Simulation Tools And Resources vs InSight Platform®

Clinical simulation is being used to teach multi professional teams in a range of environments. Moving simulation from the controlled simulation suite to a range of settings including the ward and prehospital environment presents a challenge for educators who need the scenarios at their fingertips to facilitate effectively. With the ongoing development of new simulation material across the world, collating this material becomes challenging and inefficient. It is also recognised that there was previously no simple way of sharing good quality simulation educational material between educators. As mobile technology becomes ever more accessible, we present a mobile application which enables simulation material to be collated, shared and delivered from a single device - Simulation Tools And Resources (STAR).

The InSight Platform® is a comprehensive simulation technology that uses augmented reality (AR) layered with tactile and visual feedback to enable students to connect concepts to practice and develop critical decision-making skills. The InSight Platform’s mobile application allows students, educators, and administrators to add to their experience using two distinct feature sets: 1) InSight Lens allows students to explore the human body on their own personal device and observe critical anatomical structures such as the heart, lungs, and brain at a microscopic level. Students can also connect the InSight Lens to the InSight Platform®, enabling them to follow along with scenarios that are being run in the simulation lab on their individual devices. They can observe change in vitals, the effect of physical interactions, as well as other visual feedback in real-time using the app. 2) The Smart Controller, which is more educator-facing, can be used to add variability to scenarios on the fly by changing vitals, patient attributes, moulage, and a range of other features. The controller runs in sync with the InSight Platform® and provides the flexibility for educators and administrators to drive scenario changes from their own devices. Any user who has an account with the InSight Platform® automatically has access to the mobile application which is a powerful learning tool for gaining a greater visual understanding of the pathologies of the body.
