Augmented reality has the ability to revolutionize the healthcare system. Notably, for medical students and doctors. Studies demonstrate that interactive learning is the most effective way for medical information to be disseminated to medical students and professionals. This project seeks to develop an app for women’s sexual health that will assist in physician and medical student education through augmented reality.
Women’s health (WH) is an area where research has indicated that significant barriers still exist for optimal patient outcomes. One of these barriers is healthcare professional education and training. By way of example, in a 2021 study on Canadian medical school training, Anderson and Gagliardi (2021) concluded: “based on program and course descriptions, WH may not be well-integrated at Canadian medical schools, and future physicians may not be consistently exposed to the full breadth of WH. This reveals opportunities for enhancing WH in the medical curriculum. Future research is needed to engage stakeholders including women in developing, implementing and evaluating competencies and corresponding curriculum that reflect the full range of WH concepts and practices.”
