PATIENT: Physical Anatomical Trainer Instrumented for Education and Non-Subjective Testing

The PATIENT manikin (Physical Anatomical Trainer Instrumented for Education and Non-subjective Testing) is designed with the conflicting needs of a highly modular system for ultimate scenario flexibility and cost containment, and a highly realistic system. PATIENT provides a unique combination of capital and disposable components, with each organ treated as a limited-reuse component. The organs contain unobtrusive instrumentation which informs the PATIENT control unit of the organ status. The control unit can adjust whole-body parameters to reflect the local physiology. PATIENT enables tailored simulations, from Point of Injury training of basic life support, through hospital training including surgical interventions.
