MedBiquitous Community Connection - August 25

12:00-12:30pm ET - Creating a Low Cost Analytics Solution for Medical Education Data 

The technology team at the School of Medicine at University of Virginia is updating the legacy systems by using low cost or open source technology to create a low cost alternative with similar functionality. During this process they are also taking the opportunity to create data integrity and data validation across various systems. The technology team is also building a custom BI solution using Python, Flask, Plotly, Tabulator and Visual code. The presenter will share the overall strategy of updating the legacy systems, data approach and the simple pattern that is used to create a web page that includes a data visualization and a data table.

12:30-1:00pm ET - Development Process for UCF's HoloLens Augmented Reality Application on Cardiac Disorders 

This presentation will discuss how UCF's AR application for cardiac disorders was developed - from idea to completion. This AR application was developed for the Microsoft HoloLens. The goal of the application is to integrate heart anatomy and physiology instructions. Learners are able to manipulate cardiac rhythm while visualizing contractions, electrical activity and blood flow. Built-in flashcards and clinical cases are presented within the application to direct learning and provide a mechanism for self-assessment.
