Appl. No.:

16/693833

Inventors:

Amy COWPERTHWAIT - Newark DE, US
Andrew DEVENNY - Virginia Beach VA, US
Danielle GERSTMAN - Chalfont PA, US

Assignee:

University of Delaware - Newark DE

International Classification:

G09B 23/28
G09B 23/30

Abstract:

Medical treatment simulation systems and devices are disclosed. One device includes an overlay, a simulated treatment structure, at least one feedback device, and at least one processor. The overlay is configured to be secured to the live subject and to cover at least a portion of a body of the live subject. The simulated treatment structure is configured to simulate a structure associated with the medical procedure. The at least one feedback device is configured to provide a feedback signal to the live subject. The at least one processor is connected to the simulated treatment structure and the at least one feedback device. The processor is programmed to to operate the feedback device to provide the feedback signal based upon input generated from interaction between a treatment provider and the simulated treatment structure. The disclosed devices may be used to simulate intravenous, catheter, defibrillation, and/or thoracic treatments.

International Classification:

G09B 23/28

Abstract:

Medical treatment simulation devices are disclosed. One device includes an overlay configured to be secured to a subject, a simulated treatment structure, at least one detector, and at least one feedback device. The detector is coupled to the simulated treatment structure and configured to detect an interaction with the simulated treatment structure. The feedback device is coupled to the overlay and configured to provide feedback based on the interaction detected by the at least one detector.

Inventors:

Amy Cowperthwait - Bear DE, US

Assignee:

University of Delaware - Newark DE

International Classification:

G09B 23/28
G09B 5/02

US Classification:

434265

Abstract:

Medical treatment simulation devices are disclosed. One device includes an overlay, a tracheostomy structure, one or more tubes, at least one sensor, and at least one feedback device. The overlay is configured to be secured to a subject. The overlay is configured to cover at least a portion of a neck and upper torso of the subject. The tracheostomy structure is provided in a neck portion of the overlay. The one or more tubes are positioned within the overlay. The tubes are connected to the tracheostomy structure. The sensor is coupled to the tracheostomy structure and configured to detect a manipulation of the tracheostomy structure. The feedback device is coupled to the overlay. The feedback device is configured to provide feedback based on the manipulation detected by the at least one sensor.
