“It’s like a crawly feeling inside,” says Judy*. “You get hot, then chilled, and you feel like you want to run away.” The 57-year-old has short dark-grey hair and a haunted expression. She’s breathless and sits with her right leg balanced up on her walking stick, rocking it back and forth as she speaks

Jim the avatar a tough nut to crack for Curtin's psychology, speech pathology students - Community News Group

Jim the avatar a tough nut to crack for Curtin's psychology, speech pathology students - Community News Group | Simulation in Health Sciences Education | Scoop.it


PSYCHOLOGY and speech pathology students at Curtin University are developing their patient empathy skills through ‘real life’ learning with the help of the avatar Jim, an elderly Australian farmer with mild dementia.

Jim ‘came to life’ in 2014 to be used by undergraduate and masters speech pathology students in the areas of gerontology and dementia.

The avatar helps to train dementia care workers, families of people with dementia, and workers in aged care facilities in metropolitan and rural areas. 


A recent collaborative study led by Janet Beilby from the School of Psychology and Speech Pathology investigated undergraduate speech pathology students’ self-rated communication skills, knowledge, confidence and empathy across simulated and traditional learning environments.

Smart physical training in virtual reality

Smart physical training in virtual reality | Simulation in Health Sciences Education | Scoop.it
A new system in a virtual training room is helping users practice and improve sports exercises and other motor activities: six research groups from the Cluster of Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC) at Bielefeld University are working on the ICSPACE project to develop this virtual coaching space. CITEC is funding this large-scale research project with 1.6 million Euro and it will run until 2017. During a project presentation the researchers showcased what their system is capable of. Using the example of a squat exercise, they presented the new technology, which will help not only athletes, but also physical rehabilitation patients learn movement exercises and correct their mistakes. In a new "research_TV" report from Bielefeld University, the coordinators of the project also explain how their new system works.
