Misr University of Science and Technology (MUST) is proud to announce a groundbreaking advancement in medical education in the Middle East. For the first time, the university's Medicine College will use advanced smart glasses technology to live stream surgeries to its students through its partnership with Zoom and Interactivo.
This cutting-edge technology allows surgeons to live stream their operations to students via Zoom, offering an immersive, real-time learning environment.
The smart glasses enable surgeons to stream surgeries directly to an interactive screen, allowing students to follow the procedure step-by-step. While watching the surgery live, students can ask questions and receive immediate responses from the surgeon, ensuring a highly interactive and immersive learning environment. The use of Zoom as the platform for live streaming facilitates seamless communication between the operating room and the classroom, providing a flexible and accessible way for students to learn.
A Competitive Edge for MUST’s Medicine College
This revolutionary initiative delivers numerous benefits and strengthens Misr University’s competitive position in medical education:
-
Real-Time Interaction: Zoom’s interactive features allow students to engage directly with surgeons, asking questions and receiving immediate feedback during procedures, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
-
Accessibility: Students can remotely observe complex surgeries, regardless of location, ensuring access to procedures that might otherwise be restricted by space.
-
Technological Leadership: This innovative combination of smart glasses and Zoom positions MUST as a regional leader in medical education, offering cutting-edge tools and experiences unmatched by other institutions.
This initiative highlights MUST’s forward-thinking approach, giving students a unique educational experience and access to advanced learning resources.
Dr. Nehad ElMahboub, Dean of the Medicine College at MUST, noted, “The integration of smart glasses and Zoom into our curriculum ensures that every student benefits from a front-row seat to live surgeries. This technology enables seamless interaction between students and surgeons, enhancing learning beyond the traditional classroom or operating room.”
