Innovation in Simulation: Using Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence for Human Centered Medical Education
Main Article Content
Abstract
Simulation is evolving to include immersive technologies and artificial intelligence which provide adaptive, highly realistic and engaging learning experiences. These pedagogical tools will reshape the boundaries of simulation curriculum to provide educational experiences that foster unique scenarios beyond cardiac arrest and resuscitation skills training. For instance, extended reality simulations combined with artificial intelligence can provide challenging, humanities-based topics related to ethics, and enhance empathy through embodiment experiences, and navigate difficult conversations with compassion. In addition, unlike traditional mannikin based simulations, technology enhanced simulations have numerous advantages including asynchronous, highly adaptive learning experiences, that can be used in resource limited institutions and can conform to various cultures, languages, and customizable scenarios. This editorial explores the advantages of augmented reality and artificial intelligence simulation and shares a vision for a renewed focus on human-centered medical education.
