SterileAR: Exploration of Augmented Reality and Computer Vision Approaches for Real-Time Feedback in Sterile Compounding Training

An Augmented Reality Training Application for Service and Maintenance of a Medical Analyzer: A UX Approach to Usefulness and User Satisfaction

“…There is significant research on AR capabilities within the healthcare industry, addressing the opportunities AR has, especially to improve or replace some conventional training methods [11], [12]. AR has been found useful and with strong affordances in healthcare education and training [4], [9], [13] due to its potential to make the learning process easier [12], decrease the time for training [19], provide trainers an outlet for assessment, and increase success rates [14]. Research has shown AR is cost-effective training in which everyone can practice real-world tasks [15], reduces human errors [17], provides feedback and navigation, provides remote assessment and training [12], and increases learners/employees' engagement and motivation [20].…”

“…In that regard, we had difficulties reporting the specific learning and training effects of the designed AR application. However, an imperfect study design is a very common limitation in many other AR training studies [1], [4], [16], [17], [18]. Future work is needed to create significant evidence of and insight into the training and learning outcomes of AR.…”

“…The accelerated evolution of augmented reality (AR) has brought forth new possibilities for developing innovative applications and has diversified the modalities of interacting with them. AR has become a fast-growing interactive technology for improved training and learning within various applications [1], [2], [3], [4]. AR blends real-world and digital information [5], with a live view of a real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated content, such as sound or graphics [6].…”

Mobile-Based Augmented Reality Application in Pharmacy Schools Implemented in Pharmaceutical Compounding Laboratories: Students’ Benefits and Reception

“…Moreover, drug companies and some media resources such as Pharmacy Times have utilized AR applications to provide extra drug information for users. Some studies have attempted to implement AR in pharmacy education such as clinical pharmacotherapy module, learning about specific medication module and sterile compounding training [ 8 , 9 , 11 ]. However, its application in pharmacy education is still limited [ 9 ].…”
