Gwen the Down Syndrome Manikin:
Background: Lifecast's "Gwen" manikin is the world's first child manikin with Down syndrome. It was created based on 3D scans and casts of a real 7-year-old girl named Gwen living in the UK.
Purpose: This manikin aims to improve healthcare professionals' training and understanding of the specific medical complexities and needs of individuals with Down syndrome. It allows for simulation of various scenarios, including:
-
Assessing pain and discomfort.
-
Administering medication.
-
Communicating effectively and sensitively.
-
Practicing procedures adapted for specific anatomical features.
The Gwen manikin has been widely praised for its groundbreaking approach to inclusive medical training and raising awareness about Down syndrome.

What is a public database?
A public database is a collection of data accessible to the general public. It is characterized by timestamps for each data entry and has a self-sustaining mechanism for growth via public or community inputs.
It can contain a range of information, such as records, data, lists, statistics, and more.
Public databases are typically maintained by government agencies, research institutions, or non-profit organizations to make useful information available to anyone who needs it. These databases can be accessed through various means, such as websites, online portals, or public-access links.
A community database allows users to contribute listings and keep them up-to-date.
This is the access page to the first and only public database for healthcare simulation professionals worldwide, courtesy of Healthcare Simulation Middle East. - a US 501(C)(3) non-profit organization.
DATABASE CHARACTERISTICS
A listing of vendors, consultants, podcasts, competency instruments, best practice standards, and more for the global community.
A listing of distributors in the Middle East for international vendors and the regional community.
Easy public-access forms to enrich and keep the database up-to-date.
24/7 access as an anonymous user without having to log in.
No tracking of browsing history or heat map monitoring.
QR codes for a mobile-first experience.
NO TRACKING IN THE VENDOR DATABASE
The public database builds upon the legacy of non-profit service to the regional and global community of healthcare simulation professionals. As a conscious decision, the vendor database has no shortcodes or trackers to monitor your usage pattern or purchase intent. The idea is to let sim centers worldwide find vendors in a safe space. And make vendors discoverable in the Middle East, many of whom may not have regional distributors pitching for them.
BENEFITS
Program directors and sim center managers can use the competency instruments, standards, and podcast database items to onboard volunteers and staff. Access the vendor and consultant database to build budgets and make informed decisions. The database helps novice educators, center coordinators, and technicians get a 360-degree view of the healthcare simulation landscape and hit the ground running.
BE THE COMMUNITY
As a simulationist, you can enrich data and transform the public database into a community achievement.
In the first phase, the public database is a viewable resource. Public Database 2.0 will incorporate export and download of .csv files for logged-in members.
