iSimulate

iSimulate was founded in 2011 by Peter Mckie and Anthony Lewis. Anthony was working on a solution for taking simulation training outside a simulation center and increasing the fidelity of simple manikins. Peter was working on a solution for reducing the expensive equipment cost of Advanced Life Support training courses. Anthony and Peter were independently working on their own project to improve medical simulation and realized they had come to the same solution when the taught together in an Advanced Life Support Training in Canberra. Only 6 months later, iSimulate was ready to launch the first version of the ALSi Patient Monitor and Defibrillator at the International Meeting of Simulation in Healthcare in San Diego. "We were overwhelmed with interest" says Peter, "for 3 days we did not stop demonstrating the concept we had come up with. On return to Australia, Anthony and Peter realized the concept they had come up with could not only solve their initial training problems, but revolutionize the world of healthcare simulation.
