CAE Vimedix

The most
comprehensive
and easy-to-use
ultrasound
simulator

Accelerate the ultrasound learning process in cardiac and abdominal scanning

CAE Vimedix is an innovative ultrasound training platform that makes learning cardiac, lung
and abdominal ultrasound easier and faster.
Now available as a software update, CAE Vimedix 3.1 allows flexibility for remote learning
while your simulation lab is distancing or closed. Our library of more than 200 pathologies
offers new capabilities for virtual lectures, with quick lesson building, complementary ICCU
e-Learning, and interactive, hands-on practice using a remote manikin and ultrasound probes.
With the addition of Microsoft HoloLens 2 mixed reality, we deliver a truly immersive
experience that will engage your learners while elevating their understanding of anatomy and
clinical assessment.

Differentiating Features
• Simulator content and kinematic metrics validated through numerous peer-reviewed
scientific journals
• Optional add-on modules (cardiac, lung, abdominal) that support multiple ultrasound
applications on a single common platform, with a single manikin
• Self-directed instructional content that makes ultrasound learning easily scalable
• Continuous development of new functionalities and content, including a COVID-19 case study
• 3D/4D cardiac ultrasound for advanced assessment and diagnosis
• Remote learning capabilities to livestream teach and/or learn predetermined curricula
• Ability to customize content and curriculum with custom filters and pre-sets
• Localization available to support various markets
• VimedixAR application for Microsoft HoloLens 2 allows enhanced learning
via Augmented Reality (AR)
