Fantastic app for a great price. Easy to use and can be controlled from second iOS device. Different wave forms available for each parameter, and prompt offline support. Well done on making a great app. Highly recommend it for anyone involved in medical/nursing education. (my kids love it too).

This is an amazing piece of software, it allowed me to do simulation for my residents without the high fidelity mannequins. […] I loved the ease of using my iPhone as a Bluetooth remote!

I teach medical simulation and resuscitation every week. Sometimes I just want to run a simple scenario without all the high fidelity expensive kit and wires. SimMon is perfect for this. It adds realism to your training but is very simple to use and can be taken anywhere in the hospital. Just place your iPad next to a patient actor or manikin and off you go. If you have another apple device link it with your monitor via bluetooth and you have a remote control. The technology has never failed and the candidates really enjoy having the simulated patient monitor screen. We often use it on Resuscitation Council (UK) courses and ALERT courses for deteriorating patient scenarios. If you have an iPad and teach regularly it is worth the investment.

Using SimMon

How do I connect the remote to the monitor?
To connect the two devices turn on WiFi or enable Bluetooth on both devices.
Start SimMon on both devices. On the device you are want to use as a remote, press "Use as remote control". Leave the other device at the main menu. Wait for a couple of seconds using WiFi and a bit longer if using Bluetooth. A list of other SimMon apps that can be controlled will appear. Press the name of your iPad.
The monitor appears with everything disabled. As the students attach monitoring equipment to the patient press, sat, blood pressure et cetera to activate the readings. When the three lead ECG leads are attached press on the waveform area left of the numerical readings to activate traces as well.
How can I use Peer-to-Peer WiFi on iOS?
Disable bluetooth on both devices and turn on WiFi. Disconnect from any connected WiFi networks using "Forget this network" in WiFi settings. On all newer devices that will allow the devices to communicate directly using peer-to-peer WiFi. If your device has a Lightning port, you are good to go.
Why are all the tachycardias rendering as NSR?
All tachycardias render as NSR below 100 bpm. Raise the heart rate to above 100 bpm.
Why can I not see other devices to remote control on Android?
Make sure that SimMon has permission to do precise location services which allows the devices to find each other for near-by networking. Make sure that location services are not disabled for the devices as a whole. If location services are disabled for the device as a whole, this will override any permission given at the application level. Looking at the permissions for the indivudual applications does not reflect the status of the devices wide permissions.
How can I make my own presets?
Creating presets is only available on an iPad.
Swipe left on presets to delete, export or rename. Swipe left the top level "My Presets" to import presets. Whatch this video to get a hang of the basics.
