Train Technical and Communication Skills on Real People
The training experience is simulated in a highly natural and realistic way. Both the healthcare professional performing the procedure—such as a medical student, junior doctor, or nurse—and the person undergoing the procedure experience the situation as fully realistic.
Because the “patient” is a real person, communication happens automatically and naturally. The healthcare professional speaks to the patient instinctively, something that simply does not occur when training with mannequins or phantoms.
For the healthcare professional undergoing the procedure, the experience offers a unique insight into what it feels like to be a patient. From a supine position, the perspective changes completely. The brain perceives procedures such as an intramuscular injection as real, and the body responds accordingly. This phenomenon applies to a wide range of medical and nursing interventions.
This level of realism provides educators with an innovative and powerful method for training and coaching, resulting in more effective learning outcomes. In clinical practice, patients notice little to no difference, while healthcare professionals report significantly increased confidence when interacting with patients and performing medical and nursing procedures.
