Developed for health care professionals, medical and nursing students who are interested in a deeper understanding of temporary cardiac pacing procedures. This independently validated app employs interactive real-time 3D exploration into Temporary Cardiac Pacing to aid learning.
All text is available in English and German.
Temporary pacing is one of the first hands-on procedures physicians and nurses perform as residents and trainees. Confidence and experience gained from simulated training can help make first procedures successful and decrease risk to patients.
This app uses rendered 3D anatomy, interactive pacing tip placement and interactive control of pacing parameters. Utilises electrophysiology simulation and on-screen live ECG signals to simulate the effect of the pacing device on the heart rhythm for realistic training. Users can perform a temporary pacing procedure and take readings with common results and use pathologies they may not have had access to previously.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES
- Understand what causes the ECG signals during a pacing procedure
- Understand how to set the pacing mode, voltage and sensitivity thresholds
- Learn best practices for temporary cardiac pacing
- Explore the 3D heart and gain spatial and temporal understanding of the pacing procedure.
BENEFITS
- Mobility. Users can access individualised simulation training on their personal devices anytime and anywhere
- Guidance. Guided tutorials aid self-learning without the need for tutoring
- Model pacing outcomes. Normal vs. pathology overlays make it easy to visually compare differences in pacing that would otherwise need to be imagined
- Deeper understanding. Real-time interactive 3D anatomy and pacing wire placement provide spatial and temporal understanding of what causes the ECG signals and helps with retention
- Realistic simulation. Real-time electrophysiology mode and on-screen pacing controls for realistic training
- Measure learning progress. Test mode allows users to complete a case and receive feedback on performance, helping with retention and identifying knowledge gaps.
