Development of In-Browser Simulators for Medical Education: Introduction of a Novel Software Toolchain.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Simulators used in teaching are interactive applications comprising a mathematical model of the system under study and a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows the user to control the model inputs and visualize the model results in an intuitive and educational way. Well-designed simulators promote active learning, enhance problem-solving skills, and encourage collaboration and small group discussion. However, creating simulators for teaching purposes is a challenging process that requires many contributors including educators, modelers, graphic designers, and programmers. The availability of a toolchain of user-friendly software tools for building simulators can facilitate this complex task. OBJECTIVE:This paper aimed to describe an open-source software toolchain termed Body
