3D SIM – Medical E-Training System

Use of interactive, serious games based applications for vocational training is rapidly increasing in many sectors.

To address the needs of the healthcare industry, we developed  a 3D simulation environment for vocational training of medical personnel (doctors, nurses, technicians, students) for various medical processes. The system consists of multi-platform end user applications (Web for PC and Mac computers, iPad and Android tablets) and a SCORM/ Tin Can (Experince API – xAPI) compliant Learning Management System.

With these serious game applications, the trainee is presented with different roles in a 3D realistic environment and is first given a step by step interactive training for proper medical processes to be followed.

After completing the training, the trainee is presented with different cases and challenges to try out his/her knowledge.

All interactions within the simulation (Serious Games) is measured and tracked using the SCORM/ Tin Can API and can be evaluated and reported.

The serious game based medical training system can be used as an effective preparatory stage to prepare the trainees before training on hands-on simulators.

This project has been selected for support by TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) within high priority  R&D support grant (1511) Program.
