Augmented Reality Simulation for Teaching Medical Students

描述(由申请者提供)：大部分医疗程序技能是在医学院和住院医师培训期间学习的。然而，学生学习这些技能的时间和途径正在减少。医科学生在与患者直接互动时，临床表现有所改善，但随着医学院班级规模的增加，学生获得动手培训的机会越来越少。传统的教学方法，如讲座和教科书，在教授学生动手临床技能方面效果有限；因此，越来越需要能够重现现实临床情景的教育工具，以更好地吸引和教育医学生。ArchieMD，Inc.计划为医学生开发增强现实(AR)人体模型原型，将逼真的医学人体模型与立体视频透视双目护目镜显示器相结合。在第一阶段，Archie MD将使用这项技术作为原型，并评估为培训医学生而设计的增强现实患者模拟器 公共卫生相关性：该项目可能会通过为医科学生提供高保真增强现实医学人体模型的临床培训来潜在地影响公共健康。为医学生提供更多高质量的动手培训将使他们在医生职业生涯中获得更好的临床技能和表现。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The majority of medical procedural skills are learned during medical school and residency training. However, the amount of time and access students have to learn these skills is declining. Medical students have improved clinical performance when they have direct interaction with patients, yet as medical school class sizes increase, students have less access to hands-on training. Traditional teaching methods such as lectures and textbooks have a limited efficacy in teaching students hands-on clinical skills; thus there is an increasing need for educational tools that can recreate realistic clinical scenarios to better engage and educate medical students. ArchieMD, Inc plans to develop prototype augmented reality (AR) mannequin system for medical students, combining a life-like medical mannequin and a stereoscopic video see-through binocular goggle display. In Phase I, Archie MD will use this technology for a prototype and evaluate augmented reality patient simulator designed to train medical students PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This project could potentially impact public health by providing medical students with clinical training on high-fidelity, augmented reality medical mannequins. Providing more high-quality hands-on training to medical students will yield better clinical skills and performance during their careers as doctors.
