Abstract: An interactive neonatal resuscitation training simulator and method employing an infant android of life-like appearance and response. The android has an intelligent, interactive control mechanism which: simulates a condition within the android corresponding to a human condition requiring resuscitation; detects and evaluates resuscitation activity on the android by a trainee employing the simulator; and adjusts the android's simulated condition in response to the trainee's resuscitation effort. The adjustment made by the intelligent, interactive control mechanism mimics a predetermined human reaction to a resuscitation effort such as that made by the trainee. The simulator also includes a neonatal workstation and a virtual reality environment enclosure. In appearance, the workstation is an approximate replication of an actual resuscitation workstation typically found in a hospital delivery room.
