About Simly.

An EHR simulation platform for medical schools. Instructors run live clinical scenarios. Students practice the decisions they'll face as interns. The platform captures every action for debrief and program evaluation.

What Simly is.

Simly is a web-based EHR simulation built specifically for medical education. Instructors pick a clinical scenario from the library and share a session code. Students join on any tablet. No account, no install.

In the live session, students work the case in a chart that looks and behaves like a real EHR. They search an order catalog, place labs and imaging at STAT or routine priority, interpret results (including real radiology images) as they come back, and write structured clinical notes in parallel. The instructor drives the pacing: releasing results, pushing new clinical events, pausing, and resuming.

When the session ends, Simly generates a chronological report of every action taken, with millisecond timing on each event, ready to debrief or export.

Running a session.

Pick a scenario and share a code

Sign in, open New Session, and pick a scenario from the library (trauma, pneumonia, ectopic pregnancy, sepsis). Simly generates a six-digit session code and a QR code you can project or paste into your slide. No roster, no pre-enrollment.

Students join on any tablet

Students scan the QR code or type the session code, pick a display name, and they're in. They see the patient (demographics, chief complaint, allergies, code status) alongside three tabs: patient info, orders, and results. A clinical note panel runs in parallel. No accounts, no installs, no IT ticket.

Run the case, release results, end the sim

Pending orders show up on your console as students place them. Release results one at a time or all at once. Push new clinical events such as Patient not responding to IV fluids or Primary survey complete at the decision points you care about. End the sim when the learning objective is met. The post-session report is ready immediately.

Questions about Simly.

What is Simly?

Simly is an EHR simulation platform for medical education. Instructors run live clinical scenarios (trauma, sepsis, chest pain, and similar cases) while students work the case in a chart that looks and behaves like a real electronic health record. The platform captures every order, result, and note with precise timing, producing a chronological session report that instructors use for debrief and program evaluation. Simly is simulation-only software; it does not store protected health information and is not used for real patient care.

Who is Simly for?

Simly is built for medical schools, specifically for clerkship directors, simulation directors, and course leads teaching clinical decision-making. The typical use case is a small-group simulation (one instructor, five to six students) during the pre-clerkship or early clerkship years, where students need structured practice placing orders, interpreting results, and writing notes before they reach the wards.

How does a simulation session work?

The instructor picks a scenario from the library and Simly generates a six-digit session code. Students scan a QR code or type the code on a tablet, pick a display name, and they're in. When the instructor starts the simulation, students see the patient's chief complaint and can begin placing orders, reading released results, and writing clinical notes. The instructor decides when to release lab and imaging results, pushes new clinical events such as a change in vitals or a consult update, and ends the simulation when the learning objective is met. A post-session report is available immediately.

What does the instructor see versus the student?

The instructor sees a live simulation control panel: the pending orders students have placed, a queue of pushable clinical events for the scenario, the patient banner, the elapsed simulation timer, and controls to release results, pause, resume, or end the session. Students see a three-panel patient chart: patient information (demographics, chief complaint, allergies, code status), an orders tab (with a searchable catalog, category filters, and priority selection), and a results tab. A clinical note panel runs alongside with structured templates including SOAP, H&P, SBAR, and progress notes.

Is Simly a real EHR?

No. Simly is simulation-only software. It is not a medical device, does not store protected health information, and is not connected to any real hospital or clinic system. The interface is designed to feel like a real electronic health record so that students practice the same decisions and workflows they will use in clinical settings, but no part of Simly can be used for real patient care.

What kinds of scenarios are supported?

The current scenario library covers common acute-care presentations: trauma (for example, retroperitoneal hematoma from blunt abdominal trauma), respiratory infections (community-acquired pneumonia), obstetric emergencies (ruptured ectopic pregnancy), and surgical abdomens (acute appendicitis). Each scenario includes a patient presentation, an order catalog of 28 orders spanning labs, imaging, medications, and procedures, a set of pushable clinical events, and an optional checklist of critical orders the team is expected to place. We are actively expanding the library and work with schools to build scenarios specific to their curriculum.

How do students join a session?

Students go to the Simly URL, enter the six-digit session code their instructor shares, and pick a display name for the session. No account, no email, no installation. A QR code is provided so the whole class can join from a projected code in under a minute. Each student's device connects directly to the live session and receives updates in real time.

Can I review what happened after a session ends?

Yes. When a session ends, Simly generates a post-session report with summary metrics (total orders placed, time to first order, critical order completion, average response time), a chronological timeline of every action with precise timestamps and attribution, a per-student activity breakdown, and a checklist showing which critical orders were placed and which were missed. Reports are available immediately after the session and can be exported as CSV for records or research.

Does Simly integrate with my LMS?

Not directly in v1. Simly sessions are joined by code rather than through an LMS roster, which keeps setup friction low. You do not need an enrollment list or an SSO configuration to run a simulation. For programs that need LMS workflows, the CSV export from the post-session report can be attached to assignments or uploaded to learning analytics systems. Deeper integration (LTI, SSO, gradebook passback) is on our roadmap and we prioritize it based on pilot school needs.

How do I get access for my school?

We work directly with clerkship directors, simulation directors, and course leads to pilot Simly with a small cohort, then expand. We're looking for schools that want to trial Simly and also run pilot studies for the 2026-2027 academic year. Contact us or schedule a demo, and we can talk about next steps.
