What TMA Is (and Isn't)
TrainingMonitor.App (TMA) is a free, web-based patient monitor simulator built for EMS educators. It turns any two internet-connected devices into a fully functional, instructor-controlled vital signs monitor β the kind of monitor a student would see clipped to a real patient in the field or in an ED.
What TMA Is
- A Controller (the instructor's remote) connected over the internet to a Display Monitor (the screen the students see), tied together by a shared Session ID.
- A clinical-grade ECG/vitals simulator with 200+ ECG rhythms, 9 vital channels, 15 capnography waveforms, 68 pre-built clinical scenarios, hospital-grade alarms, and an AED trainer.
- Browser-based β no install, no login, no credit card. Works on phones, tablets, laptops, and smart TVs.
- Sponsored by MedTechKits.com. Free forever, for everyone.
What TMA Is Not
- Not a medical device. TMA is a training simulator only. Never use it for clinical decisions or real patient care.
- Not a documentation or clinical-hours tracking system. TMA simulates vitals and rhythms β it does not log student rotations, hours, or skills checkoffs.
- Not a manikin replacement. It is a monitor replacement β it gives you the screen students watch during simulations, regardless of whether your patient is a manikin, a roleplayer, or a hospital bed with a tablet on the rail.
Why It's Free
TMA is sponsored by MedTechKits.com, which covers all operating costs so educators and students never see a bill. There are no subscriptions, no paywalled features, no premium tier, and no account required. Every scenario, every alarm, and every session is available the moment you open the app.
