One of the areas I’m particularly interested in as a dental faculty member is how we can integrate digital technology into education in ways that genuinely support learning.
SSEndoSim is one step in that direction.
I developed this free mobile endodontic diagnostic simulator with the idea of making diagnostic learning more interactive, accessible and feedback-oriented. Rather than relying only on traditional teaching methods, students can engage with pulpal and periapical diagnosis through a digital learning experience.
I believe this is particularly relevant as we explore new ways of engaging today's students, including Gen Z learners, who are familiar with digital environments. The goal isn't to replace traditional teaching, but to use technology where it can add educational value.
I'm happy to share that our work, Development & Initial Usability Evaluation of SSEndoSim: A Free Mobile Endodontic Diagnostic Simulator, has been published in JMIR Human Factors (Impact Factor 3.9)
Our initial evaluation reported a mean System Usability Scale score of 75.3 and educational acceptability of 4.62/5.
This project is also personally meaningful to me. I'm grateful to my mentor, Prof. Feroze Kalhoro, for his guidance throughout this journey, and to Priya Rani, my wife and co-author, for being part of this work.
For me, this is more than a publication. It's an opportunity to turn an educational idea into a practical digital tool, and a step forward in my ongoing interest in bringing technology into teaching and learning.
