%X the design of a neonatal monitor for medical training purposes is hereby presented. in order to do that, the following main vital signs were modeled and simulated: ecg, pulse, blood pressure, co2 level, among others. the signals were integrated to a graphic interface that generates different scenarios showing signals of patients with or without pathologies. simulated signals were validated against real ones and, in general, the error is less than 5%; in addition, the neonatal monitor was assessed by 16 specialists; those doctors stated that simulated signals are of "excellent quality", "truthful" and that the interface is "user friendly".
