Avkin is a manufacturer of wearable devices for use in healthcare simulations and is a consultant for standardized patient programs.Founded by a nurse educator, Avkin provides a simulation solution that combines the best of high-fidelity mannequins and the realism of standardized patients for the most authentic simulation experience possible.Avkin believes that the key to success in patient-centered care is practitioner training through realistic simulations and that human interaction is irreplaceable in healthcare education. Avkin's sensor-enabled, wearable technology uses haptic feedback to enable a new class of simulation training that teaches both the art (soft skills) and science (hard skills) required from practitioners like doctors, nurses, and first responders.
