CEO and Founder
Raúl began his career in Hollywood collaborating on the Physical and Mechanical Effects of ‘Terminator 3’ at Stan Winston Studios. Stan Winston is responsible for the creation of the main characters of the 80s and 90s (Terminators, Jurassic Park, Predators, Alien, etc).
From there he moved to London, where he dedicated himself to designing robots for Digital Special Effects and collaborating with various art projects in the area.
Two years later he moved to Rome to work as an industrial designer in Cartoni, a leading company in professional camera accessories for cinema and TV, obtaining a world patent for one of his designs.
In 2011, he was a fundamental part of the team that created the Special Effects for ‘Gravity’, winner of seven Oscars, including that of Special Effects. He was in charge of researching and developing part of the technology that made it possible for us to live the 3D experience of a ship adrift in space without moving from the cinema seat.
In 2021 Raúl Rodríguez began collaborating with Alicante General Hospital through SIMIALAB, their medical simulation laboratory. They needed to implement a range of products for their emerging simulation lab and turned to Raúl due to his background in special effects and his innovative engineering profile.
Raúl quickly recognised the significance of medical simulation – a field where healthcare professionals train on simulators without risking lives. As an engineer who sees solutions where others see problems, he immediately set to work improving and innovating his overlays.
Aware of the health benefits of well-trained medical staff, Raúl and Emulant deliver creative and cost-effective solutions for simulation centres. This is a powerful way to help reduce mortality rates due to medical errors, one of the leading causes of death in the world according to the UN.
Emulant is part of Simulation Collective, which unites companies specializing in medical simulation, education, and high-quality healthcare products, promoting continuous innovation in the simulation sector.
Each company within the collective has its own product line, sharing relevant news and advancements to better meet client needs.
Our vision is to enhance the realism and effectiveness of medical training through creativity and technical and artistic expertise.
To achieve this, we research and innovate with the goal of providing solutions that ensure effective medical training.
At Emulant, we are problem solvers, which is why we cater to the needs of the sector and evolve our products according to market trends.
