Projects
- Description
- Vietnam is facing overcrowding in central hospitals due to the disproportional distribution of health workforces in terms of both quantity and quality. In many rural and remote areas, the healthcare staff lack to access real-time, effective assistance, and realistic training provided by experts located centrally. It may lead to less effectiveness of health care services and additional costs for rural/ remote residents. UTAS Augmented Reality Remote Assistance system (UTAS-ARRA) is a solution developed by the Centre for Rural Health and the Human Interface Technology Laboratory, University of Tasmania. In this project, we will employ the UTAS-ARRA to improve the effectiveness of the remote situational tele-mentorship between central experts and rural/ remote less-experienced healthcare staff in Vietnam. The system aims to improve the response of rural/remote staff to manage patients under the assistance and guidance provided by central experts in real-time.
