A low-cost computer-assisted teaching package for kidney dialysis: a preliminary report.
This paper describes a low-cost system, comprising software and a video interface unit, for interactive computer-aided learning for renal dialysis. The system is designed for use with IBM PC compatibles. The main aim of the package is to provide a teaching aid, to be used in conjunction with conventional techniques, for teaching the concepts relevant to renal dialysis. The system has been designed to be of benefit to groups such as patients, nurses and renal technicians and is suitable for users who have differing levels of expertise ranging from novice through to expert. The software is also designed to facilitate updating as new techniques and technologies become available.
