New Program for Novice Researchers! The SSH Academy is pleased to announce the launch of a new program that has been developed to support novice researchers in healthcare simulation. The Virtual Scholar’s program, led by Aaron Calhoun and Jill Sanko, will help develop your knowledge and skills in designing, developing, and completing research in healthcare simulation. It is a mixture of in-person workshops (at IMSH 2020) and virtually supported work throughout the year—with the goal of presenting your project at IMSH 2021!
If you want to find out more about the program, please go to the Virtual Scholars Program webpage and take a look. There is a lot going on in research in healthcare simulation—the Fellows of the SSH Academy are looking forward to helping a new generation of researchers learn how—and to contribute to the growing body of evidence that shows how the importance and value of healthcare simulation.
Applications to be a part of the pilot program are due by May 15—with notifications to be completed in August for those who are accepted into this first cohort. ~ Andrew Spain
 In the field of health care, knowledge and clinical reasoning are key with regard to quality and confidence in decision making. The development of knowledge and clinical reasoning is influenced not only by students’ intrinsic factors but also by extrinsic factors such as satisfaction with taught content, pedagogic resources and pedagogic methods, and the nature of the objectives and challenges proposed.
Nowadays, professors play the role of learning facilitators rather than simple “lecturers” and face students as active learners who are capable of attributing individual meanings to their personal goals, challenges, and experiences to build their own knowledge over time.

Virtual reality promises to immerse users in whole new worlds with just a smartphone and a headset. But forget playing video games and watching movies – UC Davis researchers say it could help kids with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder navigate the real world. A study by the University of California, Davis, Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders Institute will test whether VR technology can help kids with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder reduce their sensitivity to distractions.

B-Line Medical
B-Line Medical is pleased to announce they’ve joined forces with Laerdal to build the definitive LMS for healthcare simulation. This partnership focuses on seamless product integration and expanding the capabilities of SimCapture’s industry leading LMS. Our collective goal is to improve the ease of administering healthcare simulation education and training. As part of this partnership, Laerdal and B-Line Medical will develop and distribute turn-key healthcare simulation solutions. This full-service and combined approach should make the vendor selection process significantly more straightforward. Laerdal’s LLEAP simulators and programs will seamlessly integrate and operate with SimCapture and Laerdal will begin distributing SimCapture’s LMS globally in conjunction with their product line.

Cancer research has been bolstered with news that scientists have created the largest simulation to date of an entire gene of DNA. In our quest to fully understand the human body down to the smallest level, researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have churned through huge amounts of information to create a model of 1 billion atoms. This is no simple collection of atoms, but the largest simulation ever of an entire gene of DNA.

Parkinson's News Today
Wearable motion sensors can allow doctors to objectively assess medication states in Parkinson’s disease patients being treated with levodopa, a new study shows. Unfortunately, long-term treatment with levodopa causes troubling motor impairments that are attributed to frequent fluctuations in the “on” and “off” periods. This refers to a phenomenon in which patients on levodopa switch between mobility and immobility, the latter developing when the dose has worn “off” but it is not yet time for the next dose.

Med-Tech Innovation
Patient-specific modelling provides a number of opportunities and challenges for medical device design. Using the image data from MRI and CT scans to build the models enables anatomical accuracy, capturing each patients’ unique features. This image data can then be used during the design stage for medical devices to integrate CAD models of components with anatomies and simulate performance. When used to complement experimental testing, simulation using techniques like finite element analysis increases choice when optimizing and validating design decisions.

Wouldn't it be extraordinary to simulate plans or build what-if scenarios for the products, facilities, and processes you wished to change before you actually put real-world resources behind real-world implementation? That's the promise of digital twins. And, many businesses and industries are taking advantage of this promise as these seven examples of digital twin technology illustrate. As an exact digital replica of something in the physical world, digital twins are made possible thanks to internet of things sensors that gather data from the physical world and send it to machines to reconstruct.

When you’re talking to a multidisciplinary audience, sometimes you have to turn to universal experiences. So how does an electrical engineer explain to a conference full of healthcare professionals the effect that time-variant, non-stationary systems can have on a system response? “If I have a beer on an empty stomach, the result is going to be vastly different to when I have a beer on a full stomach,” explained Dr. Willem van Meurs, a medical training simulator designer currently visiting The Australian National University.

Whether or not video games are a form of art has been a heated argument for the past several decades. Loyalists of gaming have been claimed that video games are the greatest art bestowed upon humankind. Adversaries would contend that gaming is nothing but a meaningless waste of time. However, there is one area which both sides seem to overlook — that is, the teaching capacity of gaming. How can gaming apply in education? How can it prepare the labor force for job training?

As a urogynecology surgeon, Dr. Alexandra Haessler, has seen firsthand the limitations of current overactive bladder (OAB) therapies. She ended up filing a patent application for the underlying technology and founded FemPulse, a company she is now chief medical officer of. The FemPulse technology is designed to deliver electrical pulses to the nerves that innervate the bladder to regulate function and help women manage numerous medical conditions, starting with OAB.

Next Generation Harvey realistically simulates nearly any cardiac disease at the touch of a button by varying blood pressure, pulses, heart sounds, murmurs and breath sounds. Harvey is the longest continuous university-based simulation project in medical education, and no other simulator presents cardiac bedside findings at the level of detail and fidelity found in Harvey.

Virtual and augmented reality technologies may still be too experimental for some surgeons to bring into the operating room, but that appears to be changing. AR is playing a bigger role in surgical education, with expert surgeons using it to walk colleagues in remote locations through tricky procedures. Startup AR telehealth firm Proximie has offices in London, Beirut and Boston.
