SmartSimulator
A smarter way to train on your equipment
In the healthcare sector, system and clinical workflows are becoming increasingly complex, with advanced digital technologies and new scan capabilities. The financial demands to maximize your throughput and system utilization often limit the time a technologist has to learn a new interface or feature. So how does one develop a skilled workforce?
Technology is evolving too fast and the traditional hands-on training time at the scanner is now hard to find in the schedule. Who has time for a learning process that could take months and serves only a few employees? A better approach is required.
Overview
SmartSimulator gives your staff the ability to train and practice on a simulated version of a Siemens Healthineers medical device’s software. This simulated interface will help your team reduce ramp-up times for new equipment, features, and workflows by giving them access to train at any time. It enhances confidence in your staff by giving them extensive training opportunities to use the equipment’s software and the latest imaging applications at any time and without impacting your systems schedule and operation. In tandem, continuous device utilization and high patient throughput will help boost the performance of your department.
SmartSim helps you:
- Enhance staff confidence with hands-on experience by virtually using and operating your medical equipment before it is installed or when they don’t have access to it.
- Improve your teams’ scanning efficiency to ensure you can fully utilize your system from day one and decrease ramp-up times.
- Increase clinical capabilities and performance by giving your team the ability to train on complex scans using new innovative technology and workflows in a simulated environment.
How it works

SmartSimulator helps to address your needs
Today's Challenges in Hospitals:
- Education ‘on the job’ is often limited to times when daily operations can allow it
- Clinical capabilities are limited to expertise and capabilities of their staff
- With an increased focus on patient throughput in order to generate revenue, the equipment is not as freely available for technologists to train or practice their skills.
SmartSimulator helps you to
- gain confidence with hands-on experience by virtually using and operating your medical equipment before it is installed or when you don’t have access to it.
- 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 to enable scan practice across your whole team via cloud-based interface simulations.
Today's Challenges for Individual radiographers:
- High system utilization and scheduling limit technologists' training opportunities, hindering skill expansion and career advancement
- Increasing need to master equipment and workflows for complex scans and procedures.
- Professional development, typically gained through years of on-the-job training and shadowing skilled technologists, struggles to keep pace with rapid equipment advancements.
SmartSimulator helps you to
- enhance confidence with hands-on experience using an interactive simulated interface of your equipment and our supportive web-based training.
- improve your scanning efficiency and expertise to fully utilize the system and your capabilities from day one.
- increase your fluency and performance by practicing scans featuring new technology and complex clinical exams via a cloud-based simulator.
Today's Challenges for Medical Education Institutions:
- Radiography students experience frustration due to limited options for learning the full scope of scanner capability, functionality, and operation.
- Need more time and interaction with the equipment to get comfortable, and ready to take on their new career.
SmartSimulator helps you to
- enhance student confidence with hands-on experience by virtually using and operating medical equipment with or without the guidance of a trainer/instructor.
- improve the scanning ability and efficiency of each individual to be ready to help their future employer from day one.
- boost your academic training and reputation by giving students access to the latest innovative technology in a simulated, cloud-based medical device interfaces.
