The Triage Training System (TTS) provides a simple, mobile way to dynamically manage large groups of “victims” in a mass injury simulation by providing individual instructions on how each “victim” should act based on their unique injury. The TTS also simulates life signs such as a pulse.

By day, I am a cardiovascular surgery nurse and by night I am an electronics learner and tinkerer. I decided to combine both of my loves into one project – a cardiac simulator. It is my hope that it will become a good resource for both healthcare givers as well as patients. Healthcare givers can use the cardiac simulator as an
