Abstract

Anticipating the arrival on the market of assistive technology (AT) integrating new technologies is a current issue in the training of medical and paramedical professionals. Currently, the training offer on AT does not fully meet the growing needs of health professionals. It is in this context that the European research project ADAPT, which is developing an intelligent electric powered wheelchair (EPW) and a driving simulator of EPW driving in virtual reality, is setting up a training programme for health professionals on new assistive technologies. This consists of 6 units, combining online and face-to-face training methods, and incorporates the needs of professionals gathered via a literature review and an online survey. These units have an increasing level of technicality, in order to gradually introduce professionals to the use of innovative TA. A Learning Management System enables online training to be disseminated. The results of the training evaluation are being acquired. For the moment, they have only a limited representativeness but are nevertheless encouraging

(Anticiper l’arrivée sur le marché d’aides techniques (AT) intégrant les nouvelles technologies est un enjeu actuel de la formation des professionnels médicaux et paramédicaux [1]. Actuellement, l’offre de formation sur les AT ne répond pas entièrement aux besoins croissants des professionnels de santé. C’est donc dans ce contexte que le projet de recherche européen ADAPT, qui développe un fauteuil roulant électrique intelligent (FREI) et un simulateur de conduite de FRE en réalité virtuelle, monte un programme de formation à destination des professionnels de santé sur les nouvelles technologies d’assistance. Celui-ci se compose de 6 unités, associant modalités de formation en ligne et en présentiel, et respectant les besoins des professionnels recueillis via une revue de littérature et une enquête de terrain. Ces unités présentent un niveau de technicité croissant, afin d’initier progressivement les professionnels à l’utilisation d’AT innovantes. Un Learning Management System permet de diffuser la formation en ligne. Les résultats de l’évaluation de la formation sont en cours d’acquisition. Pour le moment, ils n’ont qu’une représentativité limitée mais sont toutefois encourageants)
