System Setup
The Laerdal Voice Conference Application
The Voice Conference Application is a tool for two-way vocal
communication through the SimMan Essential and manikin.
This function adds realism to simulation sessions by enabling
vocal interaction between learners and the “patient”.
Both manikins have a built-in loudspeaker and microphone located in
the head. When the Voice Conference Application is started on the
instructor’s computer, a voice communication channel is created to the
connected manikin.
Instructor channels, that allow voice conferences between instructors can be added.
