Smart Airway - Adult (Dark Skin Tone)
COMING SOON!
The next evolution of TruCorp’s market leading AirSim range, Smart Airway, incorporates sensors for personalised feedback and assessment during airway management training.
What benefits does the Smart Airway app bring to airway management training?
The Smart Airway app has three different modes to aid students and teachers with their airway training sessions:
Practice Mode
- Allows students to gain knowledge in advance of classes
- Gives real-time feedback to improve technique
- Provides visuals of lung volumes
Self-direct Assessment
- Includes guided video tutorials for each skill
- Audio and text feedback on performance
- Focused learning and self-directed assessment with graded marks
Instructor-led Assessment
- Instructors can modify criteria within the scenarios and assessments based on user experience
- As well as the debriefing videos and quantitative feedback, instructors can give additional feedback
- End of assessment certificates and results summary are supplied at the end if the assessment
Overview
- Sensor-driven adult airway simulation trainer
- Key metric tracking for performance feedback
- Supports independent learning with customisable content
Realism
- Realistic adult male torso with visible chest rise and fall
- Uses CT DICOM data for anatomically correct internal features and accurate landmarks
Versatility

Can this airway trainer help students with learning beyond procedures?
Yes. With the Smart Airway app and the incorporated sensor and internal camera, trainees will get accurate readings of the procedures they perform. They’re able to see the impact of incisor force and cricoid pressure, as well as visualising the airway for a greater understanding of their actions on the human body.
Is it possible to customise the scenarios for different ability students?
The Smart Airway and its app can be customised towards specific competencies, allowing for targeted training where students need it most. Assessments on the app can be easily changed between sessions, and the manikin can also simulate tongue edema with the addition of around 20ml of air.
Is the Smart Airway suitable for independent learning?
Absolutely. The app itself has two modes, Practice and Self-Directed Assessment. Within these two modes, students can familiarise themselves with the model and app, as well as building skills and techniques through theory and video tutorials.
Through the sensors, the app is able to provide real-time feedback and visualisations of lung volumes and ventilation metrics. While the assessments give quantitative scoring and performance benchmarking, ever when studying independently
