Nasal examination with the speculum is a common practice in the ENT department for preliminary diagnosis for nasal conditions.
Currently, medical students practice their very first nasal examination on real patients during their clinical posting. This often cause discomfort on patients as students lack the related experience. The short duration of their clinical rounds also minimise the opportunity for them to observe a variety of cases.
Project Overview
Nasim is a simulator kit which includes nasal cavity modules based on real patients developed with 3D printing and modelling technology. Pressure sensors embedded within the nasal cavity walls are calibrated to real patients to simulate their discomfort experience, visualised through differing light intensities and a complementary application.
