SimLab

What SimLab does

A library of interactive patient-education simulations — a heart with adjustable plaque, a lung with an inhaler toggle, a glucose curve after a meal, a stroke clock, a tooth being filled — pulled onto the consult screen or sent to the patient’s phone. Around 140 simulations across 21 specialties, each parameterised, translated, and clinician-reviewed before it ever reaches a patient.

How you actually use it

1. 1Find the one for what you are explainingAround a hundred and forty simulations across twenty-one specialties — a heart with adjustable plaque, a lung with an inhaler toggle, a glucose curve after a meal.
2. 2Show it on the consult screenMove the parameter while the patient watches. It is the explanation you were already giving with a pen, except it moves.
3. 3Send it to their phoneIt appears on their patient portal, in the language their record says they read.
4. 4Nothing goes out un-reviewedEach simulation carries a review a named clinician set, and every one explains the body in general rather than this patient in particular — it says so on its face.

What it does not do

It does not diagnose, dose or personalise — every simulation explains the body in general and says so on its face, and nothing reaches a patient until a named clinician has reviewed it.
