Abstract

Introduction: Augmented reality (AR) technology is rapidly evolving and is finding an increasing application in education, including medical training. This feasibility study aimed to explore the usability and didactic potential of AR with the HoloLens2™ for medical students, teaching the primary survey of burn wounds.

Methods: This feasibility study was conducted using a prospective observational cohort design. Test groups consisted of participants with limited (n = 18), moderate (n = 10), or high (n = 5) experience in burn care, and filled in a questionnaire after training with the HoloLens2™.

Results: Outcomes of the questionnaires show AR to be a promising technology for educating medical students in the primary survey of burn wounds.

Discussion: However promising, there is further need for development in usability and image quality. The ability to simulate realistic scenarios in a safe and scalable environment could pave the way for a new era for medical education, where AR becomes a valuable supplement or even replacement for traditional learning methods.

增强现实在烧伤初级调查医学教育中的应用：一项探索性研究。

简介：增强现实（AR）技术正在迅速发展，并在包括医疗培训在内的教育领域得到越来越多的应用。这项可行性研究旨在探索AR与HoloLens2™的可用性和教学潜力，为医学生提供烧伤创面的初步调查教学。方法：采用前瞻性观察队列设计进行可行性研究。试验组由烧伤护理经验有限（n = 18）、中度（n = 10）或高度（n = 5）的参与者组成，并在使用HoloLens2™培训后填写问卷。结果：问卷调查结果显示，AR技术在烧伤创面初步调查中对医学生进行教育是一种很有前途的技术。讨论：尽管前景看好，但在可用性和图像质量方面还需要进一步发展。在安全和可扩展的环境中模拟现实场景的能力可以为医学教育的新时代铺平道路，在这个时代，AR将成为传统学习方法的有价值的补充甚至替代。
