Ready Medic One: A Feasibility Study of a Semi-Autonomous Virtual Reality Trauma Simulator

Abstract

Introduction: Virtual reality (VR) technologies have rapidly advanced and offer increasingly higher fidelity visually immersive learning environments. Several studies have shown promise for using VR in medical education. This pilot study evaluates the feasibility of using a novel VR trauma simulator that can function without an instructor, assessing potential challenges with the technology, perceived realism of the simulation, side effects experienced while completing the simulations, and overall perception of training utility from end-users.
