A simulation program to explain and teach pharmacokinetic behaviour of Intravenous Anaesthetics and other drugs. Its purpose is education at the point of care. Where applicable the effect on the BIS is displayed. Copy paste between simulations now available. There are a number of intravenous drugs that come with the application but you can also access a central database and download other drug records for off-line use. Interaction between Propofol and opioids is implemented. An exceptional feature is the IVassist mode that will calculate a manual dosing scheme to obtain and change a target blood or effect site concentration with adjustable precision. This will allow to show an example of a TCI like administration of drugs and Pk models that are not yet available in TCI systems and evaluate that model. Simulation data can be exported to your favourite spreadsheet for later analysis.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: BASIC at Free against TivatrainerX's $16.99. BASIC also leads on rating (1.8 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 8 months). TivatrainerX's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

BASIC holds the better App Store score, 1.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BASIC has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 0% and 0% positive.
TivatrainerX ships an update every 8 months, BASIC every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 31, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
