What classes would benefit from having an Infant Vital Signs Trainer?
From parenting to childcare to nursing, this trainer would be a benefit to students who are looking to work with children in their career. The included curriculum written by a Pediatrician, allows teachers to choose how in-depth they want to take the training. Teachers can use this trainer for general infant health overview to in-depth scenarios to repetitive skills training based on the type of class.
How does the RealityScope™ attachment work?
The RealityScope attachment fits on any stethoscope to turn it into a “smart device.” When users place the RealityScope attachment over corresponding auscultation sites on the trainer torso, the correct heart, lung or bowel sound will be heard as the RealityScope communicates with the included app via Bluetooth Technology. Instructors can use the app to control which scenario the students are listening for.
