Virtual Reality with Moodle for Training in Telemedicine

Background: Telemedicine is increasingly integrated into healthcare, requiring robust training for healthcare professionals. Traditional training methods often lack realism and immersion, highlighting the need for innovative approaches. Objectives: This study aims to integrate Virtual Reality with Moodle to enhance telemedicine education, focusing on chronic cardiac conditions. Methods: A VR-based training system was developed using Unity and WebXR, integrated with Moodle. The system includes a serious game with virtual patients created using Synthesia AI. Telemedicine experts configure training sessions via Moodle, while learners access preparatory materials and engage with the VR environment. Results: A usability test involving 12 participants showed high satisfaction scores (94.42% for learners, 98.29% for experts). Conclusion: This study demonstrates the potential of integrating VR with Moodle to innovate telemedicine education. The approach offers personalized and accessible training experiences for healthcare professionals to improve telemedicine skills.
