Room Technologies

iPads

Feinberg has dedicated iPads in the ALC and the Anatomy Lab. Additional sets of iPads can be reserved and utilized in other learning spaces for the MD program.

Butterflies

Butterflies are handheld ultrasound devices used in a variety of teaching and learning settings at Feinberg. Each device is paired with an iPad (or iPhone). We provide them with a portable stand for ease of use and they can be used in nearly any room at the medical school. We strongly encourage you reserve them early.

OtoSim

The OtoSim system is used to teach learners to give an ear exam. This technology can be used in a variety of spaces. The OtoSim requires significant setup time and should be reserved at least one week in advance.

HeartSounds

Heartsounds is an app of heart sounds to teach students about various heart defects. While the technology can be used in a variety of locations, it’s best to only use this in rooms with the best sound quality. We strongly recommend using this in the ALC.

HoloLens

We have a set of 12 Microsoft HoloLens. While these devices are primarily used for anatomy, we are happy to incorporate them into your curriculum. Ideal spaces include the ALC, 1-401 and the VR Lab (in Sim). Use of the HoloLens requires considerable planning, testing and support.
