Medical engineers will be trained using VR technology

Young scientists of LETI have developed a digital service for training medical engineers using VR-technologies. The system will help them gain practical skills in repair and maintenance of such devices.

The educational module will teach the proper handling of evidence and collection of evidence through real case examples

According to the authors of the project, in recent years there has been a growing shortage of qualified specialists in the field of medical equipment maintenance, which is becoming more complex and expensive every year. At the same time, training on real equipment is hampered by the complexity of the design of modern equipment and the impossibility of recreating various breakdowns. In addition, additional costs for transportation and accommodation during advanced training affect the availability of quality education.

"To solve this problem, we have developed modular software SeVRis, which uses virtual reality (VR) technologies to train specialists in repair and maintenance of various types of modern medical equipment," Ruslan Suvorov, the project leader, a member of the student scientific society (SSO) of the CDIO-FIBS Laboratory of SPbGETU "LETI" told Izvestia Ruslan Suvorov.

The service provides access to interactive and detailed virtual models of various medical devices that simulate their real work, such as pulse oximeters, X-ray machines, MRI and CT machines.
