Feasibility and Accessibility of Human-centered AI-based Simulation System for Improving the Occupational Safety of Clinical Workplace

Medical personnel need to learn occupational safety knowledge in clinical workplaces, not only to ensure their own safety, but also to further ensure patients safety. Based on Human-centered artificial intelligence (HAI) technology, this study will provide HAI-based occupational safety training system for two training topics, Needle Stick/Sharps Injury (NSSI) prevention and appropriate Clinical Waste Management (CWM). From April 2018 to December 2021, this clinical occupational safety HAI training is used by 342 medical personnel (doctors and non-doctors). This study aims to investigate the learning performance and effectiveness including decreasing anxiety and increasing mastering level of users. This study shows that, for the first-time and feel-friendly users of this HAI training system, not only can they achieve significant learning improvement, but they can also effectively decrease their anxiety and increase their mastery level of clinical work safety knowledge and skill. In terms of learning performance and effectiveness, this study found that doctors are significantly benefited by the HAI training system in contrast to non-doctors.
