Juntendo University and Jolly Good Co., Ltd. will jointly develop an infectious disease medical care VR that allows you to experience and learn realistic infectious disease medical care in the actual "COVID-19 medical care ward".
This initiative is being carried out as part of the project adopted by Juntendo University in the 2020 Third Supplementary Budget Project "Infectious Disease Medical Human Resources Training Project" of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and is an actual infectious disease medical care ward for medical students. The development of VR teaching materials that can be practiced in Japan will be the first initiative in Japan.
Infectious disease control education for medical students is provided with classroom education such as a general outline, but it is extremely difficult to enter the actual infectious disease medical care ward, and practical countermeasure training has not been possible. The situation continues.Even at Juntendo University, clinical training for students is currently restricted, which has the effect of not being able to accumulate the experience points required for medical students who will lead the next generation.In addition, infectious disease medical care and infection control require cooperation among multiple occupations, and it is said that sufficient training is required not only for medical school students but also for nursing students and physiotherapy students.
Therefore, at Juntendo University, we have developed an educational program that allows you to experience on-site medical treatment as a person involved in infectious diseases such as COVID-19 in a virtual space that is completely reproduced based on the actual COVID-19 medical treatment ward in the university. However, we plan to verify the effects of medical students, nursing students, and physiotherapy students.
Jolly Good Co., Ltd. is a medical technology company that develops high-precision VR solutions and services for medical welfare using AI that analyzes user behavior in VR space. With technologies such as VR and AI, we will accelerate the growth and rehabilitation of people, such as medical education, support for persons with disabilities, and treatment of mental illness, and develop services that support the evolution of medical care and the purpose of life of people with various research institutions and companies. ing.
