Installation of 500(th) simulation system
MedaPhor Group plc (AIM: MED), the global provider of advanced
ultrasound training simulators for medical professionals, announces
it has sold its 500(th) simulation system, with the installation of
a HeartWorks TTE Mobile echocardiography skills simulator at Penn
State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center's Clinical Simulation
Center.
MedaPhor's ScanTrainer and HeartWorks product ranges offer
clinicians true-to-life simulation and learning systems for the
teaching of transthoracic, transoesophageal, transabdominal and
transvaginal ultrasound skills across multiple medical
specialities. Penn State Health runs a variety of educational
programmes at its Clinical Simulation Center located on the Hershey
Medical Center campus, and prides itself on offering its annual
cohort of over 23,000 learners, the most advanced simulation
equipment.
David Rodgers, Manager at the Clinical Simulation Center,
commented: "We use a variety of simulation technologies, including
auscultation, ultrasound, and now echocardiography, within our
programmes to create more authentic patient-centred scenarios that
can immerse the learners in the experience.
The addition of the HeartWorks simulator gives us new
capabilities to merge technology with our standardised patients in
order to create a more realistic environment for our learners.
Enabling learners to interact simultaneously with the HeartWorks
technology and standardised patients adds an extra level of realism
and opens up new possibilities for them to access more complex
cases and scenarios."
Stuart Gall, CEO at MedaPhor, also commented: "We are delighted
that Penn State Health has chosen HeartWorks for its patient
centred training scenarios for echocardiography. Through our close
work with customers and leading clinicians, we are able to create
some of the most advanced and realistic simulation platforms on the
market and this 500(th) system installation demonstrates the
growing demand for these systems around the world. We look forward
to hitting more global sales milestones as we continue to enhance
and grow our product offering."
