The Right Tools for In-Situ Training
Early in his career as a simulation trainer, Dr. Schwindt encountered a recurring issue: there was no AV system that could keep up with the realities of in-situ simulation. What he needed was a mobile solution – one that offered high-quality recording, transmission, and debriefing without disrupting the clinical setting. In 2012, he pitched the idea to a small group of AV and media experts. The goal? To build a system that would meet the specific needs of in-situ training. This marked the beginning of SIMStation.
The Prototype: Born from Practice
The first prototype of the SIMStation Pro wasn’t developed in a lab – it was shaped directly in the field. Together with the SIMStation team, Dr. Schwindt tested early versions of the system during live simulation trainings across Europe. These sessions were more than test runs: they were joint learning experiences that influenced every detail of the new setup – from hardware layout to software interface. The result was a compact, high-end AV system made for real-world in-situ simulation.
The Impact: Still in Action Today
More than a decade later, the original SIMStation Pro developed for Dr. Schwindt is still in active use. With it, the SIMCharacters team has conducted hundreds of simulation trainings, recorded thousands of hours of video, and supported the skill development of countless medical professionals. Maintained and updated regularly, the system continues to support training in neonatal intensive care units and beyond – proving that the right tools can make a lasting impact.
