Project Overview

via VR Hive

Feb 2023 - May 2023

The NHS Education Scotland (NES) EndoBox project is a VR application developed via the VR Hive, aimed at advancing colonoscopy soft skills training. Tailored specifically for endoscopy students and nurses in remote-rural areas, this application serves as a vital tool in enhancing proficiency in essential procedures. By simulating real-world scenarios in a virtual environment, it provides an immersive learning experience, bridging the accessibility gap in medical education for underserved communities. The project was presented at the annual NES conference in May 2023 with Brian Rafferty.

The environment was tailored to NHS specifications, with specific colonoscopy assets including a colonoscope, an endoscopy stack, and a scope trolley, all created to enhance training effectiveness.

Miro board shows the many steps involved in a colonoscopy, with mapped learning objectives aligned to over 100 decision points. It features a points and feedback system for user engagement and progress tracking. Using Miro, I mapped the user experience and created a delivery roadmap to ensure timely milestones.
