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.

ACCESSING THE VIDEO CONFERENCING APPLICATION
The Voice Conference Application will launch automatically when connecting to a manikin.

The Voice Conference Application can also be accessed in two other ways:

1 From an Open simulation session (Instructor Application)
