Premature baby simulator Paul is the smallest high-tech patient simulator in the world.
Designed by Neonatal specialists, Paul offers a previously unknown level of simulation training for Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU) and Local Neonatal Units (LNU).
Paul combines a highly realistic external appearance with highly realistic internal anatomy, with a body length of 35cm and a weight of 1090g.
Its outer and inner anatomy was reproduced in detail on the basis of MRI data from real premature babies of the 27 weeks + 3 of pregnancy, creating a never before seen level of realism for premature and low birth weight infants.
Preterm births continue to increase with 1 in 13 babies receiving some form of neonatal care according to NICE Specialist Care of Newborns guidance. Neonatal clinical expertise helps to create safe pathways of care for premature babies and their families and improve the quality of outcomes for preterm babies.
Premature baby simulator Paul allows staff to practice the delivery of complex high-dependency care in neonatal units. The immersive realism and highly realistic neonatal training scenarios offered by Paul supports the development of the neonatal family-centred care approach.
Go beyond high fidelity. The future is high emotion simulation.
Pregnancy week 27+3
Hyper-realistic anatomy
Intuitive controls
Completely wireless
Highly realistic anatomy combined...
Paul was developed by an interdisciplinary team of neonatologists, neonatal nurses and neonatal simulation trainers in close collaboration with special effects designers.
Paul is based on the MRI data of real premature babies. The internal and external anatomy of a premature baby in the 27+3 weeks of pregnancy with a weight of just 1090 grams has been realistically reproduced.
In particular, Paul's unique, realistic airway enables the training of modern care strategies in neonatology (e.g. LISA) at the highest level.
Practice the skill of intubating a premature baby in the safety of the simulation suite environment.
... with the latest simulation technology!
While other paediatric simulators make technological compromises due to their small size, the team at Sim Characters has combined the expertise of biomedical engineers, hardware and software developers, and animatronics experts to develop a state-of-the-art neonatal simulator.
For the first time, this highly sophisticated technology has been used in a premature baby simulator with a length of just 35cm.
With its sophisticated sensor technology, its physiological lungs and robust mechanics, Paul sets new standards in the field of medical simulation. High fidelity was yesterday, the future belongs to high emotion simulation.
Paul comes complete with a control laptop. Users can manage the clinical state, which will change in response to the actions taken by the neonatal team. The patient monitor displays Paul's vital signs including heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation levels.
