"Medical simulator" pricing varies enormously because the term spans task trainers costing a few hundred dollars, high-fidelity manikins costing tens of thousands, VR training seats sold per-license, and AI aesthetic-outcome SaaS billed as a monthly subscription. Here's what's actually published, by category — with "on request" marked honestly where no public price exists.
Cost by type
| Category | Typical price band | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Basic task trainers (single-skill, e.g. suturing pad) | Low hundreds of USD | Widely published across training-equipment catalogs |
| High-fidelity patient manikins | Tens of thousands of USD per unit | Vendor quote — rarely published publicly |
| VR training seats (per-license, clinical training) | Institutional/quote-based | Not public for most vendors |
| Screen-based clinical training software (e.g. Full Code, Body Interact) | Free tier for individuals; institutional pricing on request | Vendor sites |
| AI aesthetic outcome simulator (Glow50x) | $225–$700/month depending on tier and billing term | Published pricing |
Every figure above is either a published price or explicitly marked as unpublished — no invented numbers for hardware vendors that don't disclose pricing.
Who sells medical simulation equipment in Dubai
Regional distributors and suppliers with a documented UAE presence include SimuLead, Life Simulation Medical, KREND, Ernest Vision and companies like Amico/Canfield that supply imaging and simulation hardware to hospitals and training centres. None publish list pricing publicly — contact each directly for a quote, and note that authorized-distributor status can change, so verify current authorization before procurement.

Per-consult economics — a clinic running the Complete tier (1,000 credits/month) at:
- 20 consults/month: roughly $35/consult
- 50 consults/month: roughly $14/consult
- 100 consults/month: roughly $7/consult
(Figures assume one credit per consult and full utilization of the monthly allotment; actual cost per consult varies with usage.)
Hidden costs to check for, with any simulator
- Hardware — does the tool need a dedicated camera, VR headset, or 3D scanner, or does it run in a standard browser?
- Per-patient fees — some vendors charge per render or per patient on top of a subscription; Glow50x's pricing is a flat monthly subscription with a credit allotment, no separate per-patient fee.
- Training — does adopting the tool require staff training time, and is it included?
- Data-residency requirements — relevant under the Abu Dhabi DoH Responsible AI Standard and Saudi PDPL; confirm where patient photos are processed and stored.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a medical test cost in Dubai? That's a different question from simulator pricing — a medical test is a diagnostic lab or imaging service, not simulation software. Check with a DHA-licensed lab or hospital directly.
How much does a Full Code medical simulation cost? Full Code Medical Simulation offers a free tier for individual learners, with paid options for institutions — contact them directly for institutional quotes.
Is there free medical care in Dubai? That's outside what this article covers — this page is about simulation software pricing, not clinical care costs. Check with the Dubai Health Authority for public healthcare access information.
Is the Glow50x simulator free for patients? Yes — patients get three free credits with no card required at glow50x.com/simulator. Clinic subscription pricing is separate and covers ongoing use across the clinic's team.
