Epicardio Heart Simulator

Developed for anyone who is interested in mastering the complexity of the electrical function of the heart. This app helps healthcare professionals and medical/nursing students gain deeper understanding of the ECG. It employs interactive real-time 3D exploration to aid learning of the cardiac rhythm.
Use Apple Pencil or a soft rubber tip pen for better interaction.

ECG is one of the most common diagnostics for Cardiology that all medical and nursing students are introduced at an early stage of their training. Confidence and experience gained from simulated training can help make first diagnosis successful and decrease risk to patients. This app uses real-time 3D anatomy and control of physiological parameters. Utilises electrophysiology simulation and live ECG signals to simulate the normal heart rhythm.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES
Understand what causes the ECG signals during normal sinus rhythm
Explore the heart in 3D and gain spatial and temporal understanding of the heart's electrophysiology in normal sinus rhythm
BENEFITS
Mobility. Users can access individualised simulation training on their personal devices anytime and anywhere
Guidance. Guided tutorials aid self-learning without the need for tutoring
Model pacing outcomes. Normal vs. pathology overlays make it easy to visually compare differences in pacing that would otherwise need to be imagined
Deeper understanding. Real-time interactive 3D anatomy and pacing wire placement provide spatial and temporal understanding of what causes the ECG signals and helps with retention
Realistic simulation. Real-time electrophysiology mode and on-screen controls for realistic training
