Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (A.I.) cardiac ultrasound technology in teaching point of care cardiac ultrasound (POCUS Cardiac).

Conditions

Cardiac

Keywords

Cardiac Ultrasound

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Effectiveness of artificial intelligence (A.I.) cardiac ultrasound technology in teaching point of care cardiac ultrasound vs conventional echo machine

  Evaluate the effectiveness between AI and conventional echo machine by pre and post-session MCQs, and post intervention evaluation of practical skills using echo machine

  Study till 1 month post-study

Study Arms (2)

AI Machine

EXPERIMENTAL

All study participants will undergo a full day (roughly 8 hours) training programme consisting of a pre-test MCQ, a didactic lecture, hands-on training session, a post-test MCQ, and a practical evaluation. They will be randomised to using an A.I. ultrasound machine for teaching.

Other: Experimental AI Echo Machine

Conventional Machine
