my family says I'm one of the Florida
gets round I can show you how I feel I'm
moving my face and my eye and if you
talk to me
I'll talk back let me show you okay he's
amazing this is a pediatric how he's one
of the most simulated five-year-olds in
the world and is made right here in
Florida this lifelike boy is also
getting results for nurses doctors first
responders with advanced medical
training
Joey nostalgia Marketo from go marred
scientific and the makers of these
simulators welcome thank you and you've
brought along pediatric hell yes yes as
well as super Tori right so we were all
saying during the commercial we've got a
focus I mean this is fascinating and so
tell us a little bit about pediatric
hell I know he was talking to us and
he's reacting right now I've never been
on a robot he is and the reason he does
that and the reason you see how
realistic these are is because nurses
and pediatricians and first responders
need to get information from these
patients and the problem is their
nonverbal most of the time certainly the
babies nonverbal and five-year-olds in a
stressful situation can be nonverbal as
well so the first responders need to get
information very quickly and how can
they do it by facial expressions by
movement by Tears so he can simulate
pain he can cry and he can move his face
as you can see yeah I was tracking
towards us because they need to get that
information very quickly and
non-verbally so working with
pediatricians we were able to configure
his face to respond just the way you see
him responding to you now yeah and if we
say his name hello he's ignoring me he
does yeah there you go
where's dad that's right there I mean
and when you see us so excited about
some about how you seem so so proud of
the work you guys do right what's that
feeling now seeing seeing them actually
come to life right it is amazing and we
always look at these as
educational models because what we're
doing with these simulators is ensuring
that the next generation of nurses
physicians first responders are really
prepared for those critical situations
and that's why we're so proud of this
work because we know that folks can
train on these before they ever get to a
real patient so they can perform real
medical procedures on these simulators
using real equipment a real EKG if
here's a heart attack here today we can
defibrillate him with a real a IDI
that's out in your lobby a whole family
of them even giving birth to we do
that's right
yes explain that so we have an adult
female Victoria who actually delivers a
baby and it's extremely realistic
because again we look at these high
pressure situations where nurses and
physicians really need to be very well
trained before they get to a situation
with a real patient so that's why these
are so important and and you're right
that's why we are so proud of them and
the baby just just twitched yeah so
first off how do they work I mean in
most laymen terms for us sure well you
can see that I have this tablet in front
of me so these are wireless and tether
lists they're only connected via radio
frequency and the reason for that as
emergencies don't always happen in
hospitals they happen wherever so we
need to be able to control these
simulators from this tablet remotely so
that's the first is this wireless
communication that we have the second is
the servo motors and the pneumatics and
hydraulics that are inside so as you
described in the introduction it is a
robot it's a medical robot and inside if
we were to take these very realistic
skins off that's what you would see are
these electromechanical components and
the software and hardware that controls
all of that and you're right we do
develop all of that in Miami Florida and
so we have the American Academy of
pediatricians meeting correctly can here
in Orlando big conference for them how
do these robots you know play a role in
that convention and and what's the next
frontier because that's always what you
see it yeah so we are here today because
of the American Academy of Pediatrics
and we work very closely with that
organization you can see how realistic
these simu
our and that's based on input for those
pediatrician from those pediatricians to
ensure that they're getting the right
training that they need what's the next
step well technology continues to
advance so five years ago even we
couldn't have envisioned something like
this because we look at not only the
technology of making it small but
remember these are in hospitals or fire
houses or the simulators we make for the
military on a battlefield so they need
to be reliable and working all the time
that technology just didn't exist a few
years ago so how is technology going to
advance don't know smaller faster more
reliable I'd envisioned all of those
things coming in the future and I mean
I'm sure the reaction of people when
they first see these even medical
professionals I mean they just have to
be blown away by them yeah it's stunning
yeah especially folks who may have been
in practice for several years and they
may have trained on an old CPR dummy as
it used to be called and now they see
something this realistic and engaged
just as you've been engaging with him
this morning because that scenario we
want to ensure that the learners are
engaged with their patient and gaining
that connection with their patient and
we can do that with him and the learners
can as well you can even make them cry
sure we don't want to do that either
rule no bleeding on this thank you so
much for being here thank you for
bringing them yes great
