Modeling and Similitude

262
Scaled modeling is a fundamental technique in engineering, enabling the study of large and complex systems by creating smaller, manageable replicas that recreate critical characteristics of the original. In hydrology and civil infrastructure, for example, scaled models of dams help analyze water flow, turbulence, and pressure. This method allows for accurate predictions of real-world behavior within a controlled environment, significantly reducing the cost and time involved in full-scale...

Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Medical Simulation Technology
  • 3D Printing Applications

Background:

  • Technological advancements have improved health care education, but simulation technology accessibility remains a challenge.
  • 3D-printed simulators offer a potential solution for enhancing health profession education.
  • Facilitating technology transfer from universities to nonprofit organizations (NPOs) can improve global health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the role of open-source databases in distributing 3D-printed simulator designs.
  • To identify strategies for promoting credible healthcare training solutions while mitigating commercialization risks.
  • To address limitations in the accessibility and use of simulation technology in health professions education.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review following the Arksey and O'Malley framework and Joanna Briggs Institute guidance.
  • Searches of Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and PsycINFO (2012-2022), supplemented by gray literature and reference lists.
  • Inclusion of papers on open-source databases for simulator design distribution in academic and healthcare settings, with a two-step screening process and dual reviewer data extraction.

Main Results:

  • The review will identify gaps in partnerships between NPOs and university research centers for sharing simulator designs.
  • Anticipated initiation of the scoping review in December 2024.
  • The results will inform strategies for effective distribution of 3D-printed simulator designs.

Conclusions:

  • The findings will be valuable for healthcare providers, researchers, and NPOs seeking to improve simulation technology use and distribution.
  • The review aims to bridge research gaps concerning the accessibility and sharing of simulation designs.
  • The scoping review is yet to be conducted, with no findings available at this time.
