Dr Sarah Baillie is very famous in the haptics community as the creator of the “Haptic cow” which allows vet students to learn to palpate training on a pregnant virtual cow. Dr Sarah Baillie has now taken this concept one step further and together with SenseGraphics HAPI created a new simulator called the Core Skills Trainer.  The Core Skills Trainer is now being commercialised and will make it possible for students in; medicine, veterinary and dental educations to learn the core skills of palpation. To mention some of the benefits of the Core Skills trainer:

  • students are able to practice the basic skills needed to diagnose/examine using the hands.
  • skills progress is displayed.
  • possible to practice repeatedly and in own time.
  • opportunity to practice repeatedly before approaching patients.
  • built-in tutorials means no instructor is needed.
  • appealing game learning environment.
  • small work area foot print.
  • delivered as a total solution, everything is needed to get started with Core Skills training!
