A Review on Applications of Haptic Systems, Virtual Reality, and Artificial Intelligence in Medical Training in COVID-19 Pandemic

This paper presents a survey on haptic technology, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence applications in medical training during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the last few decades, there has been a great deal of interest in using new technologies to establish capable approaches for medical training purposes. These methods are intended to minimize surgerychr('39')s adverse effects, mostly when done by an inexperienced surgeon. Due to the worldchr('39')s unique situation during the pandemic, which causes several cities to be locked up, these methodologies are becoming more critical. They eliminate the physical contact requirement between medical personnel and fellows, which decreases the risk of being infected with the virus. This study aims to present new applications for haptic technology, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and new fields where they can provide a viable solution in the COVID-19 pandemic or any other similar crises.
