An Oklahoma school is teaching nursing students about medicine by using full-body mannequin robots.
The robots, which talk, blink, and breathe, help to enhance the learning experience of nursing students at the Meridian Technology Center in Stillwater, OK. They are part of the clinical simulation center that Meridian plans to build within the next two years.
Depending on which skill the student is learning, the nursing instructor is able to program the mannequin with different vital signs, such as blood pressure. The student will then act accordingly depending on the robot's symptoms and scenario. School officials feel that the robots and the new center will encourage students to enter the medical field and help nurses and other medical trainees gain confidence.
