7 Simulation Software Use Cases in the Healthcare Industry

Nasco Healthcare

Kb Port

Kb Port provides multimedia software solutions across various industries. The Pittsburg-based technology company's core objectives are in the medical simulation space.

The company's Simplicity Solution provides medical dispensing solutions. SimEMR (Simulated Electronic Medical Record) is a web-based and interactive solution.

With MedsManager Software, SimEMR administrates medication for a patient. It also enables medical students to navigate health records.

Medical institutions or individuals use MedSkills Enterprise and MedSkills Local. It helps them learn the critical process in medication administration scenarios.

Kb Port's Programmable Patient Monitor is another simulation-based education solution. It is currently under development.

The solution would allow educators to set and save the program with specific vitals. It will help create a practical learning experience for medical students.

Oxford Medical Simulation

Simulated software in healthcare has transformed learning and training experiences for medical students.

Oxford Medical Simulation (OMS) is a virtual reality platform. It develops simulated learning and practice in a safe environment.

OMS uses VR headsets filled with realistic scenarios. That helps students understand and practice based on their skillset.

It allows educators to assess a student's performance and provide feedback.

Here are VR learning solutions offered by Oxford Medical Simulation:

• OMS Nursing a realistic nursing training via VR simulation. It helps registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and nursing students.
• OMS Medical allows customizable learning with or without a faculty member involved. The faculty member later assesses the practice to improve the students' competence.
• OMS Interprofessional enables learners to interact and communicate based on a realistic scenario. It allows students worldwide to learn from each other's experiences. It also provides insight into different medical situations.
• OMS Distance is an online distance learning program for medical students worldwide. Students can access simulation scenarios either on VR or on a screen.

International Pediatrics Simulation Society

The International Pediatrics Simulation Society is a virtual global community of medical professionals. 11 multinational pediatric medical professionals founded the Society.

Now, the membership has grown with practitioners in over 30 countries.

Simulation-based innovations and research helped develop a sustainable network of professionals. They work towards improving infant and child care.

They helped in developing pediatric simulations in Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and India.

Emergency Triage Assessment and Treatment (ETAT) course is IPSS's initiative with WHO. It educates healthcare workers to determine and identify emergency and priority cases.

IPSS works with the Malawi Ministry of Health. They aim to improve the quality of life for Malawian citizens.

Educating the Malawians on how to prevent and cure diseases with the help of medicines.

IPSS works with the Pediatric Simulation Training and Research Society of India. They aim to promote simulation-based interventions to improve pediatric care in India.

MedVision

MedVision is a Japanese company that designs and manufactures medical simulators. The company began in 2014 by EIDOS and DNAFORM with an R&D partnership with RIKEN.

MedVision combines software and hardware technologies. It provides high-quality medical simulation pieces of equipment.

They are employing more than 150 developers to help them design and invent new solutions.

Their medical simulator products include:

• • Leonardo:
    It is an adult male Human Patient Simulation. It is designed to train specialists to solve medical complications.
  • Arthur & Mia:
    These pediatric simulators help professionals deal with younger patients from the pediatric ward. Arthur represents patients between the ages of 5 & 8, and Mia represents infants.
  • AngioVision:
    Along with healthcare simulation manikins, MedVision also designs simulators for endovascular procedures. It is a software healthcare simulator with instruments that help train medical students.

MedVision has had sales operations in Asian and European markets since 2015. In 2018, it also launched direct sales in the USA market.

mentice

mentice is a healthcare simulation company. It develops software and hardware solutions for endovascular therapies.

Established in 1999, it now has 50 medical simulation patents and 30 training procedures, and 50% of the global market share.

Their simulation software helps healthcare professionals learn to adapt skills and become experts.

The simulation software helps healthcare professionals practice over 42 medical techniques. It also helped them access over 520 medical cases.

They also develop and innovate clinical simulation solutions in neurovascular and cardiovascular therapies.

mentice recently partnered with Siemens Healthineers, Corindus Vascular Robotics, Philips, and Laerdal. They developed VIST and Laerdal SimMan Vascular.

VIST enables healthcare professionals to rehearse procedures on virtual patients.

mentice's VIST simulation integrates with Laerdal's SimMan for immersive training solutions. It helps healthcare professionals deal with all patient care procedures.

MedAffinity

MedAffinity is an innovative electronic health records (EHR) company. It develops software simulation solutions to train next-generation healthcare professionals.

Certified in 2012, the company began working with Tallahassee Community College. They developed EHR software solutions for academic purposes.

MedAffinilty in 2015 collaborated with CAE Healthcare's LearningSpace. They aim to combine their simulation solutions with MedAffinity's EHR platform. It will help educate aspiring healthcare professionals with realistic training.

According to Dr. Robert Amyot, President of CAE Healthcare, "MedAffinity's dual experience in both clinical and educational environments is invaluable as it delivers exactly what both educators and learners need quickly, seamlessly, and without nonessential steps."

Including MedAffinity EHR in curriculums help learners gain applicable information. The simulation software stores real-time information from the healthcare industry.
