Abstract

Using simulators for training is an accepted practice in medical education and in advanced medical training. Creating simulators that perform the functionality required and respond to interventions in a realistic way is key. The first iteration in the design cycle of creating a hard- and software platform that will support the development of these kind of simulators is the topic of this paper. The design approach, the hard- and software choices, the hard- and software architectures and the first results of creating a baby simulator prototype will be discussed.
