The Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, in collaboration with ImmaCreate Co., Ltd., aims to realize clinical training that can be done in a non-face-to-face and non-contact manner in order to secure the learning of medical students who deal with the new coronavirus infection. Developed virtual training materials for practical training.We created clinical procedure teaching materials (chest auscultation, abdominal palpation, patellar tendon reflex) using "Nap" of ImmaCreate Co., Ltd., which promotes the digitization of body movements by virtual technology and its social implementation.

 Due to the recent changes in the environment caused by the new corona, it is difficult for medical students to practice medical treatment with actual patients.However, it is difficult to learn medical technology because it is not possible to have the experience of "actually trying it for yourself" just by learning by watching videos such as classroom lectures and videos and VR.

 Therefore, the Graduate School of Medicine has adopted ImmaCreate's original virtual technology "Nap" that visualizes the movement of the body itself in virtual space using a 3D model.We have jointly developed a virtual training tool that virtually displays the movements of doctors standing in the actual medical field and allows medical students to repeatedly practice their movements with virtual patients while moving their bodies.

 This will enable medical students to learn medical techniques in a non-face-to-face and non-contact manner with patients and doctors, and because it is virtual training, it will be possible to practice regardless of time, place, or the presence or absence of a dedicated model. ..
