Obesity and bariatric patients are significantly underrepresented in healthcare education and training equipment, including manikins used for nursing, paramedic, and medical instruction. This gap in training products contributes to a lack of sensitivity and preparedness among healthcare staff and clinicians when dealing with obese patients.
