An innovative development from the University of Szeged has gained international recognition: mozaMedical, a software platform created through collaboration between the University’s Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Studies and Mozaik Kiadó Kft., has been shortlisted as a finalist at the Bett EdTech exhibition in London – one of the world’s leading events in educational technology.

mozaMedical, developed through collaboration between the University’s Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Studies and Mozaik Kiadó Kft., has secured a place among the finalists at the Bett EdTech exhibition in London. Participation in one of the world’s leading educational technology events represents a significant professional achievement in itself – and reaching the finals offers a valuable opportunity for a university-driven innovation to gain meaningful international visibility. At the exhibition, Mozaik Kiadó Kft. presented the software to a global audience, generating strong professional interest and receiving highly positive feedback from industry experts and attendees alike.

mozaMedical was created within the framework of the project titled “Development of a Life Sciences Simulation Platform Using Next-Generation Technologies,” supported by the National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NKFI). Implemented between October 2021 and September 2024, the project delivered a comprehensive, interactive learning platform that enables students to consolidate their theoretical knowledge while applying it in realistic, practice-oriented scenarios within a safe, simulated setting.

The joint research and development initiative was carried out through a consortium partnership with Mozaik Kiadó Kft., combining expertise from three key domains: health sciences, information technology, and educational methodology. Experts from the Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Studies developed the professional content, designed the pedagogical framework, and defined the learning objectives, while Mozaik Kiadó Kft. was responsible for the platform’s software development, visual design, and technological architecture.

Uniqueness and innovation in practice

One of mozaMedical’s defining strengths lies in its modular architecture and highly interactive design. The platform recreates a wide spectrum of healthcare scenarios and patient care processes, placing students in active decision-making roles rather than passive observation. The possibility of making mistakes – without real-world consequences – is deliberately embedded in the learning experience, fostering deeper understanding while strengthening professional confidence.

To support this structured learning process, the platform integrates several complementary tools:

Hand controller-based application: This component delivers an advanced simulation experience, allowing health sciences students to practice care protocols step by step while reinforcing the theoretical principles underlying each intervention.

Smartphone application: Offering an immersive observation mode, this tool enables students to explore clinical scenarios from multiple perspectives and access relevant theoretical explanations in real time.

Detailed 3D animations: High-quality visualizations demonstrate complex mechanisms and procedures, enhancing comprehension through engaging, experience-based representation.

Effective implementation and active student engagement

In the 2025/26 academic year, mozaMedical has been incorporated into the curricula of the Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Studies for the second consecutive year. At the undergraduate level, each semester includes at least one course that integrates the platform into its core learning resources. The system is provided free of charge, ensuring broad and equitable access for students. To date, more than 1,700 Hungarian and international students have used the platform to support their preparation and coursework.

In practice, the program has proven especially effective in preparing students for practical classes, encouraging independent learning, and supporting competency-based assessment. As a digital learning environment, it complements traditional classroom instruction by offering flexible access to course materials anytime and anywhere. Student feedback further indicates that the platform not only enhances engagement and accessibility but also strengthens the practical application of theoretical knowledge.

International interest and future opportunities

With its full learning content available in English, mozaMedical has already attracted interest from several international higher education institutions. Its selection as a finalist at Bett in London further demonstrates that the platform is not only relevant within Hungary, but also competitive in the global educational technology landscape.

The strong professional engagement generated at the exhibition has reinforced the developers’ conviction that, in the rapidly evolving field of digital health sciences education, there is clear international demand for solutions that combine rigorous academic foundations with advanced technological innovation.
