Abstract

This paper discusses the use of personal simulation within medical learning. Our objective is to show that personal simulators can be used to realise all datasets needed to fully represent medical situations. We developed a high fidelity personal simulator test framework titled JDoc. The paper outlines the construction process and the functionality of the personal simulator. We present a small scale post-test usability study with junior doctors from which we can assess the benefits of personal simulation within a small subcategory of medical users.
