An electronic MENTOR for medical procedure partial-task simulators

The Center for Human Simulation is developing an electronic MENTOR to guide user's of a simulator developed by Touch of Life Technologies, Inc. through the performance of tasks involved in diagnostic knee arthroscopy. Each task on the simulator is preceded by mentored instruction and a quiz. Each task is followed by a report to the user on their cognitive, haptic and visual performance. Examples of metrics include time on task, force on tools, force on the joint, damage to articular cartilage, completeness of visualization of all regions of a compartment of the knee and the correct observation of simulated pathology.
