Medical and nursing education plays a key role in preparing students for clinical challenges. To overcome equipment and resource limitations, researchers explore accessible methods like virtual reality (VR) and haptic feedback. This work presents a gamified palpation simulation, focused on deep and light palpation, integrated with a haptic glove (WEART G1) and an evaluation system. Built in Unity, the system enables users to feel virtual patient interactions while recording data for expert comparison. User testing and feedback support ongoing improvements to training effectiveness.

摘要

Medical and nursing education plays a key role in preparing students for clinical challenges. To overcome equipment and resource limitations, researchers explore accessible methods like virtual reality (VR) and haptic feedback. This work presents a gamified palpation simulation, focused on deep and light palpation, integrated with a haptic glove (WEART G1) and an evaluation system. Built in Unity, the system enables users to feel virtual patient interactions while recording data for expert comparison. User testing and feedback support ongoing improvements to training effectiveness.
