Develop an adult mannequin (or attachment for a mannequin)for 12-lead ECG training. The mannequin should be able to accurately produce a variety of ECG signals for training purposes. Students should be able to place ECG electrodes on the chest, using anatomical landmarks, while a machine records the 12-lead ECG signal.



We are currently finishing up some prototype construction for this semesters portion of our design. Due to time constraints, we decided to focus solely on an LED based lead placement design. This design uses and LED/fiber-optic combination hidden under the mannequin skin to light up the correct placement for the ECG leads.
