How SimulPhone Works

01

Prototypical situations to trigger mental models

Expertise isn't invented; it is built on pattern recognition. Our scenarios are designed to be prototypical: they contain the precise cues needed to activate the right cognitive schemas (mental models) in the learner. More than just a story, it is a pedagogical architecture that builds lasting operational reasoning. [Image of cognitive schema formation diagram]

02

Psychological fidelity to test cognitive load

Technical realism is not enough. SimulPhone aims for psychological fidelity: recreating the tension, uncertainty, and time pressure of a dynamic risk environment. The learner must manage limited attentional resources while facing concurrent tasks (listening, analyzing, dispatching), learning to prioritize and avoid cognitive overload. [Image of cognitive load theory diagram]

03

Assessing the 3 pillars of expertise

Our analysis model goes beyond simple "good or bad." Via AnthroScoPi, we measure expertise against three validated cognitive dimensions: Relevance (quality and speed of decision), Behavioral Richness (investigative breadth), and Flexibility (ability to challenge initial diagnosis). This is key to transforming a call-taker into an adaptive expert. [Image of adaptive expertise model diagram]

Cognitive Analysis

Example of an AnthroScoPi report measuring objective performance.

Relevance ? Definition: Ability to select the most useful action with minimal cognitive cost. High
Behavioral Richness ? Definition: Variety of actions and investigative categories explored. Average
Flexibility ? Definition: Ability to question one's own automatisms when facing the unexpected. Improving

Measurable Economic Impact

Simulation training is not an expense, it is a performance lever. Addressing human factors reduces the heaviest hidden costs.

-25%

Staff Turnover

Unmanaged stress is the leading cause of resignation in dispatch centers. Teams trained under pressure are more resilient and loyal.

-30%

Sick Leave

By reducing cognitive load and emotional wear, you decrease absenteeism related to burnout and PTSD.

-40%

Critical Errors

Safer decision-making avoids litigation and operational costs linked to dispatching errors or misallocation of resources.

Born from Research, Designed for the Front Line

Science at the service of experience.

SimulPhone wasn't born in an office, but from a realization: theory doesn't prepare you for the shock of reality. That's why our founder, Laurent Boidron, dedicated his PhD thesis in cognitive psychology at the CNRS laboratory to modeling the skills of emergency experts.

The result is a unique simulator, where every aspect is scientifically validated to actively build competence and ensure maximum impact in the dispatch center.

How SimulPhone Works & Key Benefits | AnthroPi

A Cognitive Gym for Dispatchers

SimulPhone is a comprehensive method to transform stress into mastery and pressure into performance, in a completely safe environment.

1

Total Immersion

The trainee receives a hyper-realistic call (voice acting, background noise, emotional load) and must handle the situation exactly as they would on duty.

2

Action & Decision

They must apply protocols (EMD), ask the right questions, and make critical decisions, all under the pressure of a scenario controlled by the instructor.

3

Analysis & Debriefing

The session is recorded. The trainee and instructor objectively analyze performance to anchor learning and define clear improvement goals.

Human Challenges We Solve

Compassion Fatigue

By exposing themselves to stress in a safe setting, your teams learn to manage panic and aggression without suffering the emotional backlash.

Judgment Errors

Simulation transforms theoretical protocols into reflexes. Dispatchers gain confidence and make faster, more accurate decisions.

Analysis Paralysis

Training on ambiguous cases helps dispatchers manage uncertainty. The "Safe-to-Fail" environment is the best antidote against the fear of making mistakes.

SimulPhone: Emergency Call Simulator FAQ | AnthroPi

Your Questions About SimulPhone

How does SimulPhone work in practice?

SimulPhone is a web-based platform. The trainer launches a scenario, and the trainee, wearing a headset, receives the call just like at their workstation. They interact with voices recorded by professional actors or controlled live. Every session is recorded to allow for an objective and constructive debriefing.

Are the scenarios customizable?

Absolutely. That is our greatest strength. In addition to our extensive library of cases (managing aggression, suicidal callers, stroke...), our instructional designers work with you to create scenarios 100% tailored to reflect your specific protocols and challenges perfectly.

Who is this simulator designed for?

SimulPhone is designed for all front-line professionals: 911 Dispatchers, PSAP operators, crisis management teams, sensitive customer service, law enforcement, and any profession where managing a difficult call is a strategic challenge.

Does it require complex installation?

No, none at all. SimulPhone is a 100% online (SaaS) solution accessible via a simple web browser. Deployment is near-instant and requires no intervention from your IT department, allowing you to start training your teams within hours.

Can simulation performance be analyzed?

Yes, and this is a key point. SimulPhone is natively compatible with our AnthroScoPi platform. Every simulated call can be analyzed using objective observation grids to measure soft skills, track progress, and precisely identify areas for improvement. You turn every training session into measurable data.

What is the difference from simple role-playing?

Realism and objectivity. Our scenarios are performed by professional actors to recreate authentic tension and emotional load. Furthermore, analysis via AnthroScoPi allows for a debriefing based on facts, which is much more impactful than subjective feeling. It is a true skill development tool.

What equipment is needed for a session?

It's very simple: a computer with a stable internet connection and a good quality headset to ensure optimal audio clarity. That's it. There is no software to install.

Can our internal trainers be autonomous?

Yes, the platform is designed for that. After an onboarding session with our experts, your trainers can launch scenarios, create sessions, and lead training completely autonomously. We remain, of course, available for continuous support if needed.

What are the concrete benefits for the organization?

The benefits are measurable: a reduction in errors in real situations, an improvement in satisfaction (caller or citizen), and a decrease in turnover related to stress. You are investing in sustainable skill building that reinforces your operational excellence.

And for the employees themselves?

Operators gain confidence and serenity. Training allows them to develop better stress management and handle emotional load. They feel better equipped and recognized, which is a powerful lever for motivation and retention.
