    Performance Monitoring via Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy for Virtual Reality Based Basic Life Support Training
    (FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2019-01-01) Aksoy, Emin; Izzetoglu, Kurtulus; Baysoy, Engin; Agrali, Atahan; Kitapcioglu, Dilek; Onaral, Banu
    The use of serious game tools in training of medical professions is steadily growing. However, there is a lack of reliable performance assessment methods to evaluate learner's outcome. The aim of this study is to determine whether functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can be used as an additional tool for assessing the learning outcome of virtual reality (VR) based learning modules. The hypothesis is that together with an improvement in learning outcome there would be a decrease in the participants' cerebral oxygenation levels measured from the prefrontal cortex (PFC) region and an increase of participants' serious gaming results. To test this hypothesis, the subjects were recruited and divided into four groups with different combinations of prior virtual reality experience and prior Basic Life Support (BLS) knowledge levels. A VR based serious gaming module for teaching BLS and 16-Channel fNIRS system were used to collect data from the participants. Results of the participants' scores acquired from the serious gaming module were compared with fNIRS measures on the initial and final training sessions. Kruskal Wallis test was run to determine any significant statistical difference between the groups and Mann-Whitney U test was utilized to obtain pairwise comparisons. BLS training scores of the participants acquired from VR based serious game's the learning management system and fNIRS measurements revealed decrease in use of resources from the PFC, but increase in behavioral performance. Importantly, brain-based measures can provide an additional quantitative metric for trainee's expertise development and can assist the medical simulation instructors.

    Comparing Basic Life Support Serious Gaming Scores With Hands-on Training Platform Performance Scores: Pilot Simulation Study for Basic Life Support Training
    (JMIR PUBLICATIONS, INC, 2020-01-01) Aksoy, Mehmet Emin
    Background: Serious games enrich simulation-based health care trainings and improve knowledge, skills, and self-confidence of learners while entertaining them. Objective: A platform which can combine performance data from a basic life support (BLS) serious game app and hands-on data based on the same scoring system is not available in the market. The aim of this study was to create such a platform and investigate whether performance evaluation of BLS trainings would be more objective compared to conventional Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OS CE) examinations if these evaluations were carried out with the platform which combines OSCE scoring criteria with sensor data retrieved from the simulator's sensors. Methods: Participants were 25 volunteers (11 men {[}44.0\%] and 14 {[}56.0] women) among Acibadem Mehmet Ali Aydmlar University students without prior knowledge of the BLS protocol. A serious game module has been created for teaching learners the European Resuscitation Council Basic Life Support 2015 protocol. A second module called the hands-on module was designed for educators. This module includes a checklist used for BLS OSCE examinations and can retrieve sensor data such as compression depth, compression frequency, and ventilation volume from the manikin (CPR Lilly
