Virtual Patient System

Telemed : a Distributed Virtual Patient Record System

A cardiopulmonary system for a virtual patient

We present a simulation of a cardiopulmonary system. The simulation is used within a serious game to help for nurses education. It runs in real-time and can be easily modified to represent different illnesses. The system can adequately react when a nurse executes an unexpected action on the patient. The simulator uses a bottom-up design to model the cardiopulmonary system, using simple mathemat...

Streaming Virtual Patient Records

Clinical record integration and visualization is one of the most important abilities of modern health information systems (HIS). Its use on clinical encounters plays a relevant role in the efficacy and efficiency of healthcare. However, the amount of data currently being produced, stored and used in hospital settings is stressing information technology infrastructure; integrated HIS of central ...

Virtual Patient Model for Multi-Person Virtual Medical Environments

We describe the architecture of a virtual patient model, the Virtual ED Patient, for scenarios in emergency medicine. The model is rule-based, and uses four vital signs as a representation of its state. The model is used in a multi-person learning environment based on online gaming technology. The efficacy of the model and the Virtual ED learning environment is evaluated in a study where advanc...

Virtual Reality Telerobotic System

This paper describes a telerobotic system operated through a virtual reality (VR) interface. A least squares method is used to find the transformation mapping, from the virtual to real environments. Results revealed an average transformation error of 3mm. The system was tested for the task of planning minimum time shaking trajectories to discharge the contents of a suspicious package onto a wor...
