Gaumard Scientific Announces First Installation of Robotic Patient Simulator with Conversational Speech, HAL® S5301, at Emory Nursing Learning Center
Emory Students are the First to Train on the World's Most Advanced Interdisciplinary Patient Simulator, HAL® S5301
MIAMI and DECATUR, Ga., Oct. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Gaumard Scientific Co., an industry leader in simulation technology for healthcare education and training, announced that HAL® S5301, the world's most advanced interdisciplinary patient simulator, has been installed at the Emory University Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing's new state-of-the-art simulation and learning center. This is the first commercial installation of HAL S5301, which has begun shipping to customers in the U.S.
HAL S5301 introduces several groundbreaking features including Conversational Speech enhanced by artificial intelligence*, lifelike motor movement and next-generation simulated physiology that allows HAL to simulate stroke symptoms and other medical conditions. Thus, educators can facilitate true-to-life clinical training experiences in the areas of emergency, trauma, ICU, and med-surg care with a level of fidelity never before possible.
HAL S5301's capabilities allow students to immerse themselves in realistic training scenarios that hone critical thinking skills and reinforce the transfer of these learned experiences to real-world clinical practice.
HAL S5301 is a permanent resident at the School of Nursing's Emory Nursing Learning Center, which opened to students this fall. The state-of-the-art facility has over 70,000 square feet of teaching and learning space with the capacity for deliberate practice, structured learning, feedback and debriefing, and high-stakes assessment exams. The center also offers immersive learning opportunities for licensed nurses through the Emory Nursing Experience, a partnership with Emory Healthcare. The Emory University Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing's Bachelor of Science (BSN) and Master's programs rank No. 2 in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report.
"We are thrilled to announce the first installation of HAL S5301 at the Emory University Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing. HAL S5301's breakthrough speech enhanced by AI* and its clinical capabilities surpass those of any other patient simulators on the market. HAL represents the new generation of technology that will be used to educate and empower tomorrow's nursing and medical graduates with an unprecedented level of real-world skill, confidence, and preparation," noted John Eggert, Gaumard's Executive Vice President.
James Archetto, Gaumard's Vice President of U.S. Direct Sales, added, "This first installation of HAL S5301 highlights the importance of educating nursing students on high-risk, low-frequency clinical conditions using advanced technology and sophisticated training scenarios. Emory's faculty have already begun incorporating HAL S5301 into their curriculum to provide students with the most effective learning opportunities."
The School of Nursing's HAL S5301 – known as "Emory HAL" – is already having an impact.
"Because of Emory HAL's engineering and artificial intelligence capabilities, he can process information and respond to learners much more organically during simulations," said Mena Khan, MD, CHSE, Director of Operations for the Emory School of Nursing Simulation Program. "Emory HAL instills a more dynamic and interactive layer of preparation for our learners, much like actual patients. Our students will be even better prepared for nursing care and leadership roles because of their work with Emory HAL."
