Patient Safety and Simulation: what excuse do we have left for not using it?
On paper, patient safety is a universal value. Since 2019, when all 194 WHO Member States signed Resolution WHA72.6, the world has had a dedicated day, the World Patient Safety Day (WPSD), every 17 September, to remind us that avoidable harm in healthcare is unacceptable. And yet, six years later, the numbers tell a differentContinue reading "Home"

Unlocking the power of storytelling in Debriefing
Storytelling has always shaped how humans learn and connect. In simulation-based experiences it plays a crucial role too. By weaving personal, clinical, and educational narratives into structured debriefings, facilitators can engage learners, normalize challenges, and highlight key lessons. Adam Cheng and Vincent Grant explore the art of storytelling within debriefing, illustrating how it can beContinue reading "Home"
Médéric Descoins: neuroscience in simulation in Réunion
What happens when neuroscience collides with healthcare simulation? In this episode of Sim Moove, hosted by Fouad Marhar, the spotlight is on Médéric Descoins, a neuroscientist turned simulation researcher based in Réunion Island. Their dialogue moves fluidly between theory and practice: from the mechanics of neonatal resuscitation to the predictive power of the brain, fromContinue reading "Home"

Adult Male Obesity Simulation Suit
A suit to resamble the look and size of an obese patient. Also weight can be added through special pouches inside the suit [e.g. adding sand bags]
Airway management task trainer (head)
Airway management synthetic simulator, popularized due to the manufacturer's decision to release designs for 3D printing of solid manikin components
Arthro Mentor Platform
Interactive simulator, combining computer to create virtual environments for simulating real-world scenarios, and haptic devices to provide haptic feedback, for arthroscopic surgery skills acquisition. It can be equipped with a sinthetic fully articulated knee model [it can be extended/bent and be applied with Varus/Valgus], shoulder model in beach chair and lateral decubitus positions, and hip model in supine and lateral decubitus positions.
Leonardo
Adult patient simulator, designed to give realistic feel when conducting a simulation. It is an excellent and versatile simulator, as well as for its functionality, for its physiognomy and internal conformation (airways in particular).
MegaCode Kelly Advanced
It is a medium-fidelity simulator focused on ALS exercise because it fully complies with the manikin characteristics required by major certifications. The manikin is easy to maintain due to the easy retrieval of parts from the manufacturer's website.
SimShirt™
Wearable suit for auscultation, carotid and radial pulse detection, ECG, all managed wirelessly by software
