Emergency medicine team simulation
SimHALO puts you in charge of a virtual resuscitation team. You speak your orders; the team answers, acts and pushes back in real time. Afterwards you get a marked debrief.
Beta testing runs in short windows. Leave your details and we'll email you when the next one opens.
You're on the list.
We'll email you when the next beta window opens. You can install the app now. It unlocks when your window opens.

“Carlos, full set of obs please. Dan, can you draw up the drugs we talked about?”
“Drawing up now — I’ll read them back when they’re ready.”
“Before he arrives, can we run through who’s doing what?”
The app opens for beta testers during testing windows. We'll email you before each one.
Choose your phone above. iPhone testers install Apple's free TestFlight app first; the link walks you through it.

01 — How a session works
Each case runs for roughly 25 minutes. There's no menu of answers to tap: you think, you say it, the team does it.
Choose a scenario from the Sims tab and start it in Car Mode: the whole case runs by voice, hands-free.
Prepare your team and allocate roles, then take the paramedic's handover as the patient arrives, just as you would on a shift.
Speak your orders. Name the team member, say the drug and dose, ask for the result. They read back, act, and the patient responds. Escalate to the specialist on the phone when you need to.
When the case closes you get a marked debrief covering your clinical decisions, communication and leadership, with what to do differently next time.
Plus an on-call specialist on the phone (whoever the case needs) and, in the paediatric cases, a worried parent.
02 — For beta testers
Tap Give feedback on the home screen or the debrief screen and just say what happened. It's voice, like everything else.
The most useful things to tell us: anything that crashed, audio that cut out or overlapped, a mark that looks wrong, or a team member who misheard you. Say which case and roughly when.
On iPhone you can also take a screenshot and share it to TestFlight.
Every patient and case in SimHALO is fictional. Never enter or mention real patient information.
Your voice is processed so the team can understand you, and your sim transcripts and scores are stored against your account. Full details are in the privacy policy.
SimHALO is an education tool. It is not a medical device and not for real clinical decisions.

04 — FAQ
Clinicians who lead, or will lead, resuscitations: emergency registrars and consultants, critical care and senior ED nurses, and anyone who runs the room.
An emergency physician working in regional NSW, Australia, who wanted a way to practise leading a resus without needing a sim lab and a dozen colleagues.
Yes — voice is the whole point. SimHALO runs by voice in Car Mode: you speak, the team answers.
No. All patients and cases are fictional. Please don't mention real patients while you play.
During beta testing windows. We email everyone on the list before each window opens. Within a window you get one new case a day, and you can pause or leave a case and pick it up again later the same day.
No. You need an internet connection during a case, because the team's responses come from our servers.
TestFlight is Apple's official app for beta software. Install it from the App Store, then open the SimHALO beta link. Beta builds expire after 90 days and TestFlight will offer updates as we release them.
The Android beta is installed directly rather than through the Play Store, so Android asks you to allow installs from your browser. Allow it for this one install, then you can switch it off again.
The beta is free to test. Pricing after the beta, and CPD recognition, will be confirmed before launch.
