Simpl Patient Monitor Reviews

by Treytin

Premium is way too expensive please please lower the premium so we can pay

It is nice to have a simulator demonstrate accurate rhythms. The pulse ox and abp all work together some apps agave their own pulse no mater what so that is very realistic. Even paused for skipped beats
Alarms and sounds are realistic. Shocking and pacing as good. It would be nice to demonstrate demand vs fixed mode on pacer.
It would be awesome if you had a YouTube tutorial. I cannot get the blood pressure to change.

Also why is them ET Co2 set to only go to 15?

It is intuitive so I figured most of it out. But it would be nice if there was at least a key to say what did what.

It would also be nice if the BP was larger.

Just some suggestions for the program writers.

Otherwise this will be very useful for us. I am a nurse educator at a hospital in New York.

SimplPatientMonitor helped us add vitally-important realism to our simulation training that we could never have afforded from the large vendors of similar apps. Our students are now going to clinical and field experiences much better prepared after using Simpl to visualize dynamic patient data and waveforms in real time. Setup and use are easy and intuitive, app behavior closely mimics actual monitoring equipment, and the recent addition of pacing means we can now conduct all of our initial ALS training without ever delivering live electrical energy in the lab environment. We placed iPads running Simpl into old monitor cases and added surplus patient cables donated by our local hospital to produce incredibly realistic training monitors. SimplPatientMonitor is a real game-changer for any training program with a small budget.

Most options for sim training are quite expensive, this is a great deal! Better yet, it is very easy to connect 2 devices and remotely change the vitals. I’ve tried other options like pulse generators and more expensive paid options but this is the easiest to use.

Then rhythms are clear and display realistically, the pacer simulation is great, defibrillator is easy to set up with what change you want after. This makes sim so much more realistic.

I am not a unit educator but work in a nursing role where we do a lot of sim training with new employees. I was happy to find an app so inexpensive that I could just buy it and not have to deal with the more complicated systems the hospital has.

It has the feel of an app in development, is development proceeding? I’ve found some bugs and have a few suggestions.

I run a sim lab and teach critical care. This is amazing! We used to set up full human simulators to get all the monitoring up on the wall. This is so easy to set you can take it anywhere including the floors. Customizable to the VS you want and includes pacing and defibrillation as well. Upgrade to get unlimited vs adjustment is 99 cents. Best buck I ever spent. Our whole sim lab is looking to use this. If you do human patient simulation and medical training this is a must!

SimplPatientMonitor is great! It has very similar functions to the high end expensive apps at a fraction of the cost.

The only thing that’s missing for me is a CPR filter on the monitor to show what CPR looks like. But the EKGs available and the functions of the defib and pacer make for a very realistic simulation.

Hopefully they’ll add this function in an update!

No matter the setting, you can have as many users that I have wanted signed in. I used the output to HDMI to a TV for large demonstrations. It’s easily used to any level!

Great app! I use it all the time with my students for basic lab scenarios

Just like the title says, I am not easily impressed. I tell you what, I am beyond impressed for such a simple app. I strongly believe in the KISS method... keep it simple and don’t overthink it. SimplPatientMonitor has its con’s, but for the mere price of $9.99 what is there to complain about. It certainly beats paying a few grand for a refurbished cardiac monitor and a few hundred dollars for a rhythm generator, which I’ve done.
Background on me... EMT certified since 1997, Texas Licensed Paramedic since 1999 along an EMS education background (Instructor/Evaluator), Advanced Firefighter II and NFPA 1041 Fire Instructor I. I own and operate a training site; BLS, ACLS, PALS, and first aid courses. So, I have bought and disposed of plenty of equipment throughout the years, including cardiac monitors. I cried cause most were beyond repair or serviceability. It gets expensive, let alone carrying a whole bunch of equipment in and out training sites when not in my classroom. So, this simple app is a win - win situation. Granted, I will have to get creative for AED/Defibrillator Pads, blood pressure cuff, and other peripherals. I just might build me a fancy box for my tablet to mount it and make it look like a generic cardiac machine (there’s an idea... I called dibs and finders fee, lol).
Anyways, I like a lot and probably do some nitpicking later on to help the developer(s) make it better, if he/she will like to hear some ideas.
Thanks for reading.

***Update: Been using it quite extensively. Had an issue on March 23, 2021. Had a session going when it suddenly froze and literally shut my iPhone down. My iPad froze at the same time and was rendered useless. I managed to force reboot both and continue on my iPhone.

Great app but why does the EtCo2 only go to 15? Can this be fixed?
