Abstract:
1. An auscultation training device comprising: an auscultation device having at least one ear piece, a headpiece defining a first cavity, a diaphragm at least partially enclosing said first cavity, wherein said at least on ear piece and said first cavity are in acoustic communication such that sound waves are communicated from said first cavity to said ear piece; a medical training mannequin including a means for detecting a position of said auscultation device relative to said medical training mannequin and emitting a location data signal corresponding to the relative position; a controller in electronic communication with said means for detecting the position to receive the location data signal; a database of auscultation training sound data in electronic communication with said controller, wherein said controller is operable to select and retrieve auscultation training sound data corresponding to the location data signal; a transmitter in electronic data communication with said database to receive and transmit the auscultation training sound data; at least one receiver operable to receive the auscultation training sound data from said transmitter; and a sound generating device in electronic data communication with said at least one receiver and operable to convert the auscultation training sound data into sound waves, wherein said sound generation device is disposed in said first cavity of said headpiece proximate to said diaphragm.
