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 self guided

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.
