Published Date: 20 July 2008
A life-size mannequin which can bleed, vomit, sweat and even have a heart attack has been unveiled as the latest hi-tech training tool for health professionals.
The remote-controlled model, named iStan, has been created by the University of Portsmouth to help provide realistic training for doctors, nurses and dentists.

Costing £40,000, iStan has been designed to closely replicate a human's anatomical structure from the skeleton to the eyes, which have pupils which can dilate and contract.
