About us | innov2Learn – Simulation in Health Care

Welcome To Innov2Learn

At Innov2Learn, our team is dedicated to addressing the healthcare skills shortage by improving practical training. We offer scenario-based simulated medical devices that help learners develop the skills needed to respond effectively in real-life situations. Our breakthrough technology includes remote-controlled devices that use Bluetooth and can be operated via a mobile app on computers, tablets, and smartphones.

Our history

In 2015, the CHUM (Hospital Center at Montreal’s University) issued a challenge to design a remote-controlled glucometer simulator for medical training. Mike Boutin, then a student in electronics and robotics, took on this challenge with a passion for creating a solution that would benefit others. After consulting with CHUM’s simulation specialists, Mike dedicated himself to the project, working tirelessly day and night for four months. The result exceeded expectations, leading CHUM to purchase the technology. Impressed by the prototype, Mike's school also acquired several devices for its nursing program. With numerous units sold and a proven concept, Innov2Learn was born.

Empowering Education Through Technological Innovation Our mission is to advance education by leveraging cutting-edge technology, creating innovative solutions that enhance learning and open new opportunities for growth and discovery.

Our Approach

We chose to start our activities in the health sector because we are committed to helping save lives. Our goal is to challenge the status quo by providing innovative solutions to common simulation challenges. From the very beginning, we have collaborated with various professionals dedicated to keeping you safe, including:

Nourses
Paramedics
Respiratory therapists
Doctors
Lifeguards
Firefighters
Police officers

These specialists have taught us how important it is to develop clinical judgment. Part of this development takes place in the simulation process. They told us: “Since we reproduce real situations, let’s make it as realistic as possible.” We came up with a range of products to fit this need.

Our Commitment to Excellence

Realistic Simulation Devices With our state-of-the-art simulation devices, we ensure that the next generations are fully prepared to face the challenges of their professional careers.

Our BHAG!

We understand that everyone has a unique way of learning. That’s why we believe there’s a method out there to help you learn better and faster. Our ultimate mission—our Big Hairy Audacious Goal—is to unlock the full potential within each of us. By harnessing the latest technologies, we aim to dramatically accelerate information retention at what currently seems like an "impossible rate." Imagine mastering any subject in just hours. That’s the future we’re working towards.

Purpose and Values

When you know something very well, you should be able to teach it to others.

Knowing her knowledge was valuable for the company, and necessary to be passed on, an employee decided to record dozens of videos to teach her know-how. These recordings helped to train additional resources and allowed her to focus on other tasks.

Treat clients, partners, and providers like an esteemed member of your family or a good friend.

We speak to our clients weekly. One of them remains the best even if she has switched institutions meanwhile, and is the best ambassador of the brand we could have wished for.

Manage resources like it is scarce (no waste).

During the pandemic, sourcing was difficult, and the prices of some critical electronic components jumped up to 12 times their regular price. Aware of the difficult situation, one employee managed to salvage these components from prototypes, defective and/or discontinued boards to fulfill the orders, saving the company.

Improve over time, even if it’s a little bit every once in a while.

It took over 36 revisions to obtain a stable board for the battery recharge. By always questioning if the design could be improved, simplified, or stabilized with more standard components, we managed to manufacture devices that are trusted and can be shipped worldwide.

Seek to understand the logic before making an action or taking a decision.

Initially, the app was developed with simple yet powerful features. At some point, we met with clients, and they expressed their need to be able to pre-set “readings” to focus on other aspects of training/simulation. That triggered the development of the pre-set feature, an unavoidable for our growing clientele.

Reat clients, partners, and providers like an esteemed member of your family or a good friend.

We speak to our clients weekly. One of them remains the best even if she has switched institutions meanwhile, and is the best ambassador of the brand we could have wished for.

Whatever you do, do it well.

We work in a very niche market, where everyone knows each other. We were able to grow exponentially as a result of a combination of key ingredients. Amongst them, are how we package our devices, the valuable information we share, the reliability of our technology, how user-friendly is our app, the support we provide, and what we communicate.

Revolutionizing Healthcare Training with Cutting-Edge Technology

We empower healthcare professionals with the most advanced training available, utilizing state-of-the-art technologies that simulate real-life scenarios with human-like robots and professional actors. Our approach ensures that medical experts are fully prepared for the complexities of patient care, making training as close to reality as possible.

Testimonials

Angela Turner MSN, MMBA, RN, CHSE - Simulation Coordinator
“Hello there. We have used the devices in simulation. Our students appreciate the realism, and they are easy to work with. Thank you!”
Joyce M. Gorcyca, MSN RN, CNE, CEN
“I was going to say in the testimonial that you make your customers feel like they were the only ones, but I didn't know if it would be interpreted as low customer volume.”
Viviane Fournier, Med
“Innov2Learn’s innovations are, without hesitation, an investment that boosts the reality of the simulation’s environment and, in turn, the students’ commitment. We are proud of this Québec business, which has reached a global audience of simulation-based teachers!”
Heather Halman & Rosie Calabretta, Director of Vocational Training and Pedagogical Consultat
“We implement them in the lab to develop critical thinking skills. They are great tools to bring the reality in the nursing lab and gain experience with conditions they may encounter while out on stage. The students appreciate the tools as they are learning from their mistakes as they become more confident dealing with high pressure situations. We are very satisfied with the tools.”
Véronique Gouin, Nursing Technician
“Innov2Learn simplified our simulations thanks to its easy-to-use devices that resemble the ones used in hospitals. We can remotely change the data to reflect the students’ interventions and patient responses. This company offers great customer service and quickly met with us to find solutions, develop, and customize a new product we needed. We are grateful to the whole team!”
