Software monitor of vital functions for a mannequin realized on tablet PC

This Study deals with a development of a virtual patient monitor for a mannequin. We have included the virtual patient simulator into the education and we have developed the application of software monitor to increase the interest of the students about the exercises. The application is developed for a PC tablet and the data of vital functions, such as heart rate, saturation of blood by oxygen, partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the arterial blood, are transferred from the simulator into the mobile patient monitor. Application is developed in LabVIEW environment and Data Dashboard application from National Instruments is used for displaying the data. Transfer of data between control computer with model and tablet is realized by Shared Variables Engine.
