Prehospital Provider Training With Augmented Reality (AR)

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Pediatric ALL
Hypoglycemia
Registration Number
NCT05686590
Lead Sponsor
Thomas Caruso
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.
