NRTS: A Client-Server Architecture for Supporting Education in a Neonatal Resuscitation Simulation Scenario

Stud Health Technol Inform. 2023 Oct 20:309:97-98. doi: 10.3233/SHTI230748.

Abstract

In this paper, we describe Neonatal Resuscitation Training Simulator (NRTS), an Android mobile app designed to support medical experts to input, transmit and record data during a High-Fidelity Simulation course for neonatal resuscitation. This mobile app allows one to automatically send all the recorded data from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Casale Monferrato Children's Hospital, (Italy) to a server in the cloud managed by the University of Piemonte Orientale (Italy). The medical instructor can then view statistics on simulation exercises, that may be used during the debriefing phase for the evaluation of multidisciplinary teams involved in the simulation scenarios.

Keywords: Cloud architecture; High Fidelity Simulation; Intensive Care Unit; Mobile app; Neonatal resuscitation; Simulation based training.
