Abstract

We have developed a system using Mixed Reality (MR) and sensor devices to aid Basic Life Support (BLS) self-training. Our system can provide BLS trainees with the real-time feedback of training score and post-training score visualization. It combines visual information provided by a MR device and physical input data such as chest compression depth and recoil obtained from sensor devices. Our system was utilized by a group of nurses (from novices to experts) to evaluate its usability and effectiveness. The result shows that it assists BLS trainees with consistent self-training and offers valuable feedback, especially through score visualization, though we found that there were problems with the visibility and usability of real-time feedback elements. This study suggests that our system can complement conventional On-the-Job Training (OJT) based BLS training and has potential for broader application in clinical education.
