The SimPad System is an easy to use wireless tool that performs relevant medical simulation training, including debriefing, in various user settings. With a large, intuitive touch screen, SimPad is a “Pick up and Play” experience, delivering simulation-based education, easily and efficiently. There are two ways to control simulations: Automatic Mode and Manual Mode. This allows customized simulations to meet specific needs. The SimPad System is compatible with a broad range of Laerdal products including manikins, patient simulators, and task trainers as well as standardized patients.
