Interactive Scenario Simulation to Learn Medical Technology in the Patient Care Context
(2012) International Workshop on Intelligent Healthcare Systems- Abstract
- Abstract in Undetermined
Caring for intensive care patients involves extensive use of
medical technology. When staff are educated in working
with these devices, the focus is on practical management.
The context in which they are used is however very
complex and the device cannot be seen as a separate
component. Knowledge about for example the patient’s
medical status and background must also be considered
when acting on a specific alarm. There is a gap between
learning how to handle the medical technology and learning
how to care for the patient that we believe could be bridged
by making advanced, educational aids available in the daily
practice. We present a prototype of an interactive... (More) - Abstract in Undetermined
Caring for intensive care patients involves extensive use of

The context in which they are used is however very

learning how to handle the medical technology and learning
how to care for the patient that we believe could be bridged
by making advanced, educational aids available in the daily
practice. We present a prototype of an interactive computerbased
scenario simulation for learning to work with medical
technology in the patient care context. The paper describes
the user-centred design process and the prototype itself, and
concludes with a discussion about the motivation of using
this type of educational aid. (Less)
