The Advanced Modular Manikin Open Source Platform for Healthcare Simulation

Abstract

Current thinking in healthcare education stipulates a holistic approach with a focus on patient management, bringing together technical skills, decision-making, and team performance. In parallel, training opportunities with actual patients have diminished, and the number of different interventions to master has increased. Training on simulators has become broadly accepted; however, requirements for such training devices have outpaced the development of new simulators. The Department of Defense (DoD) targeted this gap with a development challenge. This article introduces the Advanced Modular Manikin (AMM) platform and describes the path followed to address the challenge.
