Wearable simulator for enhanced realism

To create a vest with the features of a hospital SimMan to improve the realism for medical trainees.

Project Overview

Through simulations doctors in training are getting very good at performing the necessary medical procedures. However the one thing that they have to learn on actually patients is key human interaction skills. The idea of this vest is to be a wearable simulator that can be worn by an actor to make it so doctors in training have to deal with personally interactions as well. This vest will be used by medical staff during training of medical students and EMTs to allow for a more in-depth and interpersonal experience.
