ILVI (Interdisciplinary Longitudinal Virtual Patient Management) is a smartphone application that organizes students` learning experience from textbook knowledge to case-based learning. Our first module is tailored to teach medical students interdisciplinary diagnostic management in a resource-oriented setting.
University and college students.
In today’s era of accelerated scientific advancement, it is vital to equip learners with the skills to apply their textbook knowledge to real-life scenarios. ILVI aims to leverage case-based learning and encyclopedic learning resources into a cutting-edge learning platform that facilitates virtually augmented flipped classroom lectures and formative testing.
ILVI is a low-level smartphone application that aids students in their learning process by navigating them through gradually increasing levels of expertise. First, it introduces users to a multi-media database, where they can familiarize themselves with the background knowledge. ILVI then takes the students to a case-based learning scenario where they can interact with multidimensional avatars, typically patients, to assess their needs and medical complaints. At this point, ILVI employs a financial and a time budget as a gamification strategy in line with focused diagnostics. The student-patient interaction process is monitored and relayed to an interactive assessment tool that guides teachers in a stimulating case discussion that identifies the strengths and challenges of the student cohort using ILVI.
