From Surgery to Virtual Reality. How first-person experience is reshaping the way clinical procedures are learned.
From pediatric neurosurgery to immersive simulation, Maxime Ross explains how clinical experience has given rise to a new approach to learning healthcare procedures—one grounded in first-person perspective, mimetic learning, and solid scientific evidence. A SIMZINE exclusive based on SIM Moove podcast interview with Maxime Ros Seeing is not enough: the limits of traditional learning RossContinue reading "Home"
Simulation technology specialist: role and skills
Simulation in healthcare is now recognized as a strategic tool for improving the quality of healthcare systems, but the role of the simulation technology specialist (STS) remains poorly defined, with wide variability in terminology and skills at the national and international level. Here, we analyze the professional profile of the STS through a narrative reviewContinue reading "Home"
Artificial Intelligence and Veterinary Simulation: the “Andrés” Chatbot
The “Andrés” chatbot, developed by the Veterinary Simulation Center at Santo Tomás University, ushers in a new era of veterinary simulation by allowing students to practice clinical anamnesis autonomously, repetitively, and without pressure. This tool converses like a real tutor, offering emotional and clinical context, which improves the structure of questions and professional communication. ItsContinue 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
