AbSim detects the pressure associated with the learner's palpatory efforts in real time and provides immediate feedback sufficient to improve their capacity to detect the presence or absence of critical abdominal palpatory abnormalities.
ABSIM TRAINS FOR FIVE CORE ABDOMINAL EXAMINATION MILESTONES
Milestone 1
Depth of Palpatory Examination
AbSim continually monitors the depth of the learner's palpatory efforts in real-time and provides immediate feedback sufficient to improve their capacity to detect the presence or absence of abdominal abnormalities.
Milestone 2
The thoroughness of palpatory examination
AbSim tracks the location of the learner's palpatory efforts in real-time and provides immediate feedback regarding the thoroughness of their abdominal examination.
Feedback is sufficient to improve their capacity to detect the presence or absence of abdominal abnormalities.
Milestone 3
Multiple practice opportunities with self-Selected abdominal abnormalities
AbSim provides learners practice opportunities sufficient to reliably detect and distinguish, a core set of abdominal abnormalities such as the presence of localized tenderness and/or guarding (e.g., appendicitis, cholecystitis), and/or organomegaly (e.g., splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, distended urinary bladder).
Milestone 4
Self Assessment via randomly selected abdominal abnormalities
AbSim enables learners to self-assess their evolving ability to reliably detect randomly selected abnormal abdominal findings (e.g. localized tenderness or localized tenderness and guarding over the appendix, ovaries, co-lon), and various forms of organomegaly (e.g., splenomegaly, etc.)
Milestone 5
Diagnosing Case vignettes integrated with a variety of abnormal abdominal findings.
AbSim provides learners with case vignettes integrated with a variety of abnormal abdominal findings. Practice opportunities sufficient to develop and refine the learners' evolving capacity to correctly diagnose a variety of common/important abdominal disorders.
Medicine's only fully automated, abdominal simulator!
Automatic electrical and mechanical setup - No need to manually adjust the AbSim between cases!
Designed specifically to support self-directed learning.
Enables students to easily select specific competencies and the order in which they wish to develop them.
Change from one disorder to the next in 10 - 15 seconds.
Supports multiple practice opportunities while providing immediate corrective feedback as necessary.
