The story of iStan is the story of METI — the tale of a spirit of innovation and collaboration that has no end. Take the passionate curiosity that brought patient simulation out of the dark ages of clunky task trainers. Then add the experience and sharp ideas of thousands of educators in the fields of medicine, nursing, disaster medicine, emergency response and the military. And you’ve got iStan.
At long last, here is the essential human element in patient simulation — the mannequin that moves, breathes, lives and dies so realistically and compellingly that medical education will never be the same. Developed with the United States Army, iStan is durable enough for combat and built for life. Couple that with METI’s guarantee, customer service and the Human Patient Simulation Network (HPSN) worldwide family of users, and you will know iStan is the soundest investment you can make in human patient simulation.
