Simpl - Simulated Patient Monitor

Simpl Simulated Patient Monitor for realistic vital sign drills

Simpl is a free training tool from SimulationSense that turns everyday screens into a convincingly styled patient monitor for education. It is built for learners and instructors who want to rehearse clinical decision making without relying on costly mannequins. The setup is straightforward: link two or more devices, use one as the controller that adjusts physiology, and let the others display the monitored patient. Each session generates a unique device code so multiple participants can join the same scenario with minimal fuss.

The feature set targets core resuscitation skills. You get 15 ECG rhythms to switch between, plus adjustable oxygen saturation, arterial blood pressure, capnography, and respiratory rate. Alarm limits are fully configurable, letting you tailor thresholds to the case at hand. There are also defibrillator and pacing controls, which makes it simple to introduce evolving arrhythmias and the corresponding interventions, then watch how the monitored values respond.

In practice, this focus on vital signs makes Simpl well suited to structured drills such as Advanced Life Support and Advanced Trauma Life Support. A facilitator can drive the scenario in real time while a team follows the monitor, interprets trends, and applies protocols. Because multiple devices can join, it scales from one-on-one coaching to small group sessions without extra hardware.

The trade-off is scope: Simpl concentrates on realistic monitor behavior and adjustable parameters rather than broader simulation elements. For educators who want a flexible, low cost way to run repeatable cases, that focus is a strength. If your priority is guided practice with rhythm changes, oxygenation, blood pressure, and capnography alarms that you can tune to your teaching goals, this app delivers a compact and purposeful toolkit for clinical training on a tablet or phone.
