An Affordable, Virtual Reality Based Training Application for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

In Medical science, proficiency in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is considered as a vital skill for physicians. For training CPR, medical professionals use mechanical manikin which has some drawbacks when it comes to the realism of simulation and feedback performance. This paper presents Virtual Reality (VR) based solution address these shortcomings. The approach here augmenting with VR using HTC Vive, Leap Motion Controller, glove. To test acceptance this solution, user-based evaluation was carried out. 85.7% users who have participated expressed their preference upon CPR training. Even though overall depicts neutral output, study opens avenues future research combining into processes.
