Use of wearable technology to improve the ergonomics in the paediatric surgical operating theatre, Phase 2

Description 
There has been a wealth of novel technology including those devices that have been developed by. Monash University The aim of this project will be to harness this novel technology and apply it to the surgical operating room to improve the health and also ergonomics of all the operating room staff. This will build on a very successful pilot project that was completed in 2022. There is great interest in this form of research at present and Monash Children's Simulation is leading the way with novel wearable technology and also other technology both in the simulation-based educational and clinical domains
