Technical Advocate PartnershipWorking together with your engineering teams and finding efficiencies in your processes.
In the healthcare sector, system and clinical workflows are becoming increasingly complex, requiring digital technologies to develop a skilled workforce. At the same time, safeguarding utilisation of your equipment and high patient throughput are key to the financial success of your department. Given the speed at which technology evolves, traditional training methods at the scanner do not provide the flexibility for staff to gain the required hands-on experience. Therefore, the learning phase for employees stretches over a long period of time, preventing the equipment from being used to its full potential from the start. Additionally, blocking the medical device for training purposes in lower patient throughput and reimbursement rates combined with high costs due to a lack of equipment and staff availability.
Overview
SmartSimulator allows your staff to train and practice on a simulated version of a medical device from Siemens Healthineers to reduce ramp-up times for new devices, workflows, and your workforce. It enhances confidence by providing staff with extensive training possibilities using the equipment and latest imaging applications as also practicing protocol handling, while keeping your daily operations up and running. At the same time, continuous device utilisation and high patient throughput will help boost the performance of your institution.
- Enhance confidence by providing staff with hands-on experience using a virtual medical device to improve the scanning efficiency of each individual
- Increase utilisation of medical equipment and IT solutions with shorter ramp-up times for devices and employees to keep your daily operations running for higher throughput
- Boost performance at lower cost by leveraging innovative technology for better scan and protocol handling practice on simulated, cloud-based medical device interfaces

SmartSimulator helps to address your needs
Today's Challenges in Hospitals:
- Limited options for career development of radiographers
- Need for learning options for radiographers that enable growth on their timescale and at their pace, and provide a path to advance skills throughout their careers as radiographers
- Learning on the job and fitting in training only when daily operations allow it
- enhance confidence by providing staff with hands-on experience using a virtual medical device guided by an expert
- increase device utilization with shorter ramp-up times for devices and employees to keep your daily operations running
- boost performance at lower cost by leveraging innovative technology with scan practice on simulated, cloud-based medical device interfaces
Today's Challenges for Individual radiographers:
- Few options to expand skill set as a radiographer
- Need to enhance the understanding of equipment and preparation for advanced level scans or procedures
- Growth achieved through decades of on-the-job training. This essentially comprises shadowing more skilled radiographers, and opportunities for this are few and far between
- enhance confidence with hands-on experience using a virtual medical device guided by an expert
- improve your scanning efficiency so you can use your full potential from day one
- boost your performance by leveraging innovative technology with scan practice on simulated, cloud-based medical device interfaces
Today's Challenges for Medical institutions:
- Radiography students experience frustration due to limited options for learning the full scope of scanner capability and functionality
- Need for interaction with the equipment, and an understanding of the logic of protocols and testing to be prepared to start work from day one
SmartSimulator helps you to
- enhance confidence by providing students with hands-on experience using a virtual medical device guided by an expert
- improve the scanning efficiency of each individual to use their full potential from day one

Customer Voices
Explore what our customer think about Learning with SmartSimulator 1
CIM Laennec, Saint-Grégoire, France
“The installation of the go. All has been optimal. From the first day we were able to perform all the urgent examinations of the clinic (≈15) and from the second day all external and hospital patients (≈30). Before we started, the application engineer prepared around forty protocols adapted to our needs. This process allowed us to become familiar with the platform, which we did not know, very quickly and very smoothly. We quickly moved to the phase of optimizing protocols and improving image quality with the radiologists. In one week, 10 technologists were confident in using this new modality”
