Simpl - a Simulated Patient Monitor: The Medical Simulation Training App
Simpl is a free app developed by SimulationSense in the Lifestyle and Medical subcategory for Android devices. A simulated patient monitor provides a practical way to practice medical simulation training anywhere and anytime without using expensive mannequins. It lets you simulate a patient's vital signs on your tablet or phone. You can connect two or more devices to run a simulation scenario and use one device to control the vital signs and the other as a monitor. The app generates a unique device code for each simulated scenario, allowing multiple devices to join the simulation.
Simpl offers a choice of 15 different ECG rhythms, an adjustable oxygen saturation monitor, an adjustable arterial blood pressure monitor, adjustable capnography, and respiratory rate. Additionally, you can set alarm limits for vital signs, defibrillator, and pacing. It is a great learning tool for resuscitation scenarios and courses such as the Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Advanced Trauma and Life Support (ATLS) courses.
