that batik patterns can be applied more to cartoons and games popular among young people in the future. For instance, Genshin Impact and batik have collaborated in Guizhou, allowing these young people to experience and learn the batik art, and create their favorite batik works. Batik can be further applied to decorative items, scarves, bags, and even interior decoration in the form of murals, showcasing the Miao style and carrying forward the intangible cultural heritage.

LG INTRODUCES INTELLIGENT, INNOVATIVE CLEANING WITH NEW VACUUMS AT IFA 2025

Tailored for the European Market, Company’s New Range of Vacuum Solutions Offers Enhanced Convenience and Performance

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) is showcasing four new vacuum cleaning solutions designed expressly for the European market at IFA 2025. The lineup includes a robot vacuum with steam mop, a built-in robot vacuum station, a stick vacuum and a wet-dry stick vacuum. Offering enhanced convenience, powerful performance and seamless design, LG’s latest innovations reaffirm the brand’s commitment to making everyday life easier for customers across Europe.

Deep Clean Meets Everyday Comfort

Significantly upgraded from its predecessor, the new LG robot vacuum raises the bar for home cleaning solutions with advanced features, functionality and the satisfaction of aesthetically blending into your home with its furniture-like looks. Its steam mopping capability effectively removes grease and liquid spills, while the freestanding, furniture-like docking station self-sterilizes the mop with hot water and steam, keeping it clean and odor-free after each use. With more than double the suction power of last year’s model, it delivers a deeper clean on both hard and carpeted floors.

Equipped with an on-device AI chip, the robot vacuum recognizes a range of environmental factors – from dirt and dust to furniture and other household objects – enabling more precise navigation and cleaning. Its AI carpet detection system automatically returns the vacuum to the docking station to detach the mop when carpeted areas are detected, helping prevent staining and improving cleaning efficiency. Stylish yet practical, the docking station blends seamlessly with any interior for a clean, modern look. Furthermore, the new robot vacuum incorporates the LG Shield security platform to keep customers’ data safe and secure.

Hidden Fit, Hands-free Experience

Developed with European homes in mind, LG’s built-in robot vacuum station is designed to fit neatly into unused space beneath the kitchen sink, enabling a tidy and space-efficient installation. An auto-opening door, nearly invisible when closed, allows the vacuum to enter and return without user intervention, helping maintain a minimalist kitchen aesthetic.

The built-in station features an air circulation system that dampens noise during automatic dust disposal, helping preserve a quieter indoor environment. It also offers a fully automated, hands-free experience with auto water supply and draining. In addition, a turbidity sensor monitors mop cleanliness in real time and automatically initiates washing when soiling is detected, ensuring thorough, efficient cleaning with less energy use.

Enduring Performance

Unlike conventional cordless vacuums that often lose suction due to clogging from pet hair and fine dust, LG’s new stick vacuum provides consistent, powerful performance. Its Micro Cyclone technology and new filter cleaning system delivers stable suction power every time.

Building on its predecessor’s allergy-aware design, the model includes an auto dust disposal system that minimizes exposure to dust particles when emptying the bin. Additionally, it includes a compact, free-standing storage and recharging station with a small footprint, allowing users to conveniently place it almost anywhere in their home.

Effortless Cleaning and Care

LG is also introducing its new wet-dry stick vacuum, a product that meets growing consumer demand throughout Europe for a lighter, more convenient cleaning solution. Lightweight and easy to maneuver, it helps reduce wrist strain and fatigue during cleaning. The AI Roller Control function further lessens the burden on users’ wrists and contributes to overall ease-of-operation, ensuring the vacuum moves smoothly when pushed and pulled across different surfaces.

Combining advanced capabilities of LG’s AI technology, the vacuum learns from users’ cleaning patterns to optimize efficiency. Its roller delivers powerful suction that lifts both liquid messes – such as sauces – and larger solid particles like cereal and pet food. Built-in LED lighting helps users spot debris in low-light conditions. For hygiene, the mop head undergoes hot water washing, steam sterilization and hot air drying – keeping the mop head fresh and the vacuum clean.

“LG’s new vacuums are designed for European homes and lifestyles, delivering reliable performance along with greater comfort, hygiene and peace of mind,” said Lyu Jae-cheol, president of the LG Home Appliance Solution Company. “We are committed to introducing innovations that meet the diverse needs of our customers and create effortless ease and elegance in everyday life.”

LG’s latest vacuum lineup and other home appliance solutions will be on display at the company’s IFA 2025 exhibition booth (Hall 18, Messe Berlin) in Berlin, Germany, from September 5-9.
