Patient Simulators 1.0 is a novel display interface that provides an alternative means of showing real-time changes in physiological variables derived from human patient simulators. It is designed for teachers and learners of the sciences for whom showing variables on simulated clinical monitors may be less relevant. It allows import of comma separated data sets, and their display using customisable gauges and trendlines. Data from variables not normally shown on simulated patient monitors, e.g. pH, and data from variables that are not produced during the simulation but can be derived, e.g. stroke volume, can be displayed. It also allows presentation of data produced during simulation sessions carried out elsewhere without the need for proprietary simulation software. This interface may assist in wider adoption of the use of simulated data in teaching the basic science underpinning health and disease.

This study did not receive any funding

I confirm all relevant ethical guidelines have been followed, and any necessary IRB and/or ethics committee approvals have been obtained.

Yes

I confirm that all necessary patient/participant consent has been obtained and the appropriate institutional forms have been archived, and that any patient/participant/sample identifiers included were not known to anyone (e.g., hospital staff, patients or participants themselves) outside the research group so cannot be used to identify individuals.

Yes

I understand that all clinical trials and any other prospective interventional studies must be registered with an ICMJE-approved registry, such as ClinicalTrials.gov. I confirm that any such study reported in the manuscript has been registered and the trial registration ID is provided (note: if posting a prospective study registered retrospectively, please provide a statement in the trial ID field explaining why the study was not registered in advance).

Yes

I have followed all appropriate research reporting guidelines, such as any relevant EQUATOR Network research reporting checklist(s) and other pertinent material, if applicable.

Yes
