Welcome to SIMventory!

SIMventory is a resource designed to provide a clear and comprehensive overview of simulation devices used in healthcare education and clinical risk reduction. This collection offers detailed fact sheet with technical information, key parameters, and reviews based on the experience of those who use them.
SIMventory serves as an intuitive guide for students, educators, and institutions, helping them navigate the everyday more and more large market of simulation tools and software to find the best fit for their training needs. It features a diverse range of simulators, from task trainers for practical skill development to virtual reality software, from screen-based simulators for surgical abilities to wearables devices for simulated patients.


The information is organized into three key categories:


  • Educational: Target audience, skills addressed, type of training, referenced disciplines, most appropriate educational setting, SIMZONE of relevance.
  • Operational: Level of fidelity, usability, type of provided feedback, need for spare parts, setup requirements, and storage sizes.
  • Costs: Device and consumable pricing for informed decision-making.

By consolidating these details in one place, SIMventory aims to streamline the selection process and support better planning for effective simulation-based education.
