A tablet becomes your vital signs monitor

Install the app on an Android tablet, place it next to the manikin and drive the vitals from your phone. No internet connection is needed during the exercise.

What the trainees see

Four quadrants readable from across the room: cardiac, respiratory, glycemia and haemorrhage. A hidden measurement shows a dash rather than a misleading value.

Raising an alarm

A cardiac, respiratory or haemorrhage alarm, or a loss of consciousness, colours the matching quadrant, shows a banner and starts the sound. The trainer can acknowledge the sound without clearing the alert from the screen.

Apply a scenario in one tap

Prepare your clinical cases once, then apply them during the session. The trainer picks the scenario on their phone and every measurement on the tablet switches at once, alarms included.

Driving it from a phone

The tablet creates its own WiFi access point. The trainer joins it from a phone and opens the control console in the browser — nothing to install.

Fully offline

The tablet creates its own WiFi network. No internet connection is required during an exercise, only for the initial enrolment.

📋

Saved scenarios

Prepare your clinical cases in advance and apply them in one tap during the session, instead of dialling each measurement in one by one.

🚨

Audible and visual alarms

Raise a cardiac, respiratory or haemorrhage alarm, or a loss of consciousness. The matching quadrant flashes and the sound can be acknowledged.

🔒

Kiosk mode

The tablet stays locked to the app, so trainees cannot leave it by accident during the exercise.

🧪
