AISIM 2026: Where AI Meets Simulation
AISIM 2026, the Artificial Intelligence and Simulation in Health Professions Education Congress, will take place in Trabzon, Türkiye, this early June. The conference aims to explore how artificial intelligence can improve simulation design, the quality of feedback, performance evaluation, and reflective practice, without replacing the central role of humans in education. The goal is toContinue reading "Home"
The natural metaverse of birth: mental simulation
The brain does not always distinguish between real and imagined. It is on this neuroscientific principle that the natural metaverse of birth is founded: a mental simulation tool that, through a narrating voice, immerses midwives and obstetricians in the experience of childbirth without exposing patients to risk. Accessible, scalable, at zero cost. A simple yetContinue reading "Home"
Why a Clinical Simulation Manual

However, its implementation is often associated with highlyContinue reading "Home"
Clinical Moulage: Pedagogy or Special Effects?
Clinical moulage is far more than a visual characterization technique: it is a pedagogical tool grounded in experiential, cognitive, and affective-emotional theoretical frameworks. Far removed from cinematic special effects, its value lies in pathophysiological coherence, reduction of extraneous cognitive load, and activation of clinical judgment. This article reviews the theoretical foundations of moulage, proposes fourContinue 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
