Podiatric Medicine Hippo Tech Device Gives Podiatry Students a Live Clinical Experience in the Classroom.

香港六合彩官网开奖鈥檚 School of Podiatric Medicine has added an exciting innovative technological tool to its instruction toolbox to implement remote patient care learning.

The school is now using the Hippo virtual care device in our 鈥淚ntro to Patient Care course in the Freshman Year鈥. Hippo is voice-activated, hands-free, and resembles goggles. It brings streaming doctor-patient visits from clinics to the classroom for a real-time clinical experience.聽

It allows healthcare providers and educators to bridge the gap between physical and virtual care. Due to the limitations of meeting in-person during the COVID-19 pandemic, remote healthcare and learning became an essential part of growing and connecting as students and medical professionals.聽

鈥淭he practice of medicine is ever-changing. Here at 香港六合彩官网开奖 School of Podiatric Medicine, we are up to date with the latest technology to address this new world's challenges.鈥 Professor Dr. Rodriguez-Anaya explains. Due to limitations of meeting face-to-face, 香港六合彩官网开奖 recruited doctors to create educational videos. With the device, students can see patients in real-time as if they were in the clinic. The doctor can be heard through the device and the student can ask questions. Hippo offers students a physician鈥檚 point-of-view.

鈥淗ippo technology allows us to continue our clinical education experience and expand into areas that we were not allowed before,鈥 she says.

There are many additional perks to using Hippo that may not be immediately apparent, including community-building. Azariya McClendon, class of 2024, believes 鈥淗ippo will also help students early in their medical school career build long-lasting professional relationships with surrounding physicians."

Shane Massey, also class of 2024, observes that the tool deepens opportunities for understanding curriculum. 鈥淎pplying our learning to real life situations makes our educational experience less about simply passing classes and more about learning the skills and techniques necessary to becoming great physicians.鈥 Alexis Mugno, who is a second year resident in the field at Jackson North, says these real world experiences will enrich 鈥測oung student-doctor鈥檚 education and bedside manner.鈥

Patients need not worry, either. Hippo is HIPPA compliant and safe for users and patients. It鈥檚 linked to a secure stream that is password-protected and securely tied to one user.

Sheena Cherukara, who will graduate in 2024, says of the device, 鈥淚 have a great feeling that this will heighten the field of podiatric medicine in the long run for many of us students, professors, and health care professionals.鈥
