Augmented Reality (AR) Hong Kong

April 21, 2026 updated by: Thomas Caruso, Stanford University

International Training of Non-Technical Medical Crisis Skills Using Remote, Augmented Reality Simulation

This is an international, collaborative study evaluating the non-technical skills (NTS) of anesthesiology residents. The goal is to explore the capability of performing a remote, international AR simulation for the purpose of assessing PALS during a medical crisis. Simulation experts in the United States will facilitate the AR simulations with anesthesiology residents in Hong Kong. The medical simulation itself is grounded in traditional best practices in accordance with the American Heart Association.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Mixed Reality Simulation
Participants in the experimental arm will be introduced to workplace training modules through an Augmented Reality (AR) headset.
Other: Augmented Reality (AR)
AR headset - a device that the participants will wear over their head and eyes and will add holographic elements to a live view of workplace training scenario

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Individual performance of non-technical skills assessed by Anaesthetist Non-Technical Skills (ANTS)
Time Frame: immediately after simulation
The Anaesthetist Non-Technical Skills (ANTS) scoring system uses four categories assessing task management, teamworking, situation awareness and decision-making (1 to 4 points by categories). The minimum score is 4 and the maximum 16
immediately after simulation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Individual performance of non-technical skills assessed by Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scale (BARS)
Time Frame: immediately after simulation
The BARS scoring system uses four categories assessing situation awareness, decision-making, communication and teamwork. The score ranges from 1 and 9 (1 = poor and 9 = excellent)
immediately after simulation
System Usability Scale (SUS) Score
Time Frame: immediately after simulation
The scale has 10 items. Scores ranges from 1-5 (1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree)
immediately after simulation
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Ergonomic scale
Time Frame: immediately after simulation
The scale has 6 items. Scores ranges from 1-5 (1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree)
immediately after simulation
