Immersive Virtual Patients with Abnormal Clinical Conditions for Medical Student

这项工作提出了向医学生揭露和反馈异常情况 通过使用身临其境的虚拟患者(VP)了解临床情况。身临其境的副总裁 是高度互动的、计算机生成的、真人大小的虚拟3D角色。作为医疗服务 教育工作者很难为学生提供足够的异常体验 临床情况下，测试学生使用的患者有异常发现 很难计划。VPS可以满足互动曝光的这一关键教育需求。这个 目的是使用VP系统为学生提供互动和反馈 涉及异常临床发现的情景。 VPS的动态属性在呈现异常方面提供了显著的好处 条件。目标是将VP的使用作为SP的强大补充，并 在医学教育课程中使用物理模拟器。 目标1？开发一组视力模糊的虚拟患者的概念验证集 让医科学生接触到异常发现。我们建议创建一套 一位视力模糊的虚拟患者的三种体验。模糊的视线将是 由下列原因之一引起：1)脑神经损伤，2)糖尿病 视网膜疾病，或3)脑肿块(脑肿瘤)。所有条件都以SIMILAR开头 开始采访。但随着面试的进行，学生需要谨慎地使用 目视观察和互动考试。视力模糊很难重现 患者标准化，没有现有的人体模型或物理模拟器。 目标2？开发一个能够向医学生提供反馈的系统 基于他们对异常发现的了解。系统将评估学生的 与视力模糊的虚拟患者进行交互。然后，系统将提供反馈 向学生介绍他们在医患互动中的行为。反馈将集中在 在面谈、眼科检查、关键症状观察和鉴别诊断上。 目标#3？试行测试异常发现虚拟患者与 教育课程。我们建议将生成的系统集成到医疗 教育课程。在佛罗里达大学，三年级的医学生在他们的 手术旋转会暴露在视力模糊的虚拟患者面前。覆盖后 视线模糊在讲座中，学生们会体验到一个虚拟的病人 出现三种视力模糊情况之一。这项工作将通过让医科学生接触到罕见的或 很难模拟场景。医学生将与计算机生成的 有异常情况的3D沉浸式虚拟患者。

This work proposes to expose and provide feedback to medical students on abnormal clinical conditions through the use of immersive virtual patients (VPs). Immersive VPs are highly interactive, computer-generated, life-size virtual 3D characters. As medical educators have difficulty in providing students with sufficient experiences with abnormal clinical conditions, testing students using patients with abnormal findings has been difficult to plan. VPs can fill this critical education need for interactive exposure. The aim is to use a VP system to provide students with interactions and feedback in scenarios involving abnormal clinical findings. The dynamic attribute of VPs provides significant benefits in presenting abnormal conditions. The goal is to establish the use of VPs as a powerful addition to SPs and physical simulators in the medical education curriculum. Aim #1 ¿ Develop a proof-of-concept set of virtual patients with blurred vision to expose medical students to abnormal findings. We propose creating a set of three experiences of a virtual patient with blurred vision. The blurred vision will be caused by one of the following: 1) An injury to one of the cranial nerves, 2) diabetic retinal disease, or 3) cranial mass (brain tumor). All conditions begin with a similar starting interview. But as the interview progresses, the student needs to employ careful visual observation and interactive exams. Blurred vision is difficult to reproduce with standardized patients and has no existing mannequin or physical simulators. Aim #2 ¿ Develop a system capable of providing feedback to medical students on their knowledge of abnormal findings. The system will evaluate the student's interaction with the blurred vision virtual patient. The system will then provide feedback to the student on their conduct of the patient-doctor interaction. The feedback will focus on the interview, eye-exam, observation of key symptoms, and differential diagnosis. Aim #3 ¿ Pilot-test the integration of abnormal findings virtual patients into the education curriculum. We propose to integrate the resulting system into the medical education curriculum. At the University of Florida, 3rd year medical students in their surgical rotation will be exposed to the blurred vision virtual patient. After covering blurred vision conditions in lectures, students would experience a virtual patient presenting one of three blurred vision conditions. This work will improve public health by exposing medical students to infrequent or difficult to simulate scenarios. Medical students will interact with computer-generated 3D immersive virtual patients with abnormal conditions.
