Strategic Partnership:
‍SIMStation and Simuhealth

SIMStation, a global provider of healthcare simulation technology, and Simuhealth, a leading healthcare simulation operations platform, announced a strategic technology partnership. Strategic technology partnership combines simulation delivery and operations to elevate program efficiency and standardize healthcare training. The collaboration brings together two complementary areas of expertise with the shared goal of reducing disconnected processes and supporting a more seamless approach to managing and delivering healthcare simulation. This HealthySimulation.com article by Steven Matthews, SIMStation CEO, explores how the SIMStation and Simuhealth collaboration benefits the healthcare simulation community.

Strategic partnership

Healthcare simulation centers often depend on multiple systems to plan programs, coordinate participants and resources, conduct simulation sessions, assess performance, and report results. The partnership between SIMStation and Simuhealth responds to growing market demand for greater connectivity across these workflows.

Simuhealth provides the operational infrastructure used to plan and run healthcare simulation programs, including scheduling, participant and faculty coordination, staff and equipment management, attendance tracking, and operational reporting. As a comprehensive system of record, Simuhealth can be deployed across multi-site programs and regional networks, providing system-wide visibility and the analytics needed to demonstrate ROI and support accreditation.

SIMStation provides the technology ecosystem through which clinical simulations and structured assessments are prepared, delivered, observed, recorded, assessed, and debriefed. Building on more than 13 years of experience in audiovisual recording and debriefing, SIMStation has developed into a comprehensive ecosystem encompassing simulation center workflows, OSCEs and other structured assessments, event planning, checklists, reporting, and continuously expanding AI-supported capabilities.

“SIMStation has evolved from an audiovisual recording and debriefing specialist into a comprehensive ecosystem for simulation, assessment, and intelligent workflows,”
- said
Steven Matthews, CEO of SIMStation.

"Partnering with
Simuhealth allows us to connect that ecosystem with the wider operational environment of a simulation program and build toward a more seamless future for healthcare simulation.”

"Simulation is the future of training for the world's most important workforce, yet it is being held back by disconnected systems and manual coordination,"
- said
Matthew Housser, CEO and co-founder of Simuhealth.

"By joining forces with
SIMStation, we are connecting program operations with the technology used to run, assess, and continuously improve simulation training. This partnership creates a strong foundation for more connected workflows, better data sharing, and a more seamless experience for educators and operators."

The partnership is aimed at healthcare simulation program leaders, educators, operations specialists, and technical teams across hospitals, universities, nursing schools, academic simulation centers, and multi-site healthcare systems. By combining SIMStation’s expertise in running clinical simulation and assessment workflows with Simuhealth’s focus on program and center operations, the companies aim to help simulation professionals spend less time coordinating disconnected systems and more time delivering high-quality education and training.

Why connected simulation workflows matter?

As healthcare simulation programs grow, the administrative workload behind each session grows with them. Healthcare educators and operations specialists often enter the same information into several platforms, reconcile schedules by hand, and gather data from separate sources when preparing accreditation reports or budget requests. These repeated tasks take time away from the clinical scenario design, facilitation, and debriefing, which are the activities that most directly shape learner outcomes.

A more connected approach can also strengthen healthcare simulation program quality. When operational records and performance data come together, healthcare simulation leaders get a clearer picture of how resources are used, where learners need more support, and which programs deliver the most value. That visibility supports evidence-based decisions about staffing, equipment purchases, and curriculum priorities. For multi-site systems in particular, consistent workflows help standardize training across locations so that every learner receives a comparable, high-quality experience no matter where the education takes place.

About SIMStation

SIMStation provides a comprehensive technology ecosystem for healthcare simulation and structured medical assessment. Its solutions combine intuitive software, professional audiovisual infrastructure, simulation management, recording and debriefing, OSCE workflows, assessments and reporting. For more than 13 years, SIMStation has helped educators and simulation operators deliver reliable, efficient, and high-quality training experiences. With headquarters in Dallas, Texas, and Vienna, Austria, SIMStation supports more than 700 customers worldwide.

Established in 2011, SIMStation develops audiovisual and assessment systems for simulation and training environments. Company materials describe a multidisciplinary team of more than 70 professionals and identify Joachim Hilbrand and Steven Matthews as managing directors. SIMStation serves universities, simulation centers, medical facilities, and other organizations delivering healthcare training. The company announced the relocation of the U.S. headquarters from Miami to the Dallas area in 2025; the current website lists Carrollton, Texas, alongside the European headquarters in Vienna, Austria.

SIMStation’s approach centers on adapting technology to educational goals and local working conditions. A portable recording setup and a large simulation center require different infrastructure, yet both need usable controls and dependable recordings. The company combines software, AV equipment, planning, and implementation services to accommodate those differences. The overarching purpose is to help educators manage simulation activities while maintaining attention to learners and educational objectives.
