Medical training apparatus

Abstract

A medical training apparatus (M) consisting of an instrument holder (1b) provided with medical instruments (11a) to (11e), a model patient (2) simulating a patient to be examined and an examination table (3) on which the model patient (2) is placed and having a position-checking means (A) for checking the position of the examination table (3), a medical instrument-checking means (B) for checking the working states of the medical instruments (11a) to (11e), an examination-checking means (C) of checking the examination on the model patient (2), and a model patient-driving means (D) enclosed in the model patient (2), characterized in that the model patient -driving means (D) changes the facial expression of the model patient (2) based on at least one of the position-checking signal output from the position-checking means (A) and the medical instrument-checking signal output from the medical instrument-checking means (B) and the examination-checking signal output from the examination-checking means (C).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a new type of medical training device that can express the facial expressions and actions of anxiety, pain, etc. felt by actual patients by using a simulated patient body in consideration of the posture of a medical table or the operating state of a medical instrument. Background technique [0002] In recent years, in medical education, especially dental education, practical education such as grinding teeth implanted in a human head model or the like has been carried out. As conventional techniques related to such a medical training device, there are, for example, the following documents. [0003] Japanese Unexamined Publication No. 60-103953 (document 1) reveals a grinding simulation device for treatment ( figure 1 ), the grinding simulation device for treatment detects the load applied to the retainer holding the tooth model by the electronic balance, that is, the head pushing force, and detects the temperature durin...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0016] However, the medical simulator in Document 5 judges whether an inappropriate medical treatment has been performed based only on the expression of the simulated patient body generated by the output from various sensors installed on the simulated patient body, and the information on the examination table and medical instruments Not detected or recorded at all

Therefore, there is a problem that it is not possible to fully investigate and analyze inappropriate medical treatment behaviors caused by medical treatment tables and medical treatment equipment, and it is difficult to provide assistance for improving inappropriate operations of medical treatment equipment and medical treatment tables.
