Until recently, purchasing healthcare simulation equipment meant that clinical simulation educators were buying the simulator as is at the very moment of purchase. Any design quirks or lack of functionality would simply remain with the buyer and their simulator throughout the simulator’s lifespan. Over time the simulation educator would uncover more things they wished their [...]
Simulation centers often experience periods of low use while contending with variable funding, and healthcare innovators often experience challenges in gathering information about the usability of novel devices. While both scenarios are known to occur, the increased prevalence of healthcare simulation use across medical simulation centers has prompted the need to overcome such barriers. This [...]
Chapter 2.5 of Defining Excellence in Simulation Programs describes wearable simulators as products “designed with interactive technology and realistic anatomy and physiology to replicate associated patient care.” Similar to the game of Operation, sensors embedded into the wearable product send haptic signals to the standardized patient, allowing them to provide real-time, authentic patient reactions throughout [...]
