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.
What TMA Is
- A Controller (the instructor's remote) connected over the internet to a Display Monitor (the screen students see), linked by a shared Session ID.
- A clinical-grade 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. There are no subscriptions, no paywalled features, no premium tier, and no account required. Every scenario, every alarm, and every session is available from the moment you open the app.
