SimMon 4+

I teach medical simulation and resuscitation every week. Sometimes I just want to run a simple scenario without all the high fidelity expensive kit and wires. SimMon is perfect for this. It adds realism to your training but is very simple to use and can be taken anywhere in the hospital. Just place your iPad next to a patient actor or manikin and off you go. If you have another apple device link it with your monitor via bluetooth and you have a remote control. The technology has never failed and the candidates really enjoy having the simulated patient monitor screen. We often use it on Resuscitation Council (UK) courses and ALERT courses for deteriorating patient scenarios. If you have an iPad and teach regularly it is worth the investment.

I have downloaded this app on the recommendation of a sim fellow. It's excellent and makes simulation training far more "real" with a lo-fidelity manikin. It needs a few further tweaks, emulation of more monitors/defibs, and a CO2 number that matches the trace, the timer could go for a RR instead of confusing this with the RR. However really worth downloading and utilising as a portable simulation session with a lo-fidelity manikin.

Thank you so much for creating this app (and saving me the job of trying to create one myself)! I am a doctor involved in medical simulation. This app is a gem! It stands alone in the App Store as a medical simulation platform that is easy to use, versatile, realistic and affordable. Now I can run simulation in a ward environment with a low fidelity mannequin by with all the tools I require to make a high fidelity monitoring environment, all from the comfort of my iPhone & iPad.
All I ask is for End-tidal CO2 and anaesthetic gas monitoring as future updates! Plus the ability to make alarms occur. Pretty please!
