Hey everyone,

I'm a physician who likes to code. For a while, I'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:

The Site: https://monitorsim.com

About It: https://jt.netlify.app/posts/monitor/

Tech: * React, Firebase (for remote control), D3.js, Netlify

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

Future directions: * add more waveforms (heart blocks) and finetune the existing ones * add arterial blood pressure waveform and styling

Collaboration/Feedback: * Feel free to fork on github: https://github.com/th3o6a1d/monitor * Hit me up on twitter for feedback: https://twitter.com/th3o6a1d

Disclaimer: * Some of the wave forms are the best approximations I can make at this time, and I've tried to keep them to scale. There's plenty of room for improvement. Go easy on me!
