| Currently, clinical simulators (full-body, robotic electromechanical devices) rely on computer-based input through a laptop computer. The computer interface is a complex series of screen-based inputs that are typically handled through keystrokes and the use of a mouse. Our goal is to design a new user interface that is easier to use than the current model. The interface would allow the technician to manipulate key data quicker and more efficiently, thus allowing for a more realistic simulation experience. In addition, the technician would be better able to monitor student performance rather than staring at a screen. We plan on using a micro-controller which will use a USB interface to talk to the computer that sets certain parameters for the "body" (Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, etc). The micro-controller will take data from various knobs, buttons, and a numeric key pad. The keypad will be used to enter a specific value and will be shown on a display prior to being uploaded to the computer. The knob(s) will be used to sweep certain parameters. The interface will allow the technician to sweep several parameters at the same time. The buttons will allow the operator to upload preset values to the computer (resting state, tachycardia, etc). |
