Brad Chesham 

Bundle of Rays was established by Bradley Chesham. The concept of training healthcare professionals came from working as a front-line nurse in busy hospitals in Australia and the UK, plus serving in Afghanistan and Iraq as a battlefield nurse which really highlighted the necessity for easy to understand solutions. The motivation for developing Bundle of Rays was to empower health professionals to be better skilled and qualified to promote timely, informed decisions about patient care. The Bundle of Rays platform immerses health professionals into an education experience through the implementation of VR and AR.
