Medical training on simulation devices such as Immersion Medical's VirtualIV intravenous simulator, Endoscopy AccuTouch(R) Simulator, CathLabVR surgicalsimulator, and LaparoscopyVR surgical simulation system have proven to resultin improved performance, shorter response time, and less deviation frompractice standards than training without simulators, ultimately improvingpatient safety. B-Line Medical's SimCapture solution is designed to maximizethe investment made in simulation technology by capturing and distributing allelements of the simulated encounter. SimCapture records multiple video feedsin digital format, handles annotation and debriefing, integrates with multiplesimulator types (including both VR devices and mannequins), and buildsparticipant portfolios automatically. SimCapture also manages users, providestools for scenario and checklist creation, and generates multiple types ofusage, session, and aggregate reports, all from a 100% web-based softwareinterface. SimCapture is currently in use at prominent hospitals, medicalschools, and nursing programs across the United States, Canada and Europe.
Mark Meents, VP- Sales and Marketing, Immersion Medical, said, "ImmersionMedical is pleased to partner with technology leader B-Line Medical. Theircommitment to improving the general usability and functionality of allsimulation devices is admirable. By broadening our product portfolio with theSimCapture solution, we can provide even greater value to potential clients,whether they use, virtual reality devices, mannequins or low-fidelity tasktrainers for their simulation training."
