SimX developed the Virtual Manikin™ Series to give educators case creation capabilities beyond what fixed, pre-built scenarios allow. Educators select patient avatars, environments, and scenario outcomes to build unique simulated patient encounters with one customizable tool.
Watch How It WorksIn a VR scenario, educators assess as learners engage with a lifelike patient in a realistic setting. In real time, simulation moderators adjust the scenario to meet learner needs. With the Virtual Manikin™, moderators customize and control:
Instantly toggle between prebuilt patient states, or adjust ultrasound results and ongoing patient status. Save these choices as your own custom patient states and quickly launch them when appropriate.
With the SimX Virtual Manikin™ Series, educators build and reuse patient encounters tailored to their own curriculum, without rebuilding a scenario from scratch each time.
The SimX Virtual Manikin™ Series lets you choose between different patients, diagnoses, and treatment options, all in one system that takes less than 5 minutes to launch.
With the SimX Virtual Manikin™ Series, training is no longer a static, rigid experience but an engaging, immersive encounter with realistic tools, environments, and patient interactions. Unlike traditional manikins, the Virtual Manikin™ can respond to and interact with learners, helping them build and retain clinical skills and judgment.
VR training requires less maintenance, equipment, and manpower than traditional simulation training.
You no longer need to fill a sim room with monitors, defibrillators, medications, medical tools, ventilators, ultrasound machines, or costly manikins. All of that fits into one virtual patient encounter, controlled with the click of a button.

Two Virtual Manikin™ scenarios are currently available in the U.S. and Europe: one focused on pediatric pathologies and the other on adults with chest-pain-related complaints. More Virtual Manikin™ subtypes are in development and will be added to the SimX Marketplace as they’re finalized, tested, and integrated into the Series.
“Students appreciated the hands-on approach, which allowed them to independently connect concepts. This active participation built confidence in their clinical knowledge, critical thinking, and judgment. The experience also helped faculty identify skill gaps, like SBAR and provider interactions, that aren’t visible during traditional clinical rotations where students don’t make actual calls.”
“It’s a much quicker process than actually having to grab our crash carts, turn on our manikins, moulage them, and get set up. It does cut down quite a bit on the amount of time it takes for us to get between different types of scenarios.”
“SimX has a great team of professionals who a lot of them have medical backgrounds, so it’s easy to talk with them on using similar language. They understand my field and my profession so that they can help build a robust case.”
“From a cost efficiency perspective, VR is a game changer to me because it is so much more cost effective for universities to use, even just from the amount of space that you need.”
“VR is real time, and that makes it very effective for our students and the fact that our patients in VR can talk back to the students.”
“And what we’ve done is invited caregivers to practice together, and it’s more than just interprofessional education, but it’s intersite, interstate, intercountry practice where we’re providing care in the same ways and really learning how to speak the same language, and virtual reality has made that all possible.”
“Learners themselves come into it or at least have come into it with a healthy dose of skepticism and after the fact have kind of unanimously said this was, you know, incredible…”
“Students have been so much more successful and really given us fantastic feedback and they want to keep seeing SimX come along.”
“At University of Delaware, using SimX has really helped us with critical thinking and clinical decision making with our students.”
“I’ve noted from working with SimX that it’s very user-friendly. You guys have been great. Anytime we’ve reach out, you’re very quick to respond, very helpful in answering questions. And also it adds diversity to our simulation environment.”
“I will tell them it’s the intuitive system. Like once you’re using it, it’s very intuitive to navigate through it. And then also very user friendly. So even if you haven’t done simulation with VR in the past, this is a system that is pretty intuitive and you can use it as you go.”
“VR creates a near real-world, rapid-fire response scenario where students learn to think on their feet and perform under pressure. Through repeated practice, VR is also shown to reinforce essential skills such as critical thinking, conflict management and perspective taking”
“Its virtual reality is also excellent for team dynamics. Someone has to step up as the leader and they can see the other avatars in the room, but they can also hear their actual voices.”
