Mixed Reality Manikins for Medical Education
نویسندگان
چکیده
In medical education, human patient simulators, or manikins, are a well established method of teaching medical skills. The current state of the art manikins are limited in their functions by a fixed number of in-built hardware devices, such as pressure sensors and motor actuators that control the manikin behaviors and responses. In this work, we review several research projects, where applied techniques from the fields of Augmented and Mixed Reality allowed to significantly expand manikin functionality. We will pay special attention to tactile augmentation, and describe in detail a fully functional ‘touch-enabled” human manikin, developed at SimTiki Medical Simulation Center, University of Hawaii. Also, we will outline possible extensions of the proposed touch-augmented human patient simulator and share our thoughts on the future directions in use of Augmented Reality in medical education.

متن کاملMobile Mixed Reality for Experiential Learning and Simulation in Medical and Health Sciences Education
New accessible learning methods delivered through mobile mixed reality are becoming possible in education, shifting pedagogy from the use of two dimensional images and videos to facilitating learning via interactive mobile environments. This is especially important in medical and health education, where the required knowledge acquisition is typically much more experiential, self-directed, and h...
متن کاملSimulation in Em Training Title: Simulation in Emergency Medicine Training
Simulation provides a range of educational tools which have increasingly been incorporated into emergency medicine (EM) curricula. Standardized patients and some partial task trainers, such as intubation heads, and have been used for decades. More recently, a growing number of computer screen simulations, high-fidelity mannequins, and virtual reality simulators have expanded the number of proce...
