Development and Evaluation of a Wearable Simulator System

The use of peer physical examination (PPE) has been a long-standing tradition in clinical education across the health sciences. The use of peers as surrogate patients for teaching and learning physical examinations (PE) skills has been regarded as practical and cost effective, yet this approach is more aligned with convenience of a readily available sample of students, rather than scientifically grounded in best practices of teaching and learning. The limitations of this approach in teaching and learning physical assessment of abnormal signs of health problems are well-known, particularly ethical concerns related to student privacy (Slater,  Bryant,& Ng, 2016).
