Introduction: Research has shown that although “Electronic Learning Approach” has played an important role in educational systems related to different industries and various scientific domains in the past decade and accepted by teachers and students, but it is not satisfactory in teaching Medicine domain. Refusing to use patient simulation systems in learning management system is the leading cause of this problem. The aim of this study is to evaluate the electronic learning components and strengths and weaknesses of virtual education to implement patient simulation and present a model consist of required components in order to implement patient simulation system. Methodology: In order to obtain components associated with E-learning models and various types of patient simulation systems, after carrying out a thorough search in books and accredited articles, resources analyzing and classifying procedures were accomplished in a scientific manner. Finally, Parsian model was delivered in order to implement patient simulation system. Discussion: Parsian Model provides powerful tools and techniques in three groups including: 1.software, 2. Techniques and Methods, 3. Medical Equipment, in order to implement patient simulation system in virtual education environment. It should be noted that in order to equip virtual education environment, medical informatics industry professionals can access to the tools of each group. Conclusion: The main reason of failure in the previous models of electronic learning in implementing patient simulation systems is non-referring to implementation tools which can lead to necessary results. It is anticipated that the real and achievable tools mentioned in Parsian model can implement all types of patient simulation.

Background & Objective: The primary problem of diabetics is estimating the insulin dose in a way that blood glucose level is placed within the proper physiological scope in the body. However, due to the fact that insulin drug consumption can be very risky, new technologies, especially Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS), have extensive use for blood glucose control. This study aims at examining the evolution of CDSSs for estimating insulin dose. Materials & Methods: In this review, scientific databases using a combination of sensitive keywords were searched out in articles published in accredited journals. Then, categorization and content analysis procedures were performed using scientific methods. Findings: In open loop control approach, the level of blood glucose is measured by the patient and dose of required insulin is determined by CDSSs based on Information Technologies with the inspection of a physician. However, in closed loop control approach the CDSS which is placed in Insulin pump, receives the level of blood glucose via the pump sensor and then determines the dose of required insulin. It is noteworthy that either of these approaches contains two different types. Conclusion: Though in modern society the development of open loop control systems based on Information Technologies seems more affordable and more possible, scientists are increasingly trying to make intelligent closed loop control systems with the impact of Nano equipment. Their purpose is to produce an Artificial Pancreas which can simulate natural pancreas activities to satisfy the patients' mutilation.
