Academics from the Faculty of Medicine and Health were looking for another mode of teaching to support the physiotherapy program's students learning the practice of auscultation. The idea was to create a patient and stethoscope simulation that allowed the students to practice the locations and the what to listen for with various conditions using virtual reality.
Project Details
The experience allows students to position the stethoscope at various points on one of the virtual patients and then listen to the audio change and shift as they do so to try and diagnose the conditions present.
TECHNOLOGY & DEVELOPMENT
The active design and development of the project continues in collaboration with Physiotherapy staff and students. The staff and work integrated learning student developers are using the Unity game engine to bring together all the elements and deliver the VR experience using our Meta Quest 3 headsets.
Get Involved
There are internal Teams Channels, Miro Boards and working groups covering the development collaboration with Medicine & Health - Physiotherapy academics. To find out more, join the team, get a demo or have your class or promotion use-case included just get in touch.
