Form of workSummary
The Department of Learning Health Sciences (DLHS) is a first-in-the-nation basic science department focused on the sciences related to learning across multiple levels of scale (i.e. individual, group, organization, region, nation). DLHS works to improve health in systemic ways by advancing the sciences that make learning effective, routine, and efficient. Our bold research programs generate new knowledge that enhance learning at all levels; our innovative educational programs train new researchers and practitioners in the sciences of learning; our collaborative service programs enhance health professions curricula and guide health systems as they evolve to become learning health systems. More information about DLHS is available at: https://medicine.umich.edu/dlhs
Mission Statement
Michigan Medicine improves the health of patients, populations and communities through excellence in education, patient care, community service, research and technology development, and through leadership activities in Michigan, nationally and internationally. Our mission is guided by our Strategic Principles and has three critical components; patient care, education and research that together enhance our contribution to society.
Responsibilities*
We are seeking a highly motivated, talented student programmer for a temporary opening for intensive work to develop an augmented reality simulation of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. This CVC-funded position involves developing a simulation that will allow us to better understand the lay rescuer response to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest under different conditions. The study will utilize a software application integrated into the Microsoft HoloLens 2 or similar headset, which will be developed using Unity3D. The software will have three primary functionalities. First, it will enable a virtual avatar to be positioned precisely using four quick response (QR) codes. Second, the avatar will be animated during an initial phase. Last, the researchers will be able to customize the race and gender of the virtual avatars (3D holographic patients).
The successful candidate will be an integral part of a team consisting of researchers with expertise in medical education, health sciences and computer science and will work on a highly collaborative research project with multiple opportunities to interact with experts and thought leaders in their respective fields.
Required Qualifications*
Applicants must be an undergraduate or graduate student with program development experience using Unity3D. In addition, the qualified applicant will have the following:
Desired Qualifications*
Expertise in medical education, health sciences and computer science
