HoloLens2™ augmented reality enhanced remote teaching significantly improved otolaryngology student performance and engagement. This technology offers a valuable tool for future medical education, overcoming pandemic-related training disruptions.

Area of Science:

Medical Education Technology
Augmented Reality in Healthcare
Otolaryngology Training

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted medical education, particularly hands-on training in specialties like otolaryngology.
Remote learning strategies are increasingly adopted, necessitating evaluation of new technological tools.
This study explored the efficacy of integrating HoloLens2™ augmented reality into remote case-based teaching.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the impact of HoloLens2™ enhanced remote case-based teaching on otolaryngology student performance.
To assess student engagement and perceptions of this novel educational technology.

Main Methods:

A randomized educational design study compared conventional remote teaching with HoloLens2™ enhanced remote teaching.

Keywords:

anatomy education medical education neck lump training undergraduate education

Identical educational content and learning outcomes were used for both groups (n=56).

Student performance was measured via pre- and post-intervention quizzes; engagement was assessed using tally marks and feedback questionnaires.

Main Results:

HoloLens2™ enhanced teaching significantly improved student performance by 15% (p < 0.001).
Sessions using HoloLens2™ encouraged four times more questions (p < 0.05) and were perceived as more enjoyable and effective for concept demonstration.
No significant difference was found in objective overall engagement measurements, though subjective feedback indicated increased engagement.

Conclusions:

Augmented reality, specifically HoloLens2™, offers a promising enhancement for remote medical education, improving learning outcomes and student engagement.
This technology can help mitigate training limitations caused by disruptions like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Future applications may include inter-institutional and international remote medical education collaborations.
