“…The use of portable eye-tracking technology has been introduced in medicine more recently [ 13 , 15 , 16 , 21 - 24 ], and many unanswered questions remain, particularly in the field of medical teaching and evaluation. In this context, research using eye tracking is widespread, but research on the use of eye tracking for assessing student performance is scarce.…”

Background The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) is a test used throughout Spain to evaluate the clinical competencies, decision making, problem solving, and other skills of sixth-year medical students. Objective The main goal of this study is to explore the possible applications and utility of portable eye-tracking systems in the setting of the OSCE, particularly questions associated with attention and engagement. Methods We used a portable Tobii Glasses 2 eye tracker, which allows real-time monitoring of where the students were looking and records the voice and ambient sounds. We then performed a qualitative and a quantitative analysis of the fields of vision and gaze points attracting attention as well as the visual itinerary. Results Eye-tracking technology was used in the OSCE with no major issues. This portable system was of the greatest value in the patient simulators and mannequin stations, where interaction with the simulated patient or areas of interest in the mannequin can be quantified. This technology proved useful to better identify the areas of interest in the medical images provided. Conclusions Portable eye trackers offer the opportunity to improve the objective evaluation of candidates and the self-evaluation of the stations used as well as medical simulations by examiners. We suggest that this technology has enough resolution to identify where a student is looking at and could be useful for developing new approaches for evaluating specific aspects of clinical competencies.

“…It is also used in the description of functioning of people with autism, ADHD or diagnosis and description of mild impairments [10,11,12,13,14], and even the risk assessment of suicide tendencies [15]. There are also papers in which eye tracking was used for other purposes, such as a therapy or improvement of medical education [16,17,18], it is also increasingly used to test the usefulness of medical devices [19]. It seems that it can be used more widely in environmental medicine, mainly for the optimisation of operating conditions of individuals, which clearly suggests implications for urban planning and environmental design [20,21].…”

Introduction and objective. Using the concepts of Ulrich's theory of supportive design and Malkin's healing environment, an eye tracking experiment was designed in order to measure respondents' reactions while looking at visualisations of various interiors, with the aim of verifying whether certain parameters of an interior are related to emotional reactions in terms of positive stimulation, and the sense of security and comfort. Materials and method. 12 boards were designed, incorporating standard features of an interior, i.e. (1) proportions, (2) lighting, (3) colour scheme of a room, as well as (4) the colours and spatial arrangement of furnishings. Respondents' reactions were recorded with an eye tracker Tobii TX300 and supplemented by self-descriptions of emotional reactions. Results. The results showed that the varying spatial and colour arrangements presented in the interior visualisations provoked different emotional responses, confirmed by pupil reaction parameters, as measured by the eye tracking device. Conclusions. Architectural space can have a diverse emotional significance and impact on an individual's emotional state. This is an important conclusion from the point of view of optimising and creating the so-called supportive and healing environment. The results have implications for the interpretation of the pupil diameter as an index of emotional reactions to different architectural space visualisations. Testing the eye tracker as a method helpful in diagnosing the emotional reactions to features of the interior is justified, and can provide an effective tool for early diagnosis of the impact of architectural space on the well-being of individuals. It can also be a good form of testing the emotional significance of architectural designs before they are implemented.

“…Eye-tracking technology (Tobii, 2010) is increasingly being used in educational settings [ 2 ]. Our research group has used this technology as a tool for teaching surgery [ 3 ] and has performed a pilot study to assess its utility for preparing students for the summative OSCE, an exam consisting of 20 simulated clinical situations, each lasting 9 minutes. During the June 2016 OSCE, we recorded the performance of sixth-year medical students of Miguel Hernández University of Elche, Spain, using both eye-tracking technology and a conventional video camera ( Supplement 1 ).…”
