"Learning Through Lifelike Experience"

Although pediatric dentistry requires practitioners to possess specialized skills for correctly and safely handling various situations involving child patients including medical emergencies, it has been difficult to provide students with appropriate live patient training experience in today’s education environment.

Pedia_Roid provides a solution: She is a 6-year-old child robot who accurately mimics the typical reactions and behaviors of a nervous child patient receiving a dental treatment. Pedia_Roid is specially designed to train dental, medical and healthcare students to develop necessary skills for treating child patients such as communication skills, facial expression monitoring skills, medical accident avoidance skills and basic life support skills. While training on a live child patient can be difficult to conduct, Pedia_Roid’s realistic training experience offers students an excellent skill-enhancing opportunity in a safe environment.
