SimCapture works on the move. EMS teams are no longer limited to their simulation center setup. Record simulations in ambulances, outdoor settings, or training centers using mobile devices – even in environments with no connectivity.
Running simulations from a digital interface makes them higher quality, consistent, and objective - giving learners the deliberate practice and structured feedback they need to build competence.
SimCapture helps teams practice working together under pressure. It highlights communication gaps and shows how well protocols are followed- leading to better outcomes in real emergencies.
Expose teams to time-critical, high-acuity scenarios that build clinical skills, decision-making, and teamwork. Instructors can annotate key moments in SimCapture to enrich debriefings and reinforce learning objectives.
Mobile devices and digital checklists support team-based, self-guided learning by allowing learners to assess each other. This expands practice opportunities and frees instructors to focus on more complex or advanced scenarios.
Measure individual and team performance against local or national standards. Upload results instantly, evaluate competencies over time, and support documentation needs for certification and ongoing professional development.
"They [EMS students] have one perception of how an event went when they were live in it, but when they go back and watch the video, they say, 'I see now.'"
