AudioVisual Recording & Debriefing Systems for Healthcare Simulation

Medical Simulation A/V Recording Systems are specialized Learning Management Solutions used to display real-time clinical simulation activities to non-participating learners as well as to playback the recorded simulated learning experience for debriefing purposes. These unique learning management software systems are used for education and training purposes in healthcare simulation programs around the world. Such simulation based education (SBE) debriefing systems are now regularly robust cloud-based platforms which enable educators to stream, record, debrief, and annotate educational learning activities for mobile in-situ professionals, classroom sim lab students, and clinical research projects. Note that these Learning Management Systems for simulation audiovisual engagements, is different from AV Integrators or AV System Designers, who are usually experienced audio video hardware experts who plan, design, install, and maintain audio and video hardware equipment.
