SmartSimulator
Your simulated hands-on experience
with your medical equipment
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 utilization 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 as also scan protocol optimization results 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 the latest imaging applications, while keeping your daily operations up and running. At the same time, continuous device utilization 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 utilization 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 practice and scan protocol optimization on simulated, cloud-based medical device interfaces

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”
