How energy harvesting is enabling new possibilities for medical wearable devices
Embedded Computing Design
The IoT has transformed the healthcare industry. Healthcare facilities and hospitals use connected IoT devices for a wide range of use cases, including giving wearable medical devices to patients as an easy way to monitor their vitals from anywhere. Additionally, connected beacons can be used to track the whereabouts of patients while they are at a facility, an important feature for large campuses. These types of solutions are especially helpful given that the healthcare industry is facing staffing shortages.

Nursing simulation center gives UMPI and UMFK students real-life experiences
The County
On an average day in class, University of Maine at Presque Isle nursing students Rachel Stetson and Sarah Sutherland check patient vital signs and heart beats, ask patients how they are feeling and perform quick interventions during health emergencies.
For students like Stetson and Sutherland, there is one major difference between working in UMPI’s new nursing simulation center and an actual hospital. At UMPI their “patients” are mannequins designed to look and behave like real people.

How US medical schools are training a post-pandemic generation of doctors
Time
In February 2019, the Kaiser Permanente health system announced a new kind of medical school. The school would be built “from the ground up” to prepare students for the complexities of the U.S. medical system. The curriculum would emphasize cultural competency, patient and provider well-being, and the elimination of socioeconomic disparities in the medical system. Students would see patients right away, and hands-on learning would replace many lectures.

Victoria Brazil: Translational simulation — realising the promise for improving healthcare
The BMJ Opinion
Performing safe and effective intubation of trauma patients who arrive in the emergency department is time critical and potentially life saving. Getting it right is vital. The textbook version of the procedure is pretty simple: take the tube, slide it down the patient’s throat until it enters the lungs, then start the ventilator. Practising it using simulation makes sense — just develop that psychomotor skill on a manikin. But intubation performance in the real world is far more complex.
