When teaching new healthcare professionals about preterm care, experienced neonatologist and SIMCharacters Founder Dr. Jens Schwindt was deeply concerned by the limited pathologies and unrealistic anatomy offered by modern day preterm simulators.
Determined to improve the outcomes of more than 15 million preterm births a year, in 2012 Jens founded SIMCharacters. Innovating beyond the limitations of high-fidelity simulator technology Paul was developed by a team of experts in the fields of neonatology, software development, mechanical engineering, Hollywood special effects design, and animatronics.
Today Paul provides next generation preterm simulator features including an anatomically correct 3D printed larynx based on real-life preterm MRI scans, physiological and pathological breathing patterns, highly realistic internal and external anatomical structures, and convincingly lifelike clinical practice features.
With Paul, SIMCharacters is taking the next step in the future of medical simulation. High fidelity was yesterday the future belongs to High Emotion Simulation. Paul was designed specifically to improve the realism and learning outcomes of your NICU team and will forever change the way neonatology trains.
High Emotion Simulation Goes Beyond the Manikin
One system that meets all of your needs

High Emotion Simulation Goes Beyond the Manikin
A New Generation of Simulation

Real Patient Monitors
- Instantly change layout screen to prefeered manufacturer with Dräger, Philips and Nellcor designs with more coming soon..
- Wirelessly change monitor parameters like parameter display, curve position and color code.

One Touch Controls
- Easily review real-time display of all preterm simulator conditions including: chest compressions, tube depth, UVC position, and motion artifacts.
- Regularly bring simulation in-situ with completely wireless control systems that are easy to transport and setup.

Perfect Workflows
- Efficiently manage Paul via real-time 3D animated interface of the patient simulator
- Quickly create scenarios by linking quicksave patient states together.
- Directly integrate Paul into the SIMStation® debriefing system, or link into your pre-existing recording platform.
And the best: Everything You Need in One Small Trolley!
Set up of the system takes just a few minutes. The system connects completely wireless and therefore enables highly realistic premature critical care training for improved learning and patient safety outcomes with 1.5 hours of battery use. No annoying cables or compressors.
Train where you work immediately!
Train where you work immediately!
