Virtual Reality with Moodle for Training in Telemedicine.

BACKGROUND

Telemedicine is increasingly integrated into healthcare, requiring robust training for healthcare professionals. Traditional training methods often lack realism and immersion, highlighting the need for innovative approaches.

OBJECTIVES

This study aims to integrate Virtual Reality with Moodle to enhance telemedicine education, focusing on chronic cardiac conditions.

METHODS

A VR-based training system was developed using Unity and WebXR, integrated with Moodle. The system includes a serious game with virtual patients created using Synthesia AI. Telemedicine experts configure training sessions via Moodle, while learners access preparatory materials and engage with the VR environment.

RESULTS

A usability test involving 12 participants showed high satisfaction scores (94.42% for learners, 98.29% for experts).

CONCLUSION

This study demonstrates the potential of integrating VR with Moodle to innovate telemedicine education. The approach offers personalized and accessible training experiences for healthcare professionals to improve telemedicine skills.
