A patient simulation system for healthcare training is provided. The system includes one or more interchangeable shells comprising a physical anatomical model of at least a portion of a patient's body, the shell adapted to be illuminated from within the shell to provide one or more dynamic images viewable on the outer surface of the shells; wherein the system comprises one or more imaging devices enclosed within the shell and adapted to render the one or more dynamic images on an inner surface of the shell and viewable on the outer surface of the shells; one or more interface devices located about the patient shells to receive input and provide output; and one or more computing units in communication with the image units and interface devices, the computing units adapted to provide an interactive simulation for healthcare training. In other embodiments, the shell is adapted to be illuminated from outside the shell.

Physical-virtual patient system

An anatomical feature simulation unit is a physical device designed to help simulate an anatomical feature (e.g., a wound) on an object (e.g., a human being or human surrogate such as a medical manikin) for instructing a trainee to learn or practice treatment skills. For the trainee, the simulation looks like a real body part when viewed using an Augmented Reality (AR) system. Responsive to a change in the anatomic state of the object (e.g., bending a knee or raising of an arm) not only the spatial location and orientation of the anatomical feature stays locked on the object in the AR system, but the characteristics of the anatomical feature change based on the physiologic logic of changing said anatomical state (e.g., greater or less blood flow, opening or closing of a wound).

Adaptive visual overlay for anatomical simulation

A wound simulation unit is a physical device designed to help simulate a wound on an object (e.g., a human being or human surrogate such as a medical manikin) for instructing a trainee to learn or practice wound-related treatment skills. For the trainee, the simulation looks like a real wound when viewed using an Augmented Reality (AR) system. Responsive to a change in the anatomic state of the object (e.g., bending a knee or raising of an arm) not only the spatial location and orientation of the wound stays locked on the object in the AR system, but the characteristics of the wound change based on the physiologic logic of changing said anatomical state (e.g., greater or less blood flow, opening or closing of the wound).

Adaptive visual overlay wound simulation

A Tactile-Visual Wound (TVW) simulation unit is a physical device designed to help simulate a wound on a human being or human surrogate (e.g., a medical manikin) for instructing a trainee to learn or practice wound-related treatment skills. For the trainee, the TVW would feel (to the touch) like a real wound, look like a real wound when viewed using an Augmented Reality (AR) system, and appear to behave like a real wound when manipulated.
