Manual Mode
Run “on-the-fly” for total control over all parameters or utilise Themes for a more consistent simulation experience. Themes provide a quick and easy way to change the patient’s condition with a single “tap”.
Automatic Mode
Utilise pre-programmed scenarios for a simple and effective way to run a simulation. The logged events, as well as events detected by the patient simulator, can automatically drive the scenario forward.
