Abstract
An increasing need for medical services, declining numbers of trained doctors and ongoing digitization give an opportunity to find innovative methods that can improve medical teaching. This paper presents a virtual reality application that can be used to learn how to perform and analyze an electrocardiogram (ECG). The application is intended to show students of medical-related courses how the electrodes are attached correctly and offers the possibility of interpreting ECG images and naming a diagnosis. A prototype of the ECG trainer was successfully implemented and will be tested in a future study. The study design is also presented in this paper.
