1. A medical training system, comprising:
- a mannequin including a support structure corresponding to a human skeleton;
a plurality of sensors disposed about the mannequin; and
a processor configured to;
determine a current physiological state of the mannequin,receive an input value from at least one of the plurality of sensors,interpret the input value to determine a new physiological state, andactivate a motor to modify a resistance of or cause motion of the support structure based upon the new physiological state.

Abstract
Method and apparatus to provide simulation of a human casualty. In one embodiment an autonomous casualty simulator includes a processing module having a scenario progression controller and a physiological modeling system to receive sensor input and to control effectors. The autonomous casualty simulator can be contained in a nominal human mannequin form.

13. A method of providing medical training using a human mannequin, comprising:
-
determining a current physiological state using a selected trauma sequence, and a time duration since an initiation of the selected trauma sequence; receiving an input value from at least one of a plurality of sensors connected to the human mannequin; interpreting the input value using a multidimensional lookup table to determine a new physiological state, the multidimensional lookup table relating inputs from a plurality of sensors to outputs including cardinal physiological status values; using at least one of the plurality of effectors connected to the human mannequin to generate a physiological response, wherein the physiological response is at least partially determined by the new physiological state; identifying a trainee using the medical training system; and creating a record of intervention using the input value from the at least one of the plurality of sensors and the identity of the trainee. - View Dependent Claims (14)
