The CES 2024 convention truly offers all the latest developments in technology and science, including the weirdest and most bizarre inventions humanity has recently made.
Among the top contenders for an eye-catching exhibit is Medical-X's robotic CPR dummy that can perform realistic medical emergencies and crank it up to 100.
CES 2024 Features World's Newest Realistic Patient Simulator
Adam-X, a fully featured robotic patient simulator, is equipped with a realistic skeleton, muscles, and lungs that can adjust to the medical scenario needed for emergency training.
The dummy can also physical response depending on the success of the would-be rescuer's medical actions. This includes flushing of cheeks, body shaking, pupil dilation, and extremities turning blue.
The CPR dummy cannot qualify as one of the weirdest exhibits in the convention without a few surprises.
Adam-X contains artificial pressurized blood vessels that can erupt when prompted as well as fully functioning genitalia that can excrete urine or blood when necessary.
One thing for sure, Adam-X is not for the faint of heart.
Adam-X is a Step Forward to Med Tech Training
Despite its name sounding like an adult video performer's stage persona, Adam-X is a genuine technological progress to advance medical training and simulation.
For most medical training, unresponsive medical dummies are usually used to train new medical rescuers on how to respond during emergencies.
Traditional training methods usually do not account for patients' reactions during an actual life-threatening event. There is also the downside that regular dummies have limited applications for medical training.
The robotic dummy, however, can also be hooked up to medical equipment, be injected with IV drops, and receive surgeries on different parts of the body.
While it may not replace the need for actual cadavers, Adam-X can serve medical schools for a longer period of time without the risk of decaying.
Adam-X is expected to be mostly available in hospitals and medical schools as one model can cost up to $70,000.
