A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of hosting a two-day training session in Berlin with a group of volunteers. They flew across the ocean to join our team for a hands-on simulation of a full cryopreservation case — and we couldn’t have been more excited to host them!
The session was led by our own Standby, Stabilization, and Transport (SST) team, who walked through the entire process from dispatch to surgery. Together, we simulated a complete case, discussed each step in detail, and took time to answer questions, share perspectives, and fine-tune the workflow. The atmosphere was collaborative and focused — but also filled with curiosity and good energy. For them, it was the first time seeing how it all comes together in real life at Tomorrow.bio.
One of our key goals for 2025 is to expand our SST coverage across Europe and the US. That means more trained teams on the ground, faster response times, local storage of cryoprotective agents, and new ambulances in more cities. In short: better readiness and support in emergencies. This training marked a small beginning of that journey in the US—and hopefully the first of many similar events to come.
If you’re interested in starting an SST team in your region, don’t hesitate to reach out. We're always open to discussing ideas, sharing what we've learned, and finding the right setup for your location. You can contact us at support@tomorrow.bio.
Training dummies, leveled up
Of course, no training is complete without the right tools — and we’ve recently taken our dummies to the next level. Our engineering team has been hard at work making the simulations more realistic, more interactive, and more useful for real-world preparation.
We now have three different dummies in action:
1. The weighted dummy is simple but essential. It’s used to practice safe patient handling and ambulance transport, giving teams a realistic sense of the physical coordination involved.
2. The SST dummy is where things get more advanced. It includes:
・Tubes in the ears and rectum for tracking internal temperatures.
・A cooling system that runs through the head and nasal cavity to mimic water-based body cooling.
・Injection points with fake skin and embedded structures at the shoulder and tibia to simulate intraosseous medication delivery (just to clarify—no human bones are used, just smart engineering!).
・And we’re currently working on a new feature: a CO₂ simulation system using a chemical reaction in the chest that releases gas up to the throat, mimicking end-tidal CO₂ for more accurate respiratory monitoring.
3. The surgical dummy is built for dispatch team training. The chest has been replaced with a custom-designed 3D-printed module that includes a mock sternum, which trainees can actually saw through. The entire setup is covered in skin-like material to maintain a sense of realism — while hiding the complex mechanics inside.
With these upgrades, our training sessions feel more like real cases, and that’s exactly the point. The more lifelike the practice, the more effective the team becomes when every second counts.
Thanks again to everyone who joined us in Berlin. We’re excited about the path ahead — and if you’re as passionate about medical innovation as we are, we’d love to have you on board! 👋
