Five ways the app trains the decision, not the recall
Each part of the app practises a different half of the same problem: recognising what is happening, and choosing what to do about it before help arrives.
Sim Lab
Treat the patient, not a multiple-choice question.
- Follow evolving symptoms and vital signs
- Choose investigations and treatments
- Review the consequences in a structured debrief
ECG
From rhythm recognition to full 12-lead decisions.
- Practise systematic interpretation
- Connect ECG findings to clinical context
- Make time-critical management decisions
POCUS
Interpret the image in clinical context.
- Explore probe selection and acquisition concepts
- Recognise key ultrasound findings
- Apply findings to the patient's management
Scanning competence is assessed at the bedside by a supervisor, not by an app.
Read the lung POCUS interpretation guide
Pathways
Keep time-critical guidance on the device.
- Access emergency algorithms offline
- Review medication and escalation steps
- Move from recognition to treatment faster
Night Watch
Manage a sequence of emergencies under pressure.
- Handle multiple cases during one session
- Balance urgency, resources and escalation
- Build decision-making stamina
Start free. Upgrade when you are ready.
One subscription, every feature. No tiers to compare, no trial countdown, and nothing to pay before you have worked a case yourself.

Clinical trust and governance
Clinician-authored. Transparently governed.
Dr Ezekiel Aluda Osolika — MBChB, DipPEC EM, FEBEM, MSc Preventive Cardiovascular Medicine
A qualified emergency medicine physician with direct clinical experience across shipboard, expedition, aeromedical and remote-care environments, and holder of the European Board of Emergency Medicine fellowship (FEBEM). Every case, pathway and ECG in the app is written from that practice — care delivered where escalation is delayed, resources are finite and the decision cannot wait for a specialist opinion.

- Read the Seatrade Cruise News coverage of the app
- Clinical governance: who writes it, how it is reviewed and how to report an error
Simulation and education only. The app does not give patient-specific advice and does not replace local protocols, medical direction or clinical judgement.
