Recently I got a comment from Adam Blumenberg (MD), concerning a new software called Med Sim Studio. He says he was inspired by the Vital Sign Simulator to program something similar. I would say “something much better”!
The Med Sim Studio runs on Windows and like the VSS uses a two-screen-setup, with one screen for the operator and one for the trainees. It contains most of the features you know from the VSS like heart rate, BP, rythm and so on. But unlike VSS, it is also a vast library of medical pictures, x-rays, labs, ecgs and even ultrasound videos!
To top everything you get pre-written cases like “anaphylaxis”, complete with pictures, critical actions and even a debriefing checklist!
And the best part: Everything is free to use and distribute!
I really am impressed – thank you Dr. Blumenberg! Keep up the good work!
Check out the website at https://www.medsimstudio.com/. The software is still under construction (July 2021) but you can already download and try a beta version. Go check it out!
