1. A simulation system for teaching patient care, the system comprising:
- a simulator having a body sized and shaped to simulate at least a portion of a natural human body;
at least one sensor secured to the body of the simulator, the at least one sensor including a radiofrequency identification (RFID) tag and a coil operably connected to the RFID tag such that the at least one sensor emits a signal comprising a unique train of frequencies when interrogated; and
a virtual instrument for use with the simulator in performing a simulated patient care activity, the virtual instrument configured to interact with the at least one sensor coupled to the body in performing the simulated patient care activity, the virtual instrument including an acquisition coil configured to interrogate the at least one sensor to cause the at least one sensor to emit the signal comprising the unique train of frequencies.

Abstract
An interactive education system for teaching patient care to a user is described. The system comprises a patient simulator; a virtual instrument for use with the patient simulator in performing patient care activities; means for sensing an interaction between the virtual instrument and the simulator, and means for providing feedback to the user regarding the interaction between the virtual instrument and the simulator. In one aspect, the system includes a maternal simulator, a fetal simulator, and a neonatal simulator.

12. A simulation system for teaching patient care, the system comprising:
-
a simulator having a body sized and shaped to simulate at least a portion of a natural human body; at least one sensor associated with the body of the simulator, the at least one sensor including a radiofrequency identification (RFID) tag and a coil operably connected to the RFID tag such that the at least one sensor emits a signal comprising a unique train of frequencies when interrogated; a virtual ultrasound instrument for use with the simulator in performing a simulated ultrasound patient care activity, the virtual ultrasound instrument configured to interact with the at least one sensor coupled to the body in performing the simulated patient care activity, the virtual ultrasound instrument including an acquisition coil configured to interrogate the at least one sensor to cause the at least one sensor to emit the signal comprising the unique train of frequencies; and a processing unit in communication with the at least one sensor and the virtual ultrasound instrument, the processing unit configured to display an ultrasound image on a display in communication with the processing unit based on the interaction between the virtual ultrasound instrument and the at least one sensor. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
