The convergence of Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming medical training, offering personalised learning experiences, enhancing engagement, and empowering educators with real-time insights. Despite the challenges and considerations, the benefits of AI in education are undeniable. Clinical training has seen significant advancements over the years, and now, with the adoption of technology, we can accelerate human capability through spatial immersive VR simulation. This innovation advances pre-human competence in surgery and other clinical environments, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Generative AI has the potential to elevate medical training even further. AI and advanced machine learning (ML) models provide expert guidance throughout the VR experience, allowing for immediate intervention and correction. This proactive approach ensures safer training environments, leading to better training results. An exemplary tool in this domain is Maia, integrated into the Fundamental Surgery Immersive VR Platform. Maia serves as a tutor, supporting learners throughout their training journey.
Maia engages in a two-way conversation with learners about the environment, such as the Cath Lab or Operating Room (OR), and procedure-specific knowledge. It acts as both a teacher and a coach, enhancing the learning experience by offering personalised verbal coaching. This reduces reliance on written instructions and increases the level of immersion in VR training.
