LINKÖPING, Sweden ,
March 19, 2020
/PRNewswire/ -- The Sapienza University of
Rome is now using the digital
teaching platform from the international medical imaging and
cybersecurity company Sectra (STO: SECT B) to
continue its doctor training remotely. This means that students can
continue to receive a high-quality and interactive education
despite the limitations brought about by the closing of educational
institutions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"It is a relief for us to be able to use the Education Portal
given the situation that we now find ourselves in with the spread
of COVID-19. The cloud service provides us with the ability to
access the clinical cases we use in our teaching, and students are
able to continue their studies remotely now that all schools and
universities are closed," says Dr. Rosemarie Heyn, Sapienza University of
Rome.
The teaching platform, Sectra Education Portal, is a cloud-based
service with which educational institutions can both store
their own lectures based on clinical cases as well as access cases
from other connected institutions. Cases are thereby readily
available for both the teachers and the students and accessible
from several different devices. From the classroom, this can mean
via large interactive touch screens, or it can mean via laptops,
tablets or other touch devices, used from anywhere. At the Sapienza
University, the cloud portal will be used to allow medical students
to continue to follow the syllabus in anatomy and prepare for the
planned examinations at the end of the semester. The portal
provides them with access to course material including such
resources as CT and histopathological images from clinical patient
cases.
"We are aware that this virus has created tremendous challenges
in terms of our customers' ability to continue their operations. It
is, however, extremely satisfying to see that our
solutions can ease the situation to a certain extent and ensure
that a part of this important educational program can continue,"
says Johan Carlegrim, General Manager, Medical Education business
unit at Sectra.
