Human Patient Simulator

A human patient simulator is a computer-integrated mannequin that reproduces selected human anatomy, physiology, and clinical responses for education and research in medicine. Software controls variables such as heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and voice responses, allowing the simulator to react to learner interventions, changing conditions, and administered treatments in real time. These systems support hands-on training in physical examination, diagnosis, emergency care, anesthesia, and clinical decision-making without exposing patients to risk. They also enable standardized assessment, team-based practice, and repeated simulation of rare or high-stakes events, helping learners develop technical skills, communication, and patient-management strategies.

A Model to Simulate Clinically Relevant Hypoxia in Humans

2016

Hypoxia simulation in humans has usually been performed by inhaling hypoxic gas mixtures. For this study, apneic divers were used to simulate dynamic hypoxia in humans. Additionally, physiological changes in desaturation and re-saturation kinetics were evaluated with non-invasive tools such as Near-Infrared-Spectroscopy (NIRS) and peripheral oxygenation saturation (SpO2).

Patients with visual deficits after stroke report about different constraints in daily life most likely due to variable compensatory strategies, which are difficult to differentiate in clinical routine. We present a clinical set-up which allows measurement of different compensatory head- and eye-movement-strategies and evaluating their effects on driving performance.

A protocol is presented for the characterization of the in-field pedestrian behavior and the simulation of the resulting structural response. Field-tests demonstrate that the in situ identified pacing rate and synchronization rate among the participants constitute an essential input for the simulation and verification of the human-induced loads.

The supply of type 2 diabetic islets for research is insufficient. Here we share our protocol for isolating islets from patients undergoing partial pancreatectomy. This approach represents a unique venue for obtaining islets from type 2 diabetic and clinically matched non-diabetic subjects in adequate numbers for basic and clinical studies.

2012

An efficient way to gain insight into how humans navigate themselves in three dimensions is described. The method takes advantage of a motion simulator capable of moving observers in ways unattainable by traditional simulators. Results confirm that movement in the horizontal plane is underestimated, while vertical movement is overestimated.
