Title: System for providing injection training
Inventor: RIOS GABRIELLE A
IPC: G09B23/28
Filed: 2013-10-30
Abstract: A system and method for practicing injection techniques is disclosed. The system comprises a tool 110 for injecting into an apparatus 100, and a means for detecting injection parameters which are used to determine a user accuracy rating. The training tool comprises an injection needle head (212, figure 2) and a means for emitting light. The light emitting means may include an LED (204, figure 2) and an optical fibre (207, figure 2) passing through a hollow needle head. The injectable apparatus comprises a structure configured to simulate a patient and may comprise at least one injection layer (900, 910, 920, figure 9). A number of layers may be used to simulate different tissues with the body. In use, the training tool is inserted into an injection layer of the apparatus which then causes attenuation of the emitted light (A, B, C, figure 9). A camera 120 situated within the apparatus detects the intensity and colour of the attenuated light and transmits the data to a processor (604, figure 6) which then determines injection parameters such as depth, angle and pressure of the injection. The training tool may be connected to a user display device 140 to generate a display of the injection apparatus as well as the performance parameters of a user.
