Sensors, motion tracking, and data science: the quest to train MD ’ s like elite athletes
NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series In the SEnSE lab, medical simulation and innovative technology are used to objectively assess clinical, hands-on performance. We are a multidisciplinary lab that includes people from a broad range of specialties. The team is comprised of individuals with backgrounds in engineering, medicine, kinesiology, biostatistics, and others working together towards improving medical education and the way clinical competency is assessed. The design and fabrication of sensorized simulators combine technology and clinical models that allow for the assessment of technical skill, opera...
