From blueprint to live AI-patient simulation
SIM Essentials is where faculty design the simulation. Simagine Studio turns the completed blueprint into a live encounter with an AI patient, and Simagine delivers it to learners, scores their performance against the rubric, and produces the competency evidence. Sending a design to Simagine is optional — the blueprint remains yours to download and use anywhere.
SIM Essentials
Faculty design AACN-aligned simulation blueprints.
Simagine Studio
Blueprints become live AI-patient encounters.
Simagine
Learners practice with an AI patient, 24/7.
Simagine
Rubric-based scoring generates competency evidence.
How it works
- 1
Complete your design
Finish the six designer steps in SIM Essentials and click Complete Design. The design is saved privately to your dashboard.
- 2
Choose “Bring to Life in Simagine”
On the design page, open the Simagine transition page. SIM Essentials prepares a secure blueprint link that is valid for 30 days.
- 3
Import into Simagine Studio
Open the design directly in Studio, upload the downloaded blueprint file, or paste the blueprint link into Studio’s import screen.
- 4
Review, build, and publish
Review the imported content in Studio, build the AI-patient encounter, then choose Publish to Simagine for learner delivery.
What transfers to Studio
- Simulation and course learning outcomes
- AACN 2021 Essentials domain and competency mapping
- Official AACN Progression Indicators for the selected level
- Patient profile, communication style, and key clinical details
- AI patient prompt, including the role-lock guardrails
- CJMM × AACN assessment rubric
- Pre-simulation preparation materials
- Debriefing framework, guide, and reflection questions
Faculty remain responsible for reviewing and approving the simulation before it is delivered to learners. A blueprint is a design document; competency evidence comes from learner performance and assessment in Simagine.
Open in Studio
One click opens Studio with your blueprint link attached.
Upload the file
Download the .simblueprint.json file and upload it in Studio.
Paste the link
Copy the secure blueprint link and paste it into Studio’s Import from URL field.
