Abstract
The simulation based on mannequins for medical education has been used for a few decades and has given favorable results in the comprehensive development of students in the area of Health Care Sciences, in this article an investigation is made about the benefits of this technique and a way to improve it, to reach it a high fidelity simulator with a torso dummy was developed for teaching cardiopulmonary auscultation. The proposed functional prototype was developed using an Internet of Things approach in which a mannequin torso is controlled through a mobile application for the reproduction of heart and lung sounds from forty different pathologies, the brain of the simulator is a micro-controller that stores the sounds and has the server functionality for the connection with the mobile application through WiFi. The resulting product is a high fidelity simulator with low cost, usable and accessible for students and institutions.
