The SimPad System is an easy to use wireless tool that performs relevant medical
simulation training, including debriefing, in various user settings.With a large, intuitive
touch screen, SimPad is a “Pick up and Play” experience, delivering simulation-based

manikins, patient simulators, and task trainers as well as standardized patients.
