iRIS Scenario Design System

Simulation programs are asked to do more every year – more learners, more disciplines, more modalities, tighter governance, and higher expectations of quality. iRIS was created to meet that reality.

Save Time. Increase Quality. Scale Capacity. 

iRIS is a browser-based scenario design and management platform that helps healthcare simulation teams build consistently high-quality scenarios, collaborate efficiently, and maintain clear oversight from draft to delivery. Rather than starting from a blank page, educators work through a guided authoring flow that prompts the right level of detail at each stage—learning objectives, roles, patient presentation, progression, cues, expected actions, assessment, and debrief.

To accelerate development even further, iRIS includes an AI-assisted authoring tool that helps teams move from idea to first draft faster, refine and expand scenario details, and improve consistency across a portfolio. Educators stay in control—using AI support to reduce admin and design time while keeping clinical accuracy, local standards, and governance at the centre. The result is a repeatable approach that supports standardisation without constraining creativity.

iRIS AI 

iRIS AI accelerates scenario development by turning natural language inputs (and existing documents) into structured, high-quality scenarios that match your organisation’s templates and standards. It’s designed to remove the heavy lifting—so educators can focus on clinical intent, facilitation, and learner outcomes.

• AI Generate: Create complete scenario first drafts from simple prompts – then iterate fast.

• AI Import: Bring existing Word documents into your iRIS library and convert them into reusable, editable scenario content.

• AI Assist: Refine, expand, and evolve scenarios already in your library—improving clarity and consistency across programmes.

• AI Assessment Checklist: Generate a running checklist of expected learner actions to support observation and stronger debriefing.

Faculty remain in control at every step, with clinical review and governance workflows ensuring content is accurate, appropriate, and aligned to local practice.

Designed for collaboration and governance 

Scenario development is rarely a solo activity. iRIS makes it easier to involve subject matter experts, faculty, and simulation technicians with shared access, commenting, and review workflows. Teams can establish common templates and terminology, reduce rework, and maintain a clear audit trail through versioning and approvals—supporting local governance and quality assurance.

One library, multiple programmes 

iRIS acts as a central, searchable library for your scenario portfolio. Tags, categories, and structured metadata help teams quickly find and reuse content, adapt scenarios to different cohorts, and build coherent curricula. This helps reduce the “reinventing the wheel” problem that often slows simulation teams down—especially across multi-site organisations.

To help teams get started fast, iRIS also includes FairShare: a set of shared, ready-to-use scenarios that provide a strong baseline for common learning objectives. Programmes can adopt these scenarios as-is or tailor them to local practice, then save refined versions back into their library for future delivery.

Together, the library + FairShare reduce the “reinventing the wheel” problem that often slows simulation teams down—especially across multi-site organisations

Built to fit your modality and technology mix 

Simulation programmes rarely use a single format. iRIS supports scenario design across common simulation modalities—patient simulators/manikins, task trainers, and standardised patients—while keeping the underlying structure consistent. Where teams deliver simulation using vendor technologies, iRIS supports exports and direct integratoons into leading manufacturers to help scenarios move from authoring into delivery tools.

Easy to deploy and scale 

Because iRIS is hosted and accessed through a standard web browser, it has a minimal IT footprint and can be rolled out quickly across departments or networks. The guided approach also helps bring new scenario authors up to speed faster, making it easier to grow capacity and maintain quality as your programme expands.

Who uses iRIS? Simulation centres, universities, clinical training teams, and multi-site healthcare organisations use iRIS to standardise scenario quality, improve collaboration, and increase efficiency—so educators spend less time formatting and chasing documents, and more time designing meaningful learning experiences.
