High quality learning at budget-friendly prices with the new ‘simulation suite in a box’

We are delighted to introduce a brand new range of software and devices which transform manikins, task trainers or standardised patients into a mid-fidelity learning experience.

SimClever™’ is a portable, modular simulation system that gives trainers full control over vital signs and different medical scenarios in real-time.

This innovative system offers a cost-effective option for medical trainers and educators looking to significantly enhance teaching, without paying tens of thousands of pounds for a high-fidelity manikin.

Designed as a ‘simulation suite in a box’, the easily portable SimClever™ system can be used in almost any simulation setting, whether that’s a skills lab, simulated hospital ward, surgical theatre or community houses setting, a GP surgery or ambulance.

We only distribute products that are of the highest quality and align with our own value of ‘safety in training leads to safety in practice’ – and SimClever™ meets with that vision entirely.

We’re therefore excited to bring this unique solution to market as the sole UK distributor, whilst also being able to offer it to our customers in Europe and the Americas.

The system is modular and completely customisable with no monthly or annual subscription fee, allowing educators to pick and choose which elements they need, including:

  • Vital signs
  • Heart, lung and bowel auscultation, using recordings taken from real patients
  • Laryngoscope insertion
  • Mechanical ventilation
  • Defibrillation/AED simulation
  • Extensive library of simulated scenarios which can be edited on the fly
  • Comprehensive medical imaging and laboratory result libraries

Visit the specific bundle pages to find out exactly what’s on offer.

A cost-effective way to level up existing manikins

This ingenious solution can be paired with many different manikins or task trainers, allowing educators to easily upgrade and extend the life of their existing teaching aids, or to increase the functionality of entry level manikins.

It can also be used with standardised patients to simulate a much wider range of medical scenarios.

The modular system offers a variety of training options dependent on training requirements.

The premium Hospital Bundle

The most comprehensive package is the ASCB012 Hospital Bundle, which brings together all the available SimClever™ software and hardware elements, including control panel and patient monitor, five sizes of laryngoscope with inbuilt camera, fully customisable library of scenarios, laboratory images and results, stethoscope and location tags, lung, heart and bowel auscultation, mechanical ventilation simulator and hybrid defibrillator/AED simulator.

At the centre of the system is the Windows-based C-Panel Control Module – a hub for managing all the SimClever™ modules from one easy to use software package. This can be accessed from anywhere with a Windows PC or tablet and internet connection (not included – please check for minimum specification requirements).

Scenario modelling

By adding the C-Nario Scenario Creating Module, users can create multiple scenarios and automate essential findings for each.

The list of scenarios that can be uploaded from the included library, shared from other SimClever™ users, or created manually, is endless.

For example, the system can replicate the conditions of a geriatric patient with breathing difficulties, a child with elevated blood pressure, patients with stroke arrest, atrial fibrillation, anaphylaxis, febrile convulsion and so on.

As well as using over 40 pre-loaded simulations, trainers can add their own, or adapt settings on the fly, to further test a student’s skills or dynamically alter the system’s reactions to correct or incorrect interventions. These can also be shared into another library with other SimClever users as well as the ability to access others users’ shared scenarios.

Students can monitor vital signs on the C-Mon Patient Monitor Module which closely mimics the bedside monitors they will encounter in real-life.

The monitor displays ECG, SpO2, ETCO2, respiratory rate, body temperature, blood pressure and a variety of cardiac rhythms.

This module can also be used to access simulated laboratory results, diagnostic imaging and clinical information to help support diagnosis.

Auscultation simulation

The auscultation simulation module can be purchased as a standalone bundle – made up of the control panel, a sound library, the hybrid digital stethoscope and location markers – and is also included in the Virtual Hospital Bundle.

The database includes over 50 heart, lung and bowel sounds which were taken from real patients for lifelike audio quality, even as scenarios change.

This includes everything from healthy heart sounds of patients of all ages, right through to heart murmurs, bronchial breath sounds, pneumonia and hyperactive bowel.

The many benefits of the SimClever™ system

Affordability: The real beauty of this simulation suite in a box is it opens up the possibility of richer training experiences for even the most modest of budgets. The Virtual Hospital Bundle is around a sixth of the cost of the average high-fidelity manikin, while the Auscultation Bundle offers an effective, budget friendly solution.

Budget-friendly: Its modular design means educators can customise it to suit their training needs and their budgets, adding further modules and functions over time.

Flexibility: It’s incredibly flexible, and can be used with both standardised patients and manikins of any type to significantly enhance the simulation experience of either.

Training more students: Even where educational settings do have high-fidelity manikins, this could be used to support the training of more students when the manikin is in use.

Easily portable: The software and devices can be packed up in one box and transported with ease around a hospital, or for simulations outside the traditional learning environment.

Set up in an instant: All the SimClever™ modules can be set up quickly and easily, almost anywhere. Teaching staff can easily switch between scenarios for a seamless learning experience.

No subscriptions: Unlike many software applications, there is no monthly or annual subscription for SimClever™ software. Purchase what is needed and add more over time as required.

Training and support from Adam,Rouilly: We have worked closely with SimClever™ to bring this product to the Adam,Rouilly catalogue, including extensive training. It means our experts are on-hand to help with training, set-up and any ongoing support required by our customers.

Reuse, refurbish, respect

The items we make and sell already have to meet high standards of quality, realism and durability, but we want to do more. So we actively consider how the life of a product can be extended even further, whether that’s by repurposing it, repairing it or including replaceable parts and refills.

In line with this ethos, the SimClever™ system can be used to extend the life of even the oldest, most low-fidelity manikins.

We also respect your budgets and want to help stretch those further to ensure as many students as possible have access to the best medical training and education through high quality, cost-effective teaching aids.

The SimClever™ system offers a more realistic learning experience within realistic budgets.
