The University of Texas at El Paso is transforming nursing education with new AI-powered manikins that breathe, blink, and respond like real patients.

The technology allows students to practice emergency scenarios and patient care inside UTEP’s state-of-the-art Nursing Center for Simulation. The $1.1 million project, supported by The Hospitals of Providence and Tenet Healthcare, aims to better prepare students for real hospital settings while addressing the region’s nursing shortage.
