About this app

Excellent learning tool for doctors, medical students, nurses and paramedics/EMS.

Undertake realistic medical simulation training without the need for expensive/high-fidelity mannequins.

Perfect revision aid for life support courses, OSCE exam preparation or ad hoc teaching.

Verbally create a scenario as simple or as complex as the teacher wishes. If the student has a 2nd device, connect via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and the 2nd device becomes a realistic monitor.

If the student initiates appropriate management for the simulated patient, the teacher can improve the patient’s vital signs. If not... the patient can deteriorate and eventually suffer cardiac arrest.

The teacher can alter multiple patient parameters as the scenario evolves:

- ECG
- BP
- Arterial Line
- SpO2
- Resp Rate
- Temperature
- Fingerprick Glucose
- Capnography (once intubated)
- End-Tidal CO2
- Lab results - Haematology/Biochemistry/Blood gases

Change ECG rhythms instantly or via defibrillation/CPR cycle.

Choose from an extensive list of ECG rhythms (upgrade required to access advanced waveforms)
•Normal Sinus Rhythm
•VF
•VT
•Asystole
•Various AV conduction defects
•AF
•AF with digoxin effect
•Torsades de Pointes
•Atrial Flutter
•Flutter Pause
•Bigeminy
•Electrical Alternans
•Mild / Severe hyperkalaemia
•Junctional Escape
•Long QT
•Multiple Ectopics
•Pacemaker with and without capture
•Pre-Excited AF
•ST elevation / depression
•SVT
•Wolf Parkinson White

Once intubated, multiple capnography options are available (upgrade required to access advanced waveforms)
•Normal Breathing
•Rebreathing
•Obstructive Breathing
•Apnoea
•Breathing System Disconnection
•Malignant Hyperpyrexia
•Inadequate Paralysis
•Acute Loss of Cardiac Output

Ratings and reviews

Really good app, a lot of customisation that you can do to lungs and vital signs. Even though the monitor and ventilator are generic / made up they act surprisingly realistic. It needs a deliberate press to set changes into the machine. Really good learning tool thanks.

tried everything to get two devices to interact. two android, two ios, different wifi networks, bluetooth on/off etc. no chance. if it doesnt work out of the box in the trial period i won't bother emailing support - doesn't bode well for the product. especially considering the cost.

First thing that hits you is the blood pressure wave is unrealistic as it starts rising before the qrs complex occurs (impossible). Might fool those not used to working with real live patients I guess. Decent app but seems very expensive.
