The SimSuit is a garment worn by a Standardized Patient (SP) for the purpose of simulating physiological conditions to test a Student or an examiner's diagnostic and procedural skills.

The SimSuit, controlled wirelessly by simulation software, enhances the exam performance by responding in real time to diagnosis and treatment while providing feedback to the SP and instructor.

Used in conjunction with the SimScope™ Wifi, instructors can adjust and adapt the suit scenarios to fit many conditions wirelessly. Featuring 5-wire EKG connections, pulse points, blood pressure cuff accessory, as well as auscultation capabilities, the SimSuit is capable of recreating many simulated medical situations to supplement almost any curriculum.

Functions:

• Zipper along the neck to increase the neck hole size
• Six size-adjustable velcro straps on the chest, waist and hips for an improved fit, and accommodates for the different size
• The slim battery pack inside the new TechPack (& WiFi Hub) can now easily be accessed and recharged via USB port
• A vibration-based carotid and radial pulse provides a more realistic feedback
• Features posterior, anterior auscultation points and an enlarged sound library

Features: 

• Electronic Training Stethoscope with a dedicated laptop
• Simulator for Blood Pressure used to replicate manual blood pressure measurement.
• 5-wire ECG connections: garment has five integrated snaps compatible with three bipolar limb leads and one unipolar lead
• Carotid and radial pulse points : some medical conditions can be a factor in determining the best place for taking the pulse. Therefore, system offers the possibility to measure both: radial pulse using the simulated radial artery in the wrist, and the carotid pulse on the simulated carotid artery in the neck. 
• Log file : all activities performed during a scenario including time stamps are trackable with the log file functionality and can be saved as a separate file for debriefing. 
• Pre-recorded vocal sounds software by the instructor, the pre-recorded vocal sounds can be played into the ear buds worn by a Standardized Patient to provide clues and guidance.

Advantages:

• Capable of recreating unlimited simulated medical scenarios to supplement any curriculum
• Create and save custom scenarios
• Wearable technology which can be put both on Standardized Patients as well as on patient simulators for added realism
• Allows students to perform a physical assessment, while retaining the human-to-human interaction necessary for realistic, engaging education
• Enhances the exam performance by responding in real time to diagnosis and treatment
