Joining Assoc. Prof. Dr. Prakob in designing and developing the perfect NurseSims Kit was Asisst. Prof. Dr. Sresuda Wongwiseskul, Dean of the Faculty of Nursing, Suan Dusit University, who provided information on nursing skills training.

The NurseSims Kit consists of a sensor-embedded model and an application. The lessons include 5 simulated tasks for students to practice, which are university in thailand

1. intramuscular injection

2. intravenous injection

3. sodium chloride injection

4. respiratory system checkup

“When nursing students practice medical procedures on the model, the sensors in the model will relay the performance to the application. The teachers can examine the practices right away or later as the information is stored on the app. It also allows the teachers to discuss the practice results with other students in the class,” Assoc.
