Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Virtual Reality (VR) Technology
  • Haptic Feedback Systems

Background:

  • Traditional injection training methods lack realistic tactile feedback.
  • Standardized Patients (SPs) offer a safe yet limited simulation environment.
  • Need for advanced training tools to improve procedural skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a VR-based injection training system.
  • To integrate a novel haptic needle for realistic sensory feedback.
  • To enhance trainee preparedness for real-world patient procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a VR simulation environment featuring a virtual anatomical model.
  • Integration of an original haptic needle capable of rendering insertion forces.

  • Training of Standardized Patients (SPs) to realistically portray patient responses.
  • Trainee interaction with the virtual SP using the haptic needle for simulated injections.

    • Main Results:

    • The haptic needle successfully rendered realistic sensations of needle insertion.
    • Trainees could perform virtual punctures with tactile feedback.
    • The system provided a simulated experience comparable to real-world patient interaction.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed VR system with haptic feedback enhances injection training realism.
    • This technology offers a safe and effective platform for developing psychomotor skills.
    • It bridges the gap between simulation and actual clinical practice.
