System for cosmetic and therapeutic training
Systems and methods are disclosed for an apparatus and method for practicing injection techniques through an injectable apparatus. The injectable apparatus may contain a camera that is configured to detect the intensity and color of light attenuated from a testing tool after it is injected into a simulated human or animal body parts. A training tool may be connected to a user display device to generate a display of the injection apparatus as well as the performance parameters of a trainee.
1. A method of injection training, the method comprising:
providing an injection apparatus configured to simulate a human face;
simulating an injection using a testing tool comprising a needle, barrel, and a plunger, wherein simulating the injection comprises:
inserting the needle into the injection apparatus; and
moving the plunger relative to the barrel;
determining a location of the needle insertion into the injection apparatus;
displaying a real-time injection path of the testing tool relative to a three-dimensional model of the human face, the three-dimensional model of the human face comprising different anatomical layers;
displaying an indication of an accuracy of the simulated injection on the three-dimensional model of the human face.
2. The method of claim 1 , further displaying the indication of the accuracy for multiple injections.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying a volume of the simulated injection.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying the animation in real-time.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying identifying information indicative of anatomical structures.
6. The method of claim 1 , displaying the location of the needle insertion on a muscle layer of the three-dimensional model of the human face.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising emitting light from a light source in the testing tool.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising detecting a characteristic of the emitted light within the injection apparatus to determine the location of needle insertion.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the characteristic of light comprises intensity, angle, dispersion, brightness, color, or duration of the light.
10. A method of injection training, the method comprising:
providing an injection apparatus configured to simulate a human face;
simulating an injection using a testing tool comprising a needle, barrel, and a plunger, wherein simulating the injection comprises:
inserting the needle into the injection apparatus; and
moving the plunger relative to the barrel;
determining a location of the needle insertion into the injection apparatus;
displaying a location of needle insertion relative to a three-dimensional model of the human face, the three-dimensional model of the human face comprising different anatomical layers;
displaying the location of needle insertion for multiple injections on the three-dimensional model of the human face in different colors.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising displaying an injection path of the simulated injection.
12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising displaying an indication of an accuracy of the simulated injection on the three-dimensional model of the human face.
13. The method of claim 12 , further displaying the indication of the accuracy for multiple injections.
14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising displaying a volume of the simulated injection.
15. The method of claim 10 , further comprising displaying identifying information indicative of anatomical structures.
16. The method of claim 10 , displaying the location of the needle insertion on a muscle layer of the three-dimensional model of the human face.
17. The method of claim 10 , further comprising emitting light from a light source in the testing tool.
18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising detecting a characteristic of the emitted light within the injection apparatus to determine the location of needle insertion.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the characteristic of light comprises intensity, angle, dispersion, brightness, color, or duration of the light.
