This e-learning simulation project makes it possible for medical students to practise conducting a diagnostic discussion with a "virtual patient". The online version is based on [VASE_1] a recent research project of the [WGLN] at the [Learning Lab Lower Saxony], Hannover. It has been developed to a preliminary state at the College of Fine Arts Braunschweig, [Institute of Media Research] in cooperation with the [Karolinska Institute], Stockholm. The further development, complete new programming and authoring in [LiveStage Pro], based on QXSE, of this beta version has been realized by Heizo Schulze [HZO Film & Medien], Berlin. |
Based on these simulated conversations with a "virtual patient", the future doctor can practise diagnostic technique, trying to determine the ailment at hand. The patient is played by an actor who acts out a range of reactions. These responses are captured on digital video and organised in a databank. The fundamental principle is to analyse and represent the type of conversation that a doctor would have with his or her patient. Interaction occurs by entering text on the keyboard. The process is organised by structuring certain words, and combinations thereof, to create a film that provides a suitable reaction or answer, in a dynamic manner, edited in real time. |
Simulation and visualisation techniques have previously been used with good methodological and educational results in WGLN and related projects. Two examples of WGLN projects which respond to challenges in learning to deal with medical problems, diagnosing them and finding the appropriate treatment - the [ISP-VL] and [PharmaPac] projects. There are other examples of effective medical training applications, for example, in critical anaesthesiology and emergency care. |

"Typemovie" requires [QuickTime] AND the [QXSE Component] from Totally Hip to add extensive wired actions. You are asked to download and install this neat component. Otherwise "typemovie" will fail.
