Project Summary/Abstract The proposed project focuses on creating a bariatric mannequin simulator to educate healthcare students on proper techniques specific and specialized to bariatric patient care. Significance: Obesity is one of the world’s most significant and growing health problems. More than 2 in 3 adults are overweight or have obesity and obese patients have a greater likelihood of requiring clinical intervention than those who are not overweight. As such, healthcare professionals must be prepared to care for bariatric patients. Unfortunately, only a few bariatric mannequins are available in the market today and those that do exist are used primarily for patient transfer training. Our proposed work is significant and innovative because it addresses the lack of appropriately proportioned, realistic, and respectful products to train health care providers in proper techniques for bariatric patient care and does so in an engaging, hands-on manner. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that creation of a realistic bariatric mannequin system will support enhanced learning interactions and increase knowledge transfer for clinical education in addressing the care of obese and overweight patients. In the Phase I effort a prototype system was successfully developed and analyzed. The pilot results of the technology demonstrated a high degree of positivity, exceptional enthusiasm, and all Phase I metrics of success were met or exceeded. Specific Aims: In Phase II the following aims are proposed: 1) Develop a complete, production-ready system, 2) Design a comprehensive suite of course and simulation curricula for use with the system 3) Validate the system utility through human subject testing and expert evaluation of the system.

项目概要/摘要 拟议项目的重点是创建一个减肥人体模型模拟器，以教育医疗保健学生 专门针对肥胖患者护理的适当技术 意义：肥胖是世界上最严重的问题之一。 超过三分之二的成年人超重或肥胖。 与非超重患者相比，肥胖患者需要临床干预的可能性更大。 因此，医疗保健专业人员必须做好护理肥胖患者的准备，不幸的是，只有少数人。 当今市场上有减肥人体模型，现有的人体模型主要用于患者 我们提出的工作具有重要意义和创新性，因为它解决了缺乏适当的培训的问题。 比例、现实和尊重的产品，以培训医疗保健提供者正确的减肥技术 假设：我们渴望创建一个 逼真的减肥人体模型系统将支持增强学习互动并增加知识 转移临床教育以解决肥胖和超重患者的护理问题。 原型系统已成功开发并分析了该技术的试点结果。 高度的积极性、非凡的热情以及所有第一阶段的成功指标都达到或超过了。 具体目标：在第二阶段，提出以下目标：1）开发一个完整的、可投入生产的系统， 2) 设计一套用于系统的综合课程和模拟课程 3) 验证 通过人体测试和专家对系统的评估来确定系统实用性。
