Development of a Virtual Reality Trainer for the Prenatal Detection of Congenital Heart Disease
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Virtual Reality Trainer for the Prenatal Detection of Congenital Heart Disease and Associated Malformations project addresses the need to improve specialized training in prenatal diagnosis through immersive technologies. Its theoretical module, “My Friend the Lung”, gamifies learning about fetal cardiovascular anatomy through 3D puzzles, timed challenges, and badges, achieving good results in its pilot test, is noteworthy. The practical module simulates ultrasounds with haptic devices, reducing diagnostic errors and enabling the generation of personalized ultrasounds. A database with 1,200 labeled studies was consolidated as a fundamental source of information. The implementation aims to initially reduce clinical errors, with the potential to decrease perinatal mortality. This project fuses technological innovation, medical rigor, and interactive pedagogy, positioning gamification as an essential tool in medical education and laying the groundwork for its expansion to other specialties.
