Title:
Health education system
Abstract:
A computer controlled interactive instruction system for teaching an individual comprising a peripheral having at least one sensor for producing a signal representing a function which has been or is to be manually performed by the individual, a first device for storing a sequence of signals representing instructions relating to the correct manner of performing the function, a first display coupled to the storing device for displaying the instructions, a second device for storing video and associated audio signals representing both pictorial and oral representations of the correct manner of performing the function, a second display for displaying the pictorial representation, and a computer coupled to the peripheral, the first and second storage devices and the first and second displays for causing an ordered sequence of the instruction signals in the first signal storage device to be displayed by the first display whereby the individual may learn to recognize and to perform the function, for receiving the signals from the peripheral and detecting correct or incorrect performance of the function by the individual and for causing appropriate ones of the stored video signals to be displayed by the second display and the associated audio signals to be produced to illustrate the correct performance of the function if incorrectly performed by the individual whereby telling, showing and coaching of the individual in the recognition and performance of the function may be accomplished.
