Hey everyone,<p>I&#x27;m a physician who likes to code. For a while, I&#x27;ve thought it would be cool to be able to pull up a free cardiac monitor simulator in a browser for teaching purposes. Would be even better if you could somehow control a monitor window remotely using your phone to simulate a case in realtime. Some of the existing sim software is ridiculously expensive (like everything in healthcare), or requires a software download. With that in mind, I give you:<p>The Site: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;monitorsim.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;monitorsim.com</a><p>About It: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jt.netlify.app&#x2F;posts&#x2F;monitor&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jt.netlify.app&#x2F;posts&#x2F;monitor&#x2F;</a><p>Tech: * React, Firebase (for remote control), D3.js, Netlify<p>Features: * control simulated scenario remotely using phone or other browser window (uses Firebase) * supports a variety of tracings (needs more work) * embeddable plugin for blog posts - just pass a JSON object<p>Future directions: * add more waveforms (heart blocks) and finetune the existing ones * add arterial blood pressure waveform and styling<p>Collaboration&#x2F;Feedback: * Feel free to fork on github: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;th3o6a1d&#x2F;monitor" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;th3o6a1d&#x2F;monitor</a> * Hit me up on twitter for feedback: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;th3o6a1d" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;th3o6a1d</a><p>Disclaimer: * Some of the wave forms are the best approximations I can make at this time, and I&#x27;ve tried to keep them to scale. There&#x27;s plenty of room for improvement. Go easy on me!
