2025: Purchase of a baby robot that moans, coughs and complains about health
Altai State Medical University announced the purchase of high-tech simulation equipment worth ₽5,4 million to prepare students and residents for emergency medical care. Interactive dummies of a woman in labor and a newborn are able to reproduce human speech, including complaints about well-being, moans, coughs and other sounds that mimic the behavior of real patients. The tender for the supply of simulators was posted on the public procurement portal on September 4, 2025.
We are not talking about static tutorials, but about complex simulator simulators consisting of a physical model and specialized software. The equipment will allow medical students to practice complex clinical interventions in conditions as close as possible to real medical practice, but excluding risks for living patients.
The technical task provides for the creation of a realistic chest with adjustable resistance when performing compressions and a palpable pulse on the carotid artery with the correct resuscitation technique. The dummy should support cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defibrillation, pacing, intubation, electrocardiogram and various types of injections.
Interactive software turns a training dummy into an "active" patient with an extensive library of voice replicas. The simulator should reproduce typical complaints of patients: "I suffocate," "hurts in the chest," "the heart beats quickly," "someone hit me," "dizzy," "I can't move," "I feel sick," "I feel weak."
The robot's voice arsenal includes the sound effects of coughing and emetic reflex to maximize the realism of clinical situations. Phrases are provided that demonstrate the confusion and disorientation of the patient: "are you a doctor?," "I do not remember," "what happened?," "Who are you?."
The system is equipped with pre-installed clinical scenarios for modeling critical states of various etiologies. Students will be able to work out skills in heart failure, rhythm disorders, bronchial asthma, pulmonary emphysema and various types of intoxication.[1]
