Education Platform of Congenital Heart Disease Based on Mixed Reality Technology

Recently the Mixed Reality (MR) technology has a rapid development and strong application prospect in various fields. This technology has been successfully applied in clinical work by means of surgical navigation and puncture positioning. However, there is few reports about MR technology’s applications in China. Therefore, based on the MR technology, a medical education platform was designed for related professions through the reconstruction of 3D heart model. Because of the various types of congenital heart diseases and the comprehensive medical knowledge system involved, it will start from congenital heart disease and expand to other organs later. The teaching mode was enriched and basic and clinical teaching materials were provided. And students’ interests were motivated and learning efficiency was strengthened. An equal communication mechanism between teachers and students was constructed. Experimental results show that both teachers and students benefit from this proposed platform.
