ABSTRACT
We present initial results of SimMed, an ongoing interdisciplinary project for the use of interactive tables in medical education. The project is motivated by the need of combining theoretical knowledge with practice in medical education and the time-consuming task of finding appropriate patients for teaching. Students in medicine are able to interact realistically with a virtual patient displayed on the interactive table to diagnose and cure illnesses. The project is still under development.

The SimMed experience: medical education on interactive tabletops
ITS '13: Proceedings of the 2013 ACM international conference on Interactive tabletops and surfacesWe present SimMed, a novel tool for medical education that allows medical students to diagnose and treat a simulated patient in real-time. The students assume the roles of doctors, collaborating as they interact with the patient. To achieve immersion ...
SimMed: combining simulation and interactive tabletops for medical education
CHI '13: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsA large body of work asserts that interactive tabletops are well suited for group work, and numerous studies have examined these devices in educational contexts. However, few of the described systems support simulations for collaborative learning, and ...
