The world's most advanced paediatric simulator

Paediatric HAL is designed to help health care students and professionals at all levels develop the specialised skills needed to effectively communicate with, diagnose, and treat young patients throughout the continuum of care.

Paediatric HAL's responsive features set a new standard for training across the pre-hospital, transport, emergency, nursing, and intensive care settings.

Paediatric HAL introduces a host of new technologies including active robotics, which allows it to simulate nearly a dozen facial expressions, including anxiety, anger, amazement, ongoing and transient pain, and more.

For the first time in paediatric simulation, HAL will offer clinical educators a solution for developing learners' communication skills and empathy through immersive patient-provider communication simulation experiences.

"Good communication skills are essential for diagnosing and treating children, yet until now, learners and clinicians haven't had a paediatric simulator that interacts with them in a realistic, lifelike way," John Eggert, executive vice president of Gaumard Scientific Company, says.

"With Paediatric HAL, you can practice handling difficult situations, such as how to communicate a serious medical diagnosis to a young child."

Gaumard recognises that every second counts in paediatric emergency medicine and critical care. That is why Paediatric HAL is completely wireless and tetherless to ensure the continuum of care is never interrupted even as he is moved from outside the hospital to the emergency room and paediatric intensive care.

"Paediatric HAL raises the bar in anatomical and physiological fidelity, allowing participants to practice in-situ using real equipment and employ clinically accurate techniques".

"Participants can perform a full range of emergency procedures including surgical airway, needle decompression, and chest tube thoracostomy with the highest degree of realism. It's the closest experience to real world paediatric emergency care available today," said John Eggert.

Paediatric HAL supports a broad range of real patient monitors and sensors and features dynamic lung compliance that responds to real mechanical ventilation. This enables learners to develop the skills needed to set up and operate equipment as they would in real clinical situations.

Paediatric HAL includes 10 outcome-focused scenarios designed to replicate a variety of clinical situations throughout the spectrum of paediatric care. Accompanying each Simulation Learning Experience is a detailed written guide for setting up, planning, and facilitating the learning experience.
