Customising Monitor Skins

Written By trucorp

Last updated 9 months ago

TruMonitor allows you to customise the appearance and behaviour of each monitor skin, giving you full control over what’s displayed during a simulation. This includes waveforms, vitals, colours, and layout order.

What You Can Customise

1. Show or Hide Waveforms and Vitals

You can selectively enable or disable any waveform or vital sign on the screen.

  • Waveforms: ECG, SpO₂, EtCO₂, etc.

  • Vitals: Heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, etc.

  • Defib & AED energy levels - change which energies are available at different age ranges.

✅ Useful when focusing on specific systems (e.g., cardiac only) or simulating limited equipment.

2. Change Colours

You can change the display colours of waveforms and vital signs to match:

  • Institutional conventions

  • Learner needs (e.g. colour blindness)

  • Device types (e.g. matching real equipment colour schemes)

3. Reorder Vital Signs

Easily adjust the order in which vitals are displayed on screen. This lets you:

  • Group related values (e.g. blood pressure near heart rate)

  • Reflect different equipment layouts

  • Tailor the interface for specific scenarios or learners

How to Customise a Skin

    • From the session screen, or instructor settings, tap ‘skin settings’
