TOE Simulator 17+

The practical training for transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) primarily depends on guidance from experienced physicians while caring for patients in a supervised environment. This creates challenges in the learning process, as opportunities for training are not readily available, while trainees often experience pressure because the time to learn is restricted by the discomfort of an awake patient. This application addresses these issues by allowing you to learn TOE at your own pace, using a high-fidelity simulated echocardiography acquisition.

The app features a user interface designed to resemble a traditional TOE control module, enabling you to gain realistic familiarity with how various controls affect the echocardiographic image. It can automatically identify 28 standard views and alerts you when they are displayed correctly. The app also offers interactive guidance to help you adjust the control settings for each view accurately. These features make this application an invaluable tool for improving your TOE skills without stress or time constraints, anytime and anywhere you can use your iPhone.

A key challenge in learning echocardiography is the complex spatial arrangement of cardiac structures, which can obscure the connection between echocardiographic imaging planes and cardiac anatomy. To overcome this, the app includes optional real-time annotations of all cardiac chambers, major vessels and valve leaflets, for any user selected orientation.

With the self-assessment feature, you can easily test your skills anytime through quick and engaging assignments. The app automatically tracks your progress, creating a continuous record of your TOE skill level. It even identifies areas for improvement and adapts the assignments accordingly, ensuring a personalized, effective learning experience.

Standard features:
• Live labelling of cardiac chambers, great vessels and valve leaflets
• Automatic recognition of 5 echocardiographic standard views
• Goto function: provides interactive instructions to guide you to 5 standard views, starting from any position of the probe

Premium features (in-app purchase):
• Access to and automatic recognition of all 28 echocardiographic standard views defined by the ASE
• Assistance mode: indicates which settings have been set correctly and which ones need to be adjusted (and how) for any selected view
• Goto function for all 28 standard views
• Self-assessment for all 28 standard view, allowing you to reach "Expert" level and higher


DISCLAIMERS

• This app does is NOT intended to provide any medical diagnoses or treatment advice whatsoever. Always seek a doctor’s advice in addition to using this app and before making any medical decisions. 

• This app is NOT able to perform a real ultrasound examination on a real patient, nor is it able to transform your device into a real ultrasound machine.

• This app uses synthetic echo images based on an artificial human heart model, with live labelling to show what structures are displayed. The 'Live' function of this app makes the heart model move by means of digital animation technology. This function is intended for illustration purposes only, and does not reproduce a clinically realistic movement of the heart wall or any of the heart valves.
