About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Hypoglycemia

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Trainees/ faculty working and/or volunteering at LPCH/SHC facilities as well as community based prehospital providers 18 years and older Exclusion Criteria: Participants who do not consent Have a history of severe motion sickness Currently have nausea History of seizures Are clinically unstable Currently using corrective glasses (not compatible with AR headset) Currently pregnant

Sites / Locations

  • Mountain View Fire Department
  • Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Augmented Reality Enhanced Simulation (Treatment group)

Arm Description

Each simulation will have between two and five participants. After consent, demographic data will be collected. Then, a study RA will fit a Magic Leap One (ML1) headsets (Magic Leap Inc., Plantation, FL) to participants. Following a scripted briefing, the instructor will also orient the participants to the ML1 headset for those in that group. After orienting the participant to the use of the headsets, the instructor will remain in a room separate from the participants, who will conduct the scenario outside. This will enable assessment of the feasibility of providing simulation instruction remotely. Prior to starting the scenario, the simulation instructor will conduct an orientation to review the core tenets of effective communication skills during prehospital care.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Thematic Analysis of Post-Simulation Discussions
The primary aim is to study the acceptance of AR simulation amongst prehospital providers via thematic analysis of semi-structured discussions using qualitative research methods.

Secondary Outcome Measures

System Usability Scale (SUS)
The first secondary aim is to evaluate AR simulation usability amongst prehospital providers via the System Usability Scale (SUS).
Headset Ergonomics
The final secondary aim will evaluate the ergonomics of the headset via the ISO 9241-400 assessment of human-ergonomic factors.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The goal is to evaluate the acceptance of Augmented Reality (AR) simulation as a learning modality for prehospital providers. The simulation itself is grounded in traditional best practices for simulation delivery and design as well as prior literature on simulation training for prehospital providers; the focus of this study is the participants' experiential interaction with AR and the simulation resources.

Augmented Reality Headset
Intervention Description
The simulation scenario will be a pediatric hypoglycemia-induced seizure case, which will be done through an AR simulation. AR (Augmented Reality) headset, which is a device that the participants will wear over their head and eyes and will add holographic elements to a live view of workplace training scenario.
