ILLINOIS

We develop virtual, augmented, and mixed reality systems to train medical students and professionals in a low-risk environment. We collaborate with the Jump Simulation Center and provide simulation training for the Carle Illinois College of Medicine and local health care organizations. Incorporating these engineering and technology components into medical education results in well-rounded health care providers. We develop curriculum based around the principles of simulation technology and smart health for universities, continuing education, and certification programs... With the advent of wearable sensors, voice-assisted devices, seamless network data collection, cloud processing, and more, health care is becoming smarter than ever. No matter how technological health care becomes, it will always be about the encounter between the patient and the provider. Research in human factors strives to reduce human errors, increase success of health care procedures, and enhance patient safety..
