Health Sciences Simulation Center
You bring the question. The HSSC provides the environment.
The UNH Health Sciences Simulation Center supports students, faculty, and external partners who need to practice skills, evaluate systems, and prepare for real-world healthcare challenges, without putting real patients at risk. From training future clinicians to helping industry partners test medical devices, everything we do supports patients and families, even when they never step inside our doors.
The Center for Digital Health Innovation operates within the HSSC, supporting applied research, training, and industry collaboration.
Our services
Facility rental
Eight rooms. Every clinical environment you need.
Eight high-fidelity simulation rooms, each with cameras, microphones, and a one-way observation mirror. Your team watches from the control station while real users interact with your product in a realistic clinical setting.
Usability services
Can real users actually use what you're building?
That's the question usability testing exists to answer. At the HSSC, you observe real behavior in realistic settings. You identify friction early. You make design decisions grounded in evidence, not assumptions, before regulatory review or clinical deployment.
