Fractional process simulator with remote apparatus for multi-locational training of medical teams
First Claim
1. A virtual simulator for the training of medical teams in the coordinated treatment of a single patient comprising:
- (a) An event-driven state model of the virtual patient governed by a rule-based expert system in software which is replicated at each station, and(b) a plurality of input/output stations;
(1) each representative of a function to be performed by a team unit,(2) each station comprised of a plurality of data receivers to receive differentiated data from others of said stations,(3) each station with at least one representative output means on location, and(4) each station able to process and send differentiated data to other stations via a data transmitter,(5) each station with at least one manual input means on location, and(6) each station with memory means and data processing means to hold and modify the event-driven state model.

Abstract
This invention relates to a simulator for training medical teams, the members of which are located in different places, or stations, as they train together using apparatus in coordinated fashion in relation to a numerical data, or virtual, non-physical model without input from a live instructor, wherein each remote station provides a differentiated input with a plurality of differentiated devices, and receives differentiated feedback from the model to each individual station in representations which are visual, tactile, aural, and/or olfactory in their display, depending on the feedback required by each individual station.
