Existing work – CIT IV fluid module

Leave a reply

Here is one example of work we have already done at Oztron.  This IV fluid module was created with Canberra Institute of Technology and University of Canberra to teach students the process of administering an IV fluid.  It is designed for learning.

A few notes;

  • We will also be using the unity3d engine for development
  • Visuals require more work
  • This was only accessible on PC – tablet versions would be useful
  • The questions and answers are still quite traditional in nature and not so natural

Existing work – Aesclepia patient bots

Leave a reply

The Aesclepia patient bots were developed by Oztron Media for Monash University, for inter-professional learning between pharmacy and medical students.
Students interview the bots in pharmacy student or medical student groups, then discuss with the other group what diagnosis they have arrived at and why.

A few notes;

  • Visually appealing.
  • One thing this project has struggled with is training the AI bots – which requires that both pharmacy and medical students trial the software extensively.  Getting large numbers of students with free time in these areas is challenging.
  • We need to look at alternate chat systems if we are to use a more natural chat style of learning.
