Eye See, Eye Learn: Revolutionizing Education Through Gaze Technology
Objectives: To (i) determine dental students and eisual attention patterns and oral description accuracy while viewing clinical images and radiographs, and (ii) explore potential use of real time feedback and videos for teaching–learning approaches.
Methods: Tobii Pro eye tracking device captured the eye-tracking data for 30 dental students and 30 experts in this cross-sectional study. The predetermined areas of interest (AOI) for all five clinical photographs and five radiographs were uploaded onto Tobii software. They were given live time feedback and reported on another five clinical photographs and five radiographs. All participants used a think-aloud protocol with no restrictions to view time.
Results: The mean observation duration was 212.13 seconds (SD = ±83.72). Initial diagnostic assessments demonstrated a significant tendency toward non-specific lesion identification without comprehensive characterization of pathological features. Notable deficiencies were observed in soft tissue evaluation, with participants exhibiting a preferential focus on hard tissue structures.
Post-intervention analysis revealed statistically significant improvements in both the quality and comprehensiveness of clinical findings following eye tracking feedback and video review. Participants number of visits and share of total time in areas of interest improved significantly. This enhancement manifested in more precise diagnostic accuracy and detailed lesion characterization.
Conclusions: The implementation of eye tracking technology with real-time feedback demonstrates promising potential for standardizing clinical observation protocols.These findings suggest that eye tracking technology, when implemented as a diagnostic aid, may serve as a valuable tool in establishing standardized protocols for clinical observation and diagnosis in both educational and professional settings.
