Description:
Medical training and simulation methods have made progress over the years, however, the progress made fails in comparison to other fields. New and improved electronic aids have seen huge improvements for both diagnosis and treatment, but little has been developed in the way of electronic training and simulation devices.
The current invention proposes a method that will generate an electronically controlled pulse on a standardized patient actor for medical simulation purposes. The pulse can be varied, and may have both regular and irregular rhythm.
