LowCostSim - Medical simulation on a shoestring! 
Good evening,
I love your software vital sign simulator. I have used it for several years to teach medicine through simulation. It inspired me to create a similar software platform that will also be free. It is still in development and will not be finalized for many more months. The website is here: https://www.medsimstudio.com/
Thank you for making Vital Sign Simulator open source, I have included some of the graphics as an homage.

Florian,
An idea for you. We have used other simulators in the past by using a touch screen for the second monitor. it simply has a usb return so the screen surface is essentially a mouse. Your students can simply touch the screen and it works! No reason this would not work with your sim as well. (Of course then you would not get to tinker with canabalizing the keyboard.) We use this concept with a crash cart and have also built an EMS version into a “range” bag often used by shooting enthusiasts, by disassembling the front pocket and replacing it with heavy duty clear vinyl. The pocket was the perfect size for a 10″ tablet,which we can control remotely. The other compartments hold BP cuff, SpO2, EtCO2, temp, connectors,etc, which adds to the realism. We did have to add a small powered speaker in the bag to simulate “machine noise” as the tablet could not be heard adequately from in the pocket.
After seeing your sim I am considering a remote linkage for the video signal with usb return. Maybe bluetooth. This would let me use a 10″ monitor and control computer. Thanks for your effort!
