Designing tangible exercises as a means of translating digital concepts for medical students

The poster presents the design-driven exercises of a joint-teaching project between the Image Guidance project at the Cluster of Excellence Image Knowledge Gestaltung at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the Image Guidance Lab at the Department of Neurosurgery at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Medical Futures Lab at Rice University Houston. The design-driven exercises aim at teaching students hands-on different approaches to medical images and at fostering their cognitive abilities as well as their possibilities for competently interacting with medical image based softwares by better understanding the mental model of the related software tools.

This poster was shown at the Medicine X Ed Konferenz, 28.–29. April 2018, Stanford, CA, USA.
