Human Patient Simulators

Medical education is implementing the use of various simulators into curricula on all levels.

The reasons for this are demands due to the rapid changes in health care; increasing use of more and more advanced technology, structural changes leading to less patient time for doctors, attitudinal changes from more demanding patient groups and last but not least, a development of computer technology that actually makes it possible to resemble and replicate parts of, or the whole human body.

Training in a full-scale simulation environment, using high-fidelity model driven mannequins, i.e. patient simulators, has many advantages. Individual health professionals and teams can learn basic procedures as well as train complex courses of events. Practise of rare, but dangerous complications can be arranged. The milieu offers training possibilities for different professionals (nurses, doctors, medical technicians etc).
