Products
Wearable labor-and-delivery simulator module
Wearable labor-and-delivery module for live simulated participants providing timed haptic contraction cues, controlled fluid release to simulate natal fluids, and pre-programmed birthing scenarios.
Wearable urinary catheterization simulator module
Wearable module to simulate urinary catheter insertion with interchangeable external anatomy modules, tactile palpation features, simulated bladder-scan outputs, and haptic cues to signal procedure events.
Interchangeable wound-care simulator modules
Interchangeable wound modules that provide visual, tactile, and odor cues on a live participant to support wound assessment and management training.
Full-body wearable harness and modular mounting platform
Harness and mounting platform to secure procedure-specific modules on simulated participants and enable whole-patient wearable simulations.
Wrist-worn participant communication device
Wrist-worn device for simulated participants that provides discrete LEDs and haptic vibrations to convey cues, pairs with a mobile app for control, and includes an alert/panic function for participant safety.
Scenario packages with simulated vital-sign outputs
Accessory scenario packages that provide pre-built scenario flows and simulated physiologic data outputs to accompany wearable modules for integrated training sessions.
