CUE SIMULATION TRAINING DEVICE

8 weeks project at Aalto University, 2025

We developed QUE, which are wearable simulation stickers providing realistic, interactive scenarios for paramedics.

This solution can be a cost-effective alternative to high-fidelity manikins. QUE allows paramedics to train on human actors, offering more flexible, space-efficient and engaging learning experiences. Unlike rigid manikins, the stickers deliver real-time feedback, skin contact and training through smart materials, sensors and an UI. This concept can improve both instructor control and scenario realism for emergency and healthcare training.

QUE can facilitate training of multiple paramedics simultaneously, enabling them to see the case from the patients point of view. How is it to be a patient in an emergency situation and communicate?

Insights

We cooperated with Lappeenranta simulation training center in Helsinki, providing insight and test of prototypes. The photos are from our visit to Oslo University Hospital to observe demonstration of mannequins.

Lets make it!

Exploring sensor technology, optimizing feedback mechanisms (visual, auditory, haptic). Testing sticker forms for comfort, usability and component layout.

My main role in the project was to sketch, develope prototypes and test UI.

Prototypes and ideas were shown and discussed early to get feedback. At the end, a presentation was held at Lappeenranta Simulation training center. This was really exciting, and they were inspired to take the project further.
