Stud Health Technol Inform. 2023 Jun 29:305:323-326. doi: 10.3233/SHTI230495.

Abstract

This article describes the results of three different study settings where the use of QR codes and XR technologies were tested for medical device training among 132 social and health care professionals. Data from three types of learning events and different contents of training indicated that the professionals considered these novel technologies both beneficial for learning and useful in their working environments for training safe use of medical devices. Based on the collected data, these technologies can be considered prospective options for medical device training.

Keywords: QR code; XR technologies; medical device; patient safety; social and health care; training.
