Outline of Final Research Achievements	Using a tracheal cannula management model, we aimed to create an environment in which tracheostomy management could be mastered, and to develop a method of acquiring skills by incorporating VR, which is now being used in the medical field. The tracheal cannula insertion exercise was conducted to learn the condition of the cuff, cannula tip position, relationship with the surrounding vital organs, and the risks involved if the cannula is not properly managed. 180-degree 3D VR educational materials were created, and the trainee was able to observe from the perspective of a high-resolution 3D viewer and the practitioner's line of sight by wearing VR goggles. Using a life-size 3D laryngotracheal model, trainee was able to move around the model while viewing it stereoscopically in VR, deepening their understanding of the laryngotracheal anatomy. We created a VR material that imitated a robotic operating room, and constructed an environment for learning through a virtual experience.
Free Research Field	教育工学
Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	モデルを用いたシミュレーションやVR教材により、解剖学的構造や手技を体験的に学ぶことができる。リアルな手術環境を再現することで、仮想体験ができ、臨床経験不足を補うことができる。VR教育ツールを用いた学習成果や技術習得度のデータを蓄積することで、教育カリキュラムの改善に役立てることができる。教育の質が向上することで、医療従事者の技術力が高まる。対面実習が困難な地域や状況でも、VR教材を利用することで同等の学習体験を提供でき、教育機会の格差を縮小することができる。これらの意義により、医療分野の教育の質を向上させることが期待できる。
