1. A patient electronic thermodynamics simulator (PETS) system, comprising:
a simulated skin layer for simulating a thermodynamic response of a patient's skin, wherein the simulated skin layer comprises:
a mass of material, and
a plurality of heating elements, wherein the plurality of heating elements are thermally connected to the mass of material;
at least one temperature sensor disposed in the simulated skin layer;
one or more targeted temperature management (TTM) pads applied to the simulated skin layer, wherein the one or more TTM pads are,
coupled to a TTM device, and
configured to modify heat transfer from the simulated skin layer;
a control unit configured to:
obtain temperature data from the at least one temperature sensor,
adjust an amount of power supplied to one or more of the plurality of heating elements, based at least in part on the temperature data, and
simulate, using an internal body thermodynamic simulation, a core body temperature for the patient, wherein simulating the core body temperature is based at least in part on the amount of power supplied to the one or more heating elements and the temperature data; and
a simulated core temperature sensor configured to communicate information pertaining to the simulated core body temperature to the TTM device.
