| description | Abstract This work describes an innovative simulator for clinical hyperbaric chambers that addresses critical training gaps in hyperbaric medicine. The system provides medical and technical personnel with a risk-free environment to develop essential operational skills without endangering patients or costly equipment. The simulator employs a dual-module architecture with web-based accessibility, intuitive controls for realistic chamber operation, and robust administrative capabilities. To evaluate the effectiveness of the simulator in the training process, we conducted a pilot study with clinical professionals. This study demonstrated significant improvements in procedural proficiency and emergency response capabilities, with participants showing measurable skill enhancement after simulator-based training sessions. The preliminary quantitative assessments revealed high educational value of proposed simulation software. This technological advancement represents a substantial contribution to hyperbaric medicine education, supporting both initial training and ongoing competency maintenance for clinical and technical operators in this specialized medical field. |
