These life-like mannequins have computerized sensors that react to any treatment that students carry on. Telling more about that it, the ExPERT Centre’s director Professor Lesley Reynolds avers:
You can hear their heartbeat and the sounds from their lungs and bowel.... they breathe oxygen, drool, secrete fluids, blink, bleed and even react to drugs injected into their bodies - they are as real as can be.
