The Patient Monitor PC
The Patient Monitor PC can be purchased separately. The Patient
Monitor PC has a touch-display and is used to run the Patient Monitor
Application.
The Patient Monitor software emulates a real patient monitor as
found in hospitals and ambulances. During a simulation, learners can
observe and monitor changes in a patient’s clinical status via the
Patient Monitor software.
Video capture from the patient monitor display and the web-camera
can be stored for use in the Debrief Viewer.
The Patient Monitor PC must be started and remain connected
throughout the simulation, in order to record video and allow screen
capture for debrief files.
