Professors Developing Technologies That Could Revolutionize the Medical Field
Two College of Education professors are creating learning analytics tools to enhance medical students’ education and clinical critical thinking skills.
Drs. Bill Cope and Mary Kalantzis, professors in the Department of Education Policy, Organization and Leadership, are involved in two interdisciplinary projects funded through the Jump ARCHES research and development program. Jump ARCHES—Jump Applied Research through Community Health through Engineering and Simulation—is a partnership between the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the University of Illinois College of Medicine Peoria, and OSF HealthCare in Peoria. The program was established in 2014 and supports research involving clinicians, engineers, and social scientists to develop technologies and devices that could revolutionize medical training and healthcare delivery.

This update reminds me of Artificial Intelligence (AI), where computers do most of the work. The idea of collaboration information about the medicine is critical right now because of the COVID-19, and the whole world needs to be prepared to stop the spread of the virus or any other new strings of the virus. I can see this in the future where a doctor or medical researcher can find a cure for a disease with a push of a button. Combining humans knowledge with computers to solve complex medical data is a great invention to help all humans. Excellent project!
Wonderful.
