Drug Clinical Trials > Human Simulation Can Improve Clinical Trial Design: "Simulated Patients and Clinical Trials
Computer-controlled simulated patients can improve the design of clinical trials before any real patients are even enrolled, Duke University Medical Center researchers have found. Their new finding follows an earlier Duke study that such simulated patients can improve the performance of clinical trial coordinators. Such patient simulators are basically lifelike computer-controlled mannequins that can mimic the physiological responses of living patients to procedures."
