Integrations & Authentication
SIMStation is designed to be the center of your simulation workflow, not an island. This area of the manual explains how SIMStation works together with the equipment and services you already use: medical manikins, AI virtual patients, physical patient monitors, inventory systems, learning management systems, automation platforms, and your organization's user directory and single sign-on.
