A virtual cabinet of drugs, supplies, and gear, explorable down to the dose.

Anesthesia Playground
An interactive sandbox for learning anesthesia. Explore the OR cabinet, manipulate ventilator physiology, and rehearse clinical scenarios with AI coaching that adapts to your reasoning.
Tweak knobs, watch waveforms talk back. Physiology you can poke.
Cohort analytics, AI debriefs, and authorable scenarios for educators.
Three playgrounds, one mission
Explore at your own pace, drill the patterns that matter, and let educators see exactly where to coach next.
Interactive Pyxis
Demystify the cabinet you'll meet on day one of your rotation.
- Click-to-explore drawers for controlled meds, supplies, airway gear, and lines.
- Vaporizer panel: sevo, iso, and des side-by-side with teaching context.
- Curated drug cards with mechanism, dosing, and "what to look for" pearls.
- Ask AI chat to demystify any drug or device on the spot.
Interactive Ventilator
Play with physiology. Watch the waveforms talk back to your settings.
- Live monitors: pressure, flow, volume, capnography, and P–V loops.
- Tutorial modals for compliance, resistance, and pattern recognition.
- Clinical scenarios (bronchospasm, hypotension, anaphylaxis, and more) with branching choices.
- AI coaching that tailors feedback to your decisions in real time.
- AI-generated debriefs with strengths, weaknesses, and recommended drills.
Instructor Dashboard
See what your learners are practicing, struggling with, and mastering.
- Live analytics across cohorts, training levels, and affiliations.
- Per-learner timelines for tutorials, scenarios, and quizzes.
- AI debriefs summarizing strengths, weaknesses, and next-step coaching.
- Authorable scenario motifs that AI variates into endless cases.
- Automated fine-Tuning, A/B Testing, and inferences used for advanced, cohort-wide customization for precision education.
Why this exists
Open-sourcing anesthesia education
Anesthesia is hard to see. The OR moves fast, decisions live inside the attending's head, and a textbook can't show you a vent waveform shifting under your changes. Anesthesia Playground is a small attempt to fix that: a public, free, modern sandbox that pairs interactive simulations with AI tutoring so any student, anywhere, can practice the way faculty already think.
- OpenFree for learners. Free for institutions. Built to be borrowed.
- Interactive Every screen is a thing you can poke, not a slide.
- AI-augmentedCoaching, debriefs, and case generation that scale a teaching attending's bandwidth.
Built to grow a community of anesthesia trainees and educators around digital tech × medical education.
