Wearable simulator for enhanced realism

To develop a wearable vest that simulates patient's breathing and heart rates for a variety of different cases.

Project Overview

Simulations have become a prominent tool in the medical industry to train students and staff in a safe environment on infrequent and risky scenarios. However, mannequins remain inanimate objects that can be hard to interact with in a realistic way. This project aims to create a wearable simulation vest that a human could wear to create a more realistic interpretation of these events. The vest would be equipped with audible and electrical body function simulators able to be manipulated and detected for different scenarios similar to mannequin simulators. The vest wearer would then be able to more accurately act out scenarios and interact with the medical students and staff to better portray specific medical conditions, emotions, and body positions.
