VenTheSi – Ventilation Therapy Simulator

Intensive care ventilation therapy is characterized by a high degree of individuality. Adequate training in the handling of a variety of clinical scenarios is therefore indispensable. With the help of a novel, digital learning environment for medical training, teaching can be further developed in an individual and praxis-relevant way. The basis for this learning platform is formed by mathematical patient models, which allow the simulation of a wide range of patients and pathologies in complex clinical ventilation situations. The learning of live-saving therapy decisions is promoted by embedding the training app in a holistic teaching concept with automated evaluation.

For this purpose, a web application has been developed at the Institute for Electrical Engineering in Medicine, which extends existing mathematical patient models with a user interface to make virtual ventilation training accessible to medical professionals, students, and all interested stakeholders.

Project Partner

The implementation of the web application user interface was carried out by EXORD.
