Organ Donation Training using VR: ODT-VR

Abstract

Organ transplantation has become very important for treating organ diseases and new technologies have been developed to increase the donor pool. Virtual Reality (VR) has been proven to be a valuable tool for training in medical education. This paper presents a VR application designed to simulate the medical protocol needed for the management of a deceased organ donation process called Uncontrolled Donation after Circulatory determination of Death (uDCD). Results from an explorative study on five medical experts in the area are presented, and future opportunities for improvement are discussed in the paper.
