| Abstract | In previous "Diabetes Information Technology & WebWatch" columns, various user experience with an interactive educational "virtual diabetes patient" simulator called AIDA have been documented. The simulator is available free of charge from http://www.2aida.org on the Web, and user comments that have been received to date about the program have highlighted some of the many and varied ways in which a range of people have been applying the diabetes simulations in their own particular situations and practices. Inevitably, up to now, a great deal of attention has focused on use by individuals with diabetes and their relatives, as well as by health-care professionals such as diabetologists/endocrinologists and diabetes educators. However, an important group of health-carers involved in the provision of day-to-day care for many people with diabetes are primary care physicians (general practitioners). The current "Diabetes Information Technology & WebWatch" column addresses this area, overviewing a workshop which was held in September 2000 in Italy to gain experience with application of the AIDA diabetes simulation approach as a teaching tool for general practitioners (GPs). Feedback obtained from participants attending the workshop was very positive, with GPs reporting the simulation approach to be both of interest and use. Further workshops involving other healthcare professionals--in particular, nurses--are planned. |
