Hamilton Medical unveiled a significant software update for its VenTrainer App that includes new features designed to enhance user experience and training efficiency, according to the company.

The VenTrainer App is a free mobile simulation app designed for clinicians working with mechanical ventilators in critical care and emergency medical services. It was introduced by Hamilton Medical in December 2023.

Key updates include: 

  • Multilingual support: The app is now accessible in Portuguese, Italian, Turkish, Korean, and Russian, broadening its reach and usability for a global audience. 
  • Expanded ventilation modes: New modes have been added for both active and passive patients. The SPONT, NIV‑ST modes are now available for Hamilton‑C6/C1/T1/MR1 ventilators, while the IntelliVent‑ASV mode has been added for Hamilton‑C6 ventilators (excluding Quick Wean).
  • Enhanced training tools: A new info button in the simulation menu offers a comprehensive list of shortcuts for adjusting patient conditions, providing invaluable assistance during training sessions. 
  • Improved NIV simulation: Users can now easily adjust the leakage level during NIV simulation using a convenient shortcut. 
  • Advanced time‑lapse function: The time‑lapse feature during simulations can now be quadrupled, allowing users to increase the speed from 2x to 8x and from 4x to 16x with a simple double‑click on the multiplier. 

These updates aim to provide a more versatile and user‑friendly experience for healthcare professionals utilizing the VenTrainer App. Â
