PerSim® is designed to present a holographic representation of a patient in whatever training environment you wish. Our training specialists are happy to discuss your specific environmental needs prior to purchase. PerSim has been designed to significantly reduce the cost of innovative simulation training in several ways:

1. Our fully portable system is truly designed to be transported “anytime, anywhere.” We ship your PerSim System in a sturdy rolling Pelican case weighing less than 35 pounds when fully loaded.
2. No electrical power source or internet access is required to run your training session. Our portable system is designed to operate in its own closed network so you can take the equipment to any outdoor or indoor environment you deem suitable for your trainees.
3. To keep your PerSim System affordable, you don’t need a manikin, but you have the option to integrate one if you already have one available.
4. Periodically, you must connect your PerSim components (the HoloLens and tablet) to the internet to receive software updates from MedCognition. However, an active internet connection is not required to conduct training sessions.
5. If you wish to stream a point-of-view video stream from the HoloLens, you must have a computer with Windows 10, a Microsoft Display Adapter or a television capable of receiving a Miracast stream.

You don’t need to be a programmer to take advantage of the PerSim®. Our instructor editing module uses a drag and drop interface and a simple graphical interface to allow you to create detailed simulation scenarios.

Furthermore, we offer comprehensive, on-site training as well as a library of self-help videos. Still stuck? Our technical support technicians are available via live chat during normal business hours to help you.

We believe that high-quality simulation should be affordable.
