A Web-based E-training Platform for biomedical engineering education

Abstract

This paper presents the results of the Leonardo da Vinci project (Transfer of Innovation), named “A Web-based E-Training Platform for Extended Human Motion Investigation in Orthopaedics”. The project addresses to medical and engineering professionals, proposing formation of specialists that will systematically apply the principles of medical and bioengineering sciences in finding solutions that will lead in improving health conditions. The main outcome of the project was a Virtual Training & Communication Centre ORTHO-eMAN for innovative education - on-line educational and training material accessed via a standard web browser, which provides an integrated on-line learning environment. Interactivity allows trainees to test their knowledge and provides immediate feedback using images and cases that they might encounter in clinical practice.
