About

NeoRate

Features
Read full description

NeoRate is a newborn resuscitation training App for healthcare professionals to use during simulated training. It provides novel timers: 1. Visual timer to improve the accuracy of heart assessment, and the time taken to do this. 2. A 2s metronome timer for 3:1 cardiac compressions during simulation. 3. A vital signs timer to estimate common physiological rates. There are training zones and videos with descriptions on how to use the App and compare your technique with commonly used techniques during simulation allowing the user to see which method works best for them. During simulations with over 150 newborn healthcare professionals the timers have demonstrated more accurate heart rate assessment, faster assessment times and more compliant 3:1 CPR. No additional equipment is required and the App can be used during simulations to explore if it works for you. NeoRate is free to use and was supported by the University of Nottingham, Surepulse and Chiesi Foundation during the development. We welcome feedback at neorateapp@gmail.com

Simulation is the foundation of high quality medical education. I made this app so that sim could be freely available to all, without breaking the bank. Any device can be the controller or the monitor. Use the same login, or share a session, and the vitals update straight away. Beeps included! The control panel allows you to manipulate the scenario to suit your needs: - Adjust HR, BP, CO2, RR, BIS reading - Trigger cardiac arrest - Adjust the cardiac rhythm - Run through pre-build scenarios which automatically adjust the vitals - Talking points for discussion and Links to resources for further discussion Terms and Conditions: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
