Medical simulation software

Medical simulation software, also known as healthcare simulation software, is used for evaluating, educating and training in several medical departments. Healthcare simulations can take place virtually. Some simulation programmes use mannequins to enable healthcare professionals and students to gain practical knowledge, while some use imitations of a healthcare or emergency setting.

Medical simulation software allows healthcare professionals to keep pace with changing healthcare guidelines, evolving medical technologies, and standards and procedures.

Some common types of simulation include environmental management system (EMS) simulators, mannequin simulators, simulated medications, simulation recording systems, part-task simulators, computer-based virtual medical simulation, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) in medicine.
