What’s the SP on SPs?
Robert Marchand, Director of Performance at PMHTU in Adelaide, shares insights on preparing simulated patients for training scenarios. In this conversation with anthropologist Birgitte Bruun at CAMES Copenhagen, he explains how to build character biographies, manage the boundary between actor and role, and support both professional actors and simulated participants drawing on lived experience, whileContinue reading "Home"
Simulation as a Tool for Clinical Governance: The Perspective of Institutions, Universities, and Citizens
In Padua, around the same table: the Municipality, Agenas, four Regions, a hospital medical directorate, a university and the scientific society. There was one question only: what is needed for simulation to become part of clinical governance. The answers speak of innovation, alliances and regulation of the sector. A total of 55,000 euros from theContinue reading "Home"
Chocolate on the Broccoli: How Much (and How) Play Really Helps Healthcare Simulation
In this episode of SIM Moove, Fouad Marhar welcomes Gary, a nurse anesthetist turned social psychologist and expert in game-based pedagogy, to bring clarity to the difference between game-based learning, gamification and serious games, and to work out where play genuinely strengthens learning in simulation, and where it risks undermining it. A SIMZINE exclusive basedContinue reading "Home"
Integration of Artificial Intelligence Into Extended Reality Debriefing
A recent review examines how artificial intelligence can support debriefing in extended reality healthcare simulation. From performance analytics to conversational agents, four functional roles emerge, each promising but still evolving. The review argues that hybrid debriefing, where AI organizes data and facilitators lead the reflective conversation, offers the most realistic near-term model. Ethical questions, validationContinue 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
