Elevate your medical simulation training to create the ultimate hyper-realistic scenarios with Safeguard Medical's new SIMBODIES App. In the App, you will find a selection of pre-recorded voices for your manikin to fit a variety of interventions/scenarios. Connect with the SIMBODIES manikin Bluetooth speaker (installed in your adult male/female, child, or infant manikin), select the simulation pathway and injury – and begin training! The 'Incidental Sounds' can be played to form reactions and responses from the patient during simulated training. There is also 'Background Sound', which plays automatically on a loop until stopped; these include different breathing patterns, snoring, and vomiting. Our App also features a microphone tool that allows the operator to actively participate in the training and adapt the session storyboard in real-time. This app will be available as a free download for one year. As of June 2024 it will become a paid subscription based app.
