When we originally launched VERA a short 10 months ago, we did so with a few patient cases and only one avatar, who we colloquially referred to as VERA. Since then, the team has been hard at work adding a diverse range of avatars that now includes a range of ethnicities, ages, and genders!  As…

PCS is announcing a mini-grant opportunity for innovative simulation programs with a passion for cutting-technology (AI and Virtual Reality) and an aspiration to elevated their clinical interview training opportunities.

ALEX has always had speech up his sleeve, after all, he is a patient communication simulator, right?! Well, we’ve been working up some magic on his conversation. Come join us for a behind the scenes sneak peek into the secrets of the magician.   ALEX’s speech has been something you could customize for a while…

If you have been using patient simulators for a while, you know all about the concept of a patient scenario including several different patient states. Pretty much all high fidelity simulators allow you to define such states as a shortcut to changing a large number of patient parameters at the same time. ALEX had such…

From now on, when you’ll start a simulation you’ll notice ALEX has a capnogram monitoring EtCO2 values you can set, additional  ECG waveforms, and customizable virtual patient monitor layout. A capnogram displays the inhaled and exhaled concentration or partial pressure of CO2, and is an indirect monitor of the CO2 partial pressure in the arterial blood. ALEX does…

Full disclosure: ALEX is smart … but only as smart as we’ve made him so far. You -or your learner- may have experienced ALEX being a bit confused, or not quite understanding a more unusual or complex question. Perhaps a slightly embarrassing moment occurred when he either just responded with a puzzled “Sure” or gave…

As Healthcare Simulationists we constantly ask ourselves, where do we start improving our training for the nurses, physicians, and allied healthcare professionals of 2050 through healthcare simulation today?

Patient simulators needs both an ongoing evolution along the traditional dimensions or realism, dependability and affordability as well as a revolution to broaden the potential of simulation.

We get heaps of great questions through alex.simulaids.com’s live chat channel, so we thought we’d collect the 5 most frequently asked questions and publicly share not only the answers, but insights into why he is the way he is.

Tired of poor auscultation sounds on your full bodied simulator? Us too. The ‘puck’ stops here. 

Next week, ALEX makes his first overseas trip to Paris to attend the Society in Europe for Simulation Applied to Medicine annual congress.

Never before have these 5 things collectively been seen on a patient simulator website.

We here at PCS.AI are excited to formally announce our partnership with Simulaids.
