A $10k training monitor is great - but free can't be beat!
My favorite feature: You can display the same monitor on multiple devices (ie tablets) and control it from the same "remote" device (ie a phone)
The ResusMonitor™ is a free virtual monitor built by EMS educators, for EMS educators.
It simulates vitals, cardiac rhythms, capnography, and more giving your students hands-on experience during airway and patient assessment labs.
✅ No hardware needed
✅ Works on phones, tablets, laptops
✅ Controlled in real-time by the instructor
✅ 100% free to use
Whether you're running a classroom scenario or doing skills checkoffs, this tool gives you the power of high-end simulation without the high-end price tag.

"We were able to use ResusMonitor during our labs and drastically change the dynamic that our students trained in. We setup a tablet next to the hospital bed and had an instructor controlling it. We even were able to display the monitor on an overhead Tv for the rest of the class to see."
Bonus Free Tool: Lifepak® 20e Defibrillator Simulator
For programs teaching cardiac care or ACLS skills, another excellent free resource is the Lifepak simulator. Created by clinical educators at the University of Colorado, it lets students practice rhythm interpretation, defibrillation, pacing, and synchronized cardioversion—without needing a physical monitor.
What it includes:
- Interactive walkthrough of the Lifepak® 20e interface
- Guided practice for rhythms like VT, VF, and bradycardia
- Assessment cases to test recognition and response time
- 100% browser-based with no login or cost
It pairs perfectly with ResusMonitor™ by giving students both a realistic vitals monitor and a free defibrillator/therapy simulator for complete scenario training.
