In order to minimize reliance on traditional cadaver-based techniques, Mahidol University’s Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital has developed a ground-breaking training system using virtual truth to instruct medical procedures involving physical anatomy.
Details were made available at the earlier this month studio collaborating with South Korea’s SurgiMind Inc. to” Advancing Education with 3D Anatomy Software and Virtual Reality for Facial Injections.”
Dr Apichat Asavamongkolkul, dean of the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, emphasised the school’s commitment to modernising health training using technology.
” One of the school’s core operations is to produce grads, healthcare experts and specialised doctors who can meet future need”, he said.
” Now, technology plays a vital role in the health industry. It increases learning effectiveness while reducing tool usage.
Medical students started performing cosmetic procedures using tomato skins to create individual body body, according to Dr. Rungsima Wanitphakdeedecha, mind of the school’s Department of Dermatology and Siriraj Skin Laser Center.
They then move on to cadaver-based training and then switch to artificial models with artificial skin.
But, Dr. Rungsima said that cosmetic procedures like botulinum toxin and cutaneous filler injections use corpse resources and necessitate the development of alternative training techniques.
She said this led to a partnership with SurgiMind in 2019.
Kim Il, CEO of SurgiMind, said the latest medical technology involves mixed reality ( MR), which combines VR and augmented truth.
He claimed that the system enables students to control and visualize 3D anatomical models in real-world settings using specially designed lenticular glasses. This interactive technology enables real-world clinical experience.
Mr. Kim added that the program’s creators are also creating animal models to simulate cosmetic movements. They are anticipated to get introduced within two years.
The program is available to Mahidol University individuals for free as an online program. Plans for global growth and gamification are underway, to help guarantee students enjoy an interesting, present educational experience.
” This program exemplifies Siriraj Hospital’s commitment to advancing health education, study and healthcare providers, and driving international progress in medical technology and medical training”, Mr Kim said.
The program is a partnership between the Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University and South Korea’s SurgicalMind.
