The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of new technologies and innovative teaching methods that integrate into current nursing education systems to improve training and better equip nurses for clinical work. This approach could ultimately reduce medical errors among early-career nurses. The potential societal impact lies in potential savings by Medicare and other insurance providers who typically bear the financial burden of medical malpractice costs. It is expected that this new technology will provide low-cost access to high fidelity simulation and education to nursing education institutions across the US.This I-Corps project is based on the development of medical simulation to enhance nursing education using augmented reality (AR). The proposed approach will use AI-driven AR scenarios, combined with novel haptic feedback devices, to provide a high-fidelity simulation experience. Artificial Intelligence Driven AR includes the use of conversational holographic patients and process-aware scenarios through which to guide trainees. The haptic feedback devices include new wearable force-feedback modules and thermal feedback modules that allow trainees to feel and interact with virtual objects and, more importantly, holographic patients.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该I-Corps项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是开发新技术和创新的教学方法，这些方法将整合到当前的护理教育系统中，以改善培训并更好地为护士装备临床工作。这种方法最终可以减少早期护理护士的医疗错误。潜在的社会影响在于医疗保险和其他保险提供商的潜在节省，这些提供者通常承担医疗事故成本的经济负担。可以预期，这项新技术将为整个美国的护理教育机构提供低成本的访问权限。这项I-Corps项目基于医学模拟的开发，以使用增强现实（AR）来增强护理教育。提出的方法将使用AI驱动的AR场景，并结合新颖的触觉反馈设备，以提供高保真的模拟体验。人工智能驱动的AR包括使用对话全息患者和过程感知的场景，通过这些方案来指导受训者。触觉反馈设备包括新的可穿戴力反馈模块和热反馈模块，使受训者可以感觉到并与虚拟物体相互作用，更重要的是，更重要的是全息患者。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过该基金会的知识分子功能和广泛影响的评估来评估Criteria的智力。
