VACSE undergraduate researchers showcased our research on developing an intelligent virtual coach!
Sally Calloway, Kaitlyn Tokarz, Navya Vemulapalli, and Brendon O'Brien (left to right) participated at the Open House of the Carilion Clinic Center for Simulation, Research and Patient Safety. They showcased our research on developing an intelligent virtual coach for self-training manual skills of laparoscopy. The research is supported by the integrated Translational Health Research Institute of Virginia (iTHRIV).
