Advanced Robotic Patients

The Simulation Center uses the most advanced robotic patient technology available for immersive health professional learning.

Our students learn in near-real-world clinical settings where they assess and treat a variety of robotic patients that replicate real-world clinical scenarios. This offers our learners the opportunity to experience and respond to various clinical situations as they would in actual practice. For example, students can assess the robotic patient’s heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation levels. They can evaluate and treat airway problems, and practice procedures such as CPR, bag-mask ventilation, intubation, and defibrillation.

In the video above, students are caring for a post-operative robotic pediatric patient immediately after an open reduction and internal fixation of a fractured arm. Students will complete they patient assessment, deliver indicated post-op care, administer pain management medications, and care for a new cast.

Meet HAL, the most advanced robotic patient available for near-real-world immersive health professional learning
The HAL S5301 simulator is the most advanced robotic patient available for immersive health professional learning. He offers many opportunities to advance student experiences that are unique, some of which include:
- HAL allows learners to evaluate his level of consciousness to assess for head trauma.
- HAL can shake his head, roll his yes and abnormally move his arm, head and neck, allowing learners to diagnose and treat seizures.
- HAL allows learners to assess his depth of neuromuscular blockade (muscle paralysis) using nerve stimulation or train of four monitoring in intensive care or surgical settings.
- HAL has artificial intelligence, and he can spontaneously respond to learners’ verbal questions based on a preprogrammed patient chart.
- HAL allows learners to insert a chest tube to treat for a pneumothorax (collapsed lung) or hemothorax (accumulation of blood between the membranes lining the lungs).
- HAL’s face and eyes can droop, and his grip strength can be weakened, which allows learners to recognize and assess tha the is having a stroke.
Meet Susie, a versatile robotic patient designed to immerse health professional students in near-real-world procedural training
The Susie S2400 is a versatile female robotic patient designed to immerse health professional students in near-real-world procedural training. She offers many opportunities to advance student experiences that are unique, some of which include:
- Susie allows learners to practice central venous catheter care including flushing, administration of medications and fluids, and dressing changes.
- Susie features realistic female genitalia for urinary catheterization training with fluid return and a patent rectum for suppository and enema administration.
- Susie offers learners the ability to practice hands-on Gastrostomy tube placement, ability to check for patency, administration of eternal nutrition, and aspiration of stomach contents.
- Susie features seven interchangeable lifelike breasts with various pathologies for inspection, palpation, and identification.
- Susie allows learners to practice various gynecological examination skills and procedures, including bimanual pelvic exams, cervix visualization, PAP tests, and IUD management.
Meet Charlie, a pediatric robotic patient simulator designed to help students develop specialized skills needed to diagnose and treat children
The Pediatric HAL (Charlie) S2225 simulator is the most advanced robotic pediatric patient available for immersive health professional learning. He offers many opportunities to advance student experiences that are unique, some of which include:
- Charlie offers students the ability to learn how to assess common emotional states via non-verbal facial cues such as, drooping eyelids, lethargic head movement, crying, grimacing, and yawning.
- Charlie allows learners to practice proper chest compression with feedback as they perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Students can defibrillate, pace, or cardiovert Charlie using real equipment.
- Charlie offers students the ability to perform finger sticks to obtain a glucose reading.
- Charlie allows learners to insert a chest tube to treat for a pneumothorax (collapsed lung) or hemothorax (accumulation of blood between the membranes lining the lungs).
- Charlie offers learners the ability to practice peripheral intavenous catheter access including catheter insertion, flushing, administration of medications and fluids, and dressing changes.
Meet Victoria, the world’s most lifelike robotic childbirth simulator designed to immerse health professional students in a full range of obstetrical scenarios
The Victoria S2200 is a female robotic patient that can simulate a wide range of obstetrical scenarios such as early pregnancy complications, high-risk deliveries, and postpartum emergencies to non-gravid events. She offers many opportunities to advance student obstetrical experiences, some of which include:
- Victoria offers learners the ability to practice full-term infant deliveries using a full range of real world medical equipment such as fetal, ECG, and NIBP monitors.
- Victoria allows students to perform measurable health assessments on the delivered full term baby to determine if additional care is needed.
- Victoria offers learners the ability to practice lower frequency, higher risk vaginal deliveries such shoulder dystocia and breech deliveries.
- Victoria allows students to recognize the signs and symptoms of postpartum hemorrhage and then practice subsequent evidence-based patient care.
- Victoria allows students to recognize the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia and then practice subsequent evidence-based patient care during a eclamptic seizure.
Meet Super Tory, the world’s most advance newborn robotic simulator designed to immerse health professional students in a full range of neonatal care
The Super Tory S2220 is a robotic newborn patient that can simulate a wide range of neonatal scenarios. She offers many opportunities to advance student neonatal experiences, some of which include:
- SuperTory includes advanced programmable features such as movement of limbs, mouth, and eyes; dynamic lung compliance; and real patient monitor support.
- SuperTory simulates complex pathologies with features like crying, grunting, seizures, and programmable muscle tone.
- SuperTory supports neonatal resuscitation, stabilization, and transport with real-time CPR feedback and reporting.
- SuperTory allows for comprehensive training in vascular access techniques, including: IV cannulation, umbilical catheterization, and bilateral intraosseous tibial infusion.
- SuperTory utilizes an advanced circulatory system which includes: variable skin coloration, capillary refill time assessment, programmable fontanel, palpable pulses, and blood pressure-dependent pulses.
