Could 360-degree VR videos transform how doctors learn endoscopy?
NCT ID NCT07705815
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether interactive 360-degree virtual reality videos can help medical students learn about gastrointestinal endoscopy. Around 68 second-year medical students will use VR videos that simulate being in an endoscopy room, including real procedures and common communication errors. The goal is to see if this immersive approach improves their confidence and skills compared to traditional teaching methods.
