Simulation of a neonatal monitor for medical training purposes

The design of a neonatal monitor for medical training purposes is hereby presented. In order to do that, the following main vital signs were modeled and simulated: ECG, pulse, blood pressure, CO2 level, among others. The signals were integrated to a graphic interface that generates different scenari...

Description
Summary:The design of a neonatal monitor for medical training purposes is hereby presented. In order to do that, the following main vital signs were modeled and simulated: ECG, pulse, blood pressure, CO2 level, among others. The signals were integrated to a graphic interface that generates different scenarios showing signals of patients with or without pathologies. Simulated signals were validated against real ones and, in general, the error is less than 5 %; in addition, the neonatal monitor was assessed by 16 specialists; those doctors stated that simulated signals are of “excellent quality”, “truthful” and that the interface is “user friendly”.
