Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for an apparatus and method for practicing injection techniques through an injectable apparatus. The injectable apparatus may contain a camera that is configured to detect the intensity and color of light attenuated from a testing tool after it is injected into a simulated human or animal body parts. A training tool may be connected to a user display device to generate a display of the injection apparatus as well as the performance parameters of a trainee.
Claims20
A system for cosmetic or therapeutic training configured to aid in training a care provider to provide cosmetic or therapeutic injections, the system comprising:
- a testing tool having an injection needle head, the testing tool configured to emit light;
- a synthetic anatomical structure configured to receive an injection and attenuate the light emitted by the testing tool, the attenuation representative of an injection parameter;
- and
- a light detector, the light detector positioned to detect the light attenuated by the synthetic anatomical structure.
A method of injection training, the method comprising:
- providing a testing tool simulating a syringe and configured to emit light;
- providing an injection apparatus having an anatomical structure, the injection apparatus configured to provide a simulation of a testing site and configured to attenuate the light emitted by the testing tool according to a desired parameter of an injection;
- providing a light detector configured to detect the attenuated light;
- using the testing tool to inject the injection apparatus;
- and
- detecting, using the light detector, the light attenuated by the injection apparatus during the injection.
