Allows educators to convert any manikin into a high-fidelity simulator, enabling instructors to manipulate monitor results to influence care decisions. The SimVS allows instructors to incorporate monitor, defibrillator, ventilator, and fetal monitor interfaces into their simulations, which allows students to develop critical thinking skills in a highly realistic simulation setting. This platform can be used across multiple healthcare settings with simulation scenarios specifically catered to a variety of nursing, respiratory, and OB procedures.
