Clinical Trial Summary

The goal is to evaluate the acceptance of Augmented Reality (AR) simulation as a learning modality for prehospital providers. The simulation itself is grounded in traditional best practices for simulation delivery and design as well as prior literature on simulation training for prehospital providers; the focus of this study is the participants' experiential interaction with AR and the simulation resources.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• Augmented Reality Headset
The simulation scenario will be a pediatric hypoglycemia-induced seizure case, which will be done through an AR simulation. AR (Augmented Reality) headset, which is a device that the participants will wear over their head and eyes and will add holographic elements to a live view of workplace training scenario.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Thematic Analysis of Post-Simulation Discussions	The primary aim is to study the acceptance of AR simulation amongst prehospital providers via thematic analysis of semi-structured discussions using qualitative research methods.	Duration of post-simulation debrief (15-20 minutes)
Secondary	System Usability Scale (SUS)	The first secondary aim is to evaluate AR simulation usability amongst prehospital providers via the System Usability Scale (SUS).	Duration of Intervention (less than one hour)
Secondary	Headset Ergonomics	The final secondary aim will evaluate the ergonomics of the headset via the ISO 9241-400 assessment of human-ergonomic factors.	Duration of Intervention (less than one hour)
