Prehospital Provider Training With Augmented Reality (AR)

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Pediatric ALL; Hypoglycemia
• Interventions: Behavioral: Augmented Reality Headset

• 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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Augmented Reality Enhanced Simulation (Treatment group)	Augmented Reality Headset	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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Thematic Analysis of Post-Simulation Discussions	Duration of post-simulation debrief (15-20 minutes)	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

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