Using mixed reality for medical training and assessment

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a mixed reality simulation training platform called HoloSIM, which utilizes the Microsoft Hololens headset to create interactive holographic patients. The research will be conducted in two stages: first, the HoloSIM software will be developed and usability tested with acute care medicine specialties, and second, its effectiveness will be compared to traditional mannequin-based crisis simulations. The goal is to enhance decision-making skills and management in complex medical scenarios, particularly in settings where high-fidelity simulation is not feasible due to various constraints.
