 Medical Clinical Simulation Online Software, to be presented at Cebit 2008, represents important breakthrough on healthcare sector. Hall 9 Stand E18
The innovative On-Line application MEDITECA, will have an important impact on how medical doctors are trained and evaluated, as well as it can be used as a consulting tool for protocol/process quality assurance. Another important feature of the medical simulator is that it can be integrated in e-learning platforms and in hospital management systems.
Alfa Multimedia is presenting at Cebit 2008 its new online Software for Clinical Simulation - MEDITECA. The application represents a relevant innovation that will have an important impact in the healthcare sector, and of most importance, within the medical community. Simulations are available in English, German and Spanish.
The company has been developing the clinical simulator for more than four years, and after doing intensive product tests and market research, taking into consideration opinion leaders, medical doctors and several medical societies, it has added important features to the simulator.
On-line Clinical simulation is an important breakthrough in the medical simulation field, where surgical simulators as well as mannequin simulation has been used for many years. Opposed to this typical simulators, where practising medical-manual techniques are their primary goal, clinical simulation is focused in performing the correct procedures in order to reach the right diagnosis and treatments. Clinical simulated cases are based on real ones, and they can be as complicated as users demand, ranging from simple medical cases, tailored to students, to the most complex cases, where all their medical knowledge is pushed to the limit. The Clinical Simulator Mediteca not only covers a wide range of pathologies in different clinical fields, such as rheumatology, cardiology, oncology, etc… but new content and cases can be easily integrated.
The big advantage of clinical simulation is that daily medical practice is performed on a virtual patient and with all the resources of an on-line real-like hospital. MEDITECA means very good news for the medical community and moreover, for patients, that will be more confident that their clinical case has been practiced and analysed before in the virtual world by the doctor, and not directly upon the patients in real life, with all the saving in costs, time and patient suffering that is implied in the real life practice.
Universities, Hospitals, Healthcare Administration, Medical Societies, Consulting Firms, Pharmaceutical Industry, e-learning providers, healthcare IT manufacturers and Publishers are MEDITECA´s key market segments, interested in having the best tools in order to know how doctors behave in a daily medical scenario.
The on-line software is user friendly and has taken into account the medical processes needed to reach a correct diagnosis. Users start with performing the initial treatments and procedures, then they have to go through the clinical history. Once they have gotten all the information they need from the patient, they do the physical exploration, followed by the tests that the user believes should be performed, where they can order all the image, blood or invasive tests they need. When the users get all the information, it is time for them to diagnose what happens to the patient. Once the user chooses one diagnosis, an answer is given, but not only that, MEDITECA will tell the things the user should have done and that has not been done, as well as it analyses all the steps taken by the user, such as what have been done right, and why, and what steps have been done wrong, and why they are not right.
This is just the beginning, if you are a University, you can evaluate your students based on their use of the simulator or for example, if you are a healthcare administration, you can know if users are taking the right steps and if they are following the right protocols when making diagnosis of a certain clinical case. Morevover, if you have a hospital management system in place, you can integrate simulation features in order to guide doctors in the process of reaching the correct diagnosis, etc…
Flight simulators are a very important tool for pilots, now it is the time for medical doctors to get the advantage of a medical simulator.
The application comes On-line and in CD-ROM for individual users.
