In just a week, assessment professionals from across Europe and beyond will gather in Dublin for E-ATP 2025. The European Association of Test Publishers’ annual conference is one of the most important events in the assessment calendar. It brings together leaders, innovators, and practitioners to explore the latest trends and technologies shaping the world of learning and assessment.

We’re delighted to share that Sentira XR will be at this year’s event, with our CEO Jeremy Carter, presenting alongside our good friends at risr/. Together, we’ll be showcasing how immersive VR can be seamlessly integrated with assessment platforms to create authentic, competency-based assessments. We’ll be looking at ‘2030 and beyond’ and considering how healthcare training will evolve. How will AI and VR move assessment forward in this field?

Why E-ATP 2025 Matters

E-ATP 2025 is not just about sharing knowledge. It’s about connecting ideas across the assessment industry and driving forward real change. This year’s conference theme focuses on candidate experience, innovation and collaboration.

What We’ll Be Talking About at E-ATP 2025

At Sentira XR, we believe the future of assessment lies in authentic performance-based experiences. Immersive VR allows learners to train and then demonstrate their skills in realistic scenarios, from healthcare and emergency response to technical training and beyond.

In our shared session, we’ll look ahead to the future of OSCEs and practical assessments, combining live demonstrations with interactive audience participation. Together, we’ll explore how traditional approaches are evolving to meet the needs of modern clinical practice.

We’ll wrap up with a Q&A focused on implementation, validation, and the regulatory landscape, giving you the chance to dive deeper into what the future of immersive assessment could look like.

Sentira XR at The ATP Discovery Zone

One of the highlights of E-ATP Dublin this year is sure to be the ATP Discovery Zone. It’s a fabulous space designed for attendees to step away from the main programme and get hands-on with some of the most exciting innovations in assessment technology. We’re thrilled that Sentira XR will be part of it this year!

On Wednesday, 17th September, between 2:45 and 5:30 pm, we’ll be showcasing our immersive simulation technology and inviting delegates to experience first-hand how VR can bring assessments to life. Whether you’re curious about how simulations can test real-world decision making or simply want to see where immersive learning is heading, the Discovery Zone is the perfect place to drop in, explore, and be inspired.

Join Us in Dublin!

If you’re attending E-ATP 2025 in Dublin, we’d love to connect with you. Curious about the technology? Interested in collaboration, or just want to see what’s next in immersive assessment? Come and find us at the conference.

We’re excited to be part of the conversation in Dublin and even more excited about where the future of assessment is headed. See you at E-ATP 2025!

We were thrilled to take home three awards last week at the International e-Assessment Awards 2025 in London. Sentira XR was recognised in the following categories:

🏆 AI in Assessment Innovation Award
🏆 Best Formative Assessment Project
🏆 Most Innovative Use of Technology in Assessment

For a young company still in its early stages, this triple recognition is a powerful endorsement of the work we’ve been doing at the intersection of immersive technology, AI, and healthcare education. To be acknowledged alongside some of the most established and forward-thinking names in assessment is both humbling and energising.

A Testament to Teamwork and Vision

None of this would be possible without the creativity, dedication, and hard work of the incredible Sentira XR team. Every innovation, from our AI-powered virtual patients to our immersive VR consultation scenarios, has been developed with purpose, care, and an unwavering commitment to improving clinical education and assessment.

We are also fortunate to work with visionary collaborators across universities, NHS Trusts and professional bodies, all of whom have helped shape and test our technology in real-world contexts. These awards are as much theirs as they are ours.

Recognising a Supportive Community

We’d like to extend our thanks to the e-Assessment Association, the judging panels and the British Council for their support and celebration of innovation through these awards. The entire event was a testament to the strength of the global assessment community and the shared goal of delivering smarter, fairer, more effective ways to evaluate learning and competency.

The calibre of this year’s finalists was extraordinary, and we feel proud to be among them. Seeing so many projects pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with digital assessment reminds us that we’re part of something much bigger than ourselves.

What’s Next?

We’re not stopping here. As we continue to develop our XR-based clinical training tools, we’re also exploring new ways to assess not just practical medical skills, but also communication, empathy, decision-making and patient safety.

We believe the future of assessment will be deeply immersive, data-rich, and human-centred, and we’re excited to keep building that future, one simulation at a time.

If you’d like to see what we’re working on or collaborate with us, please get in touch.

Revolutionising Education: The Role of AI in Training, Education, and Assessment

SentiraXR’s CEO Jeremy Carter will join an expert panel at the International eAssessment Conference next week. The panel discussion forms part of the event’s first-ever AI Symposium entitled “Revolutionising Education: The Role of AI in Training, Education, and Assessment.” This panel will explore the integration of AI-simulated standardised actors into educational frameworks, with a focus on skills-based assessments in medical education.

The discussion will feature experts in AI technology, medical education, ethics in technology, and policy-making, providing a comprehensive analysis of the topic.

Panel Agenda:

• Introduction: Overview of AI applications in education and AI-simulated standardised actors
• Opportunities: Insights on the benefits and innovations AI brings to educational assessment
• Challenges: Open discussion on ethical, technical, and practical hurdles in AI implementation
• Q&A Session: Audience engagement with questions for the panelists
• Conclusion and Future Directions: Key takeaways and potential steps forward for AI in education

This panel aims to spark a multidisciplinary dialogue on the transformative potential of AI in education. By examining both opportunities and challenges, it hopes to pave the way for the thoughtful integration of AI technologies to enhance learning outcomes, address equity and accessibility issues, and uphold ethical standards in education.

The AI Symposium is sponsored by risr/.
