LAERDAL MEDICAL, a pioneer in simulation education, has launched the SimPad – featuring an intuitive, interactive handheld touchscreen, enabling simulations to be run easily and effectively.
The SimPad System can be operated in Automatic Mode, using existing pre-designed scenarios, or in Manual Mode, allowing instructors to customise simulations, facilitating a broad range of educational experiences. In addition, the SimPad System can be used with a wireless patient monitor. The SimPad System provides a comprehensive library of physiological patient parameters, including vital signs, ECG recordings, organ and patient sounds. The Log function allows instructors to keep track of simulation outcomes, a useful tool for debriefing and assessment. SimPad’s total portability allows users to train for any situation, in any environment, bringing instructors closer to students for a more efficient and effective learning experience. Compatibility with Laerdal simulators and mannequins, both new and existing, allows institutions to integrate new technology, and revitalise their current simulation platforms. SimPad is compatible with Laerdal’s VitalSim platform, as well as non-mannequin activities such as standardised patients and task trainers.
