PapSim: Digital Simulator for Gynecological Cytology Education (Version 1.0)

This repository contains version 1.0 of PapSim, a digital simulator developed to support the teaching of gynecological cytology in health education. The simulator was developed using Unity and includes interactive scenes covering sample collection and laboratory analysis. This version corresponds to the prototype described and evaluated in the study “Prototypes of Digital Simulators and Board Games for Cervical Cancer Prevention: Insights from Cytology Professionals” (Journal of Interactive Systems, DOI: 10.5753/jis.2025.5633), where its design and initial evaluation are presented. The simulator aims to enhance experiential learning and support the development of practical skills in pathology education. A validated version (v2.0) is planned for future release following large-scale educational evaluation.
