Department of Nursing Graduate School of Medicine Nagoya University
Physiko is more than just one simulated patient Physiko is designed to simulate physical assessment situations for health care trainees. Twelve preset cases simulate typical complaints to provide practical experience in abnormal findings
FEATURES
Physiko's Three Modes
Skills Training:
Physiko allows individual assessment skills training
Patient Cases:
Physiko's 12 preset patient scenarios cover typical complaints such as thoracic pain and breathing difficulty
Patient Cases Editor:
Users can create new simulated patients by selecting from the built-in options

SKILLS
Pupillary reflex:
Normal / Pupillary dilation / Pupillary construction / Bilateral asymmetry
Blood pressure:
Arbitrary-setup
| During cuff application for BP measurement, if "The cuff is not appropriately applied" message appears
Auscultation of heart sounds:
S2 split (-) / S2 split (+) / S3 gallop / S4 gallop / S3 and S4 gallop / Innocent murmur / Aortic stenosis / Mitral regurgitation / Mitral stenosis / Aortic regurgitation / Sinus tachycardia / Sinus bradycardia / Atrial fibrillation / Arterial flutter / Premature ventricular contraction (single) / Ventricular flutter / Ventricular fibrillation / Sound volume adjuster
| If you put your cursor on the sound wave, it will be changed to stethoscope icon. Make a sound from speakers in PC by clicking that icon
| Each volume for Heart sound can be adjusted
Auscultation of lung sounds:
Normal / Weak in the left lung / Absent in the right lung / Bronchial breathing / Coarse crackles / Fine crackles / Wheezes / Rhonchi
| Each volume for Lung sound can be adjusted
| You can change to anterior or posterior
| If you put your cursor on the sound wave, it will be changed to stethoscope icon. Make a sound from speakers in PC by clicking that icon
Auscultation of bowel sounds:
Normal / Increase / Decrease / Subileus / Ileus
ECG simulation:
Normal / Atrial fibrillation / Atrial flutter / Premature ventricular contraction / Ventricular tachycardia / Ventricular flutter / Ventricular fibrillation / Myocardial infarction (acute stage) / Myocardial infarction (subacute stage) / Myocardial infarction (chronic stage)
In ECG pasient screen, you can choose ECG wave by clicking ECG display
Interview / Communication
With the microphone which comes with the set, Physiko can be used for communication
