Medical simulation. An NSHQ [ de ] instructor shows a SOF medic the proper procedure for controlling a mannequin. Medical simulation, or more broadly, healthcare simulation, is a branch of simulation related to education and training in medical fields of various industries. Simulations can be held in the classroom, in situational environments ...
Live, Virtual, & Constructive (LVC) Simulation is a broadly used taxonomy for classifying Modeling and Simulation (M&S). However, categorizing a simulation as a live, virtual, or constructive environment is problematic since there is no clear division among these categories. The degree of human participation in a simulation is infinitely ...
The Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH), formerly known as the Society for Medical Simulation is a non-profit organization founded in 2004 to advance the application of medical simulation in healthcare. [1] It serves as a resource for young professionals in their growth in medical education and administration.
Simulated patient. In health care, a simulated patient (SP), also known as a standardized patient, sample patient, or patient instructor, is an individual trained to act as a real patient in order to simulate a set of symptoms or problems. Simulated patients have been successfully utilized for education, evaluation of health care professionals ...
Modeling and simulation (M&S) is the use of models (e.g., physical, mathematical, behavioral, or logical representation of a system, entity, phenomenon, or process) as a basis for simulations to develop data utilized for managerial or technical decision making. [ 1 ][ 2 ] In the computer application of modeling and simulation a computer is used ...
A simulation is an imitative representation of a process or system that could exist in the real world. [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ] In this broad sense, simulation can often be used interchangeably with model. [ 2 ] Sometimes a clear distinction between the two terms is made, in which simulations require the use of models; the model represents the key ...
Haptic technology (also kinaesthetic communication or 3D touch) [ 1 ][ 2 ] is technology that can create an experience of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user. [ 3 ] These technologies can be used to create virtual objects in a computer simulation, to control virtual objects, and to enhance remote control of machines and ...
Medical informatics introduces information processing concepts and machinery to the domain of medicine. Health informatics is the study and implementation of computer structures and algorithms to improve communication, understanding, and management of medical information. [ 1 ] It can be viewed as a branch of engineering and applied science.
