SimScope® is an electronic auscultation simulation-training stethoscope which allows students to auscultate at the anatomically-correct locations, both anteriorly and posteriorly. With RFID sensor tags woven precisely into the fabric of the BHS™, a pre-selected sound will play as soon as the SimScope® stethoscope’s chest piece is navigated onto one of anatomically correct locations on the garment. When accessing the SimScope® software, educators can pick any sound from the large Cardionics auscultation library consisting of 32 sounds, enabling their students to actively engage in a human-to-human auscultation practice and hands-on training. 

SimBP™ is a simulator used to replicate manual blood pressure measurement. It has a soft inflatable cuff which is fastened around the Standardized Patient’s arm, while the pressure meter indicates the cuff's pressure. The student uses a small, handheld air pump to realistically inflate the cuff and then slowly releases air pressure by twisting the air valve. As the pressure is released, the SimScope® stethoscope is used to listen to arterial blood flow sounds in order to determine the diastolic and systolic pressures as well as identify the Korotkoff phases.
 
SimBP™ offers individual adjustment of systolic and diastolic pressures as well as the heart rate. Measurements range between 20 and 300 mmHg and the sound volume of SimScope® stethoscope can be adjusted. 

The BHS™ garment has five integrated snaps compatible with three bipolar limb leads (lead I, II, III) and one unipolar lead (V1), hence is compatible with most real ECG monitors. It offers four different waveforms and is synchronized with heart rate and pulses for more reality. 

Some medical conditions can be a factor in determining the best place for taking the pulse. Therefore, the BHS™ offers the possibility to measure both: radial pulse using the simulated radial artery in the wrist, and the carotid pulse on the simulated carotid artery in the neck. 

All activities performed during a scenario including time stamps are trackable with the log file functionality and can be saved as a separate file for debriefing. 

Remotely activated from the SimScope® software by the instructor, the pre-recorded vocal sounds can be played into the ear buds worn by a Standardized Patient to provide clues and guidance.
