Everyone commits to a decision.
Put the case on the slide and ask what happens next. Everyone answers on a ResponsePad, from first-year student to senior consultant. You see the reasoning of the whole room, not just the boldest voice.
Trusted by universities, airlines and global brands
The most senior voice answers. The rest agree.
In a case discussion, the first confident answer tends to become the room's answer. Juniors nod along. Whether they would have chosen the same, you never find out.
Hierarchy shapes the answer
Nobody wants to be wrong in front of a consultant. So the people who need feedback most stay quiet.
Watching is not deciding
Following a case as it unfolds is easy. Committing to the next step is the hard part, and the part worth practicing.
Phones stay out of sight
Many clinical teaching settings keep phones away. A poll app asks everyone to take them out again.
What presenters report
From lecture hall to skills lab
Case-based teaching
Every learner picks the next step before you reveal it.
Grand rounds
Turn a packed auditorium into a room that answers.
Competency checks
Score answers per participant and keep the report.
Nursing programs
Check understanding across a full cohort in one lecture.
Simulation debriefs
Anonymous questions after a scenario, so everyone says what they saw.
CPD sessions
Keep continuing education active for busy clinicians.
Pharma training
Confirm product knowledge across the whole training group.
Course evaluation
Anonymous feedback at the end of the session, from nearly everyone in the room.
Four moments that change the room
Make everyone decide
Show the case, then ask for the next step. When the room splits between two answers, you know where the teaching starts.
Compare professions
Split any answer by profession or year of training. See where nursing and medicine read the same case differently.
Liven up grand rounds
Split the auditorium into teams and run a short case quiz. A leaderboard keeps a full room with you to the last slide.
Keep a record per learner
In named mode every answer is saved per participant. Export the report to Excel or PDF for your training records.
Built to do one thing well
No screen, no apps, no notifications. Just ten keys and a light that tells each person their answer is in. That is why the room stays with you.
One press
Keys A to J. Answer in a second, then look up again.
Instant confirmation
The status light blinks green when the answer is received.
No setup
No pairing, no syncing, no app, no log-in. Hand out and go.
No Wi-Fi needed
Its own radio link to the receiver, up to 100 meters away.
Batteries for years
A coin cell lasts about three years in normal use.
Room for everyone
Up to 2,000 people in one session.
Kits ship in a padded carry case. Hand them out, collect them, done.

Turn on anonymous mode and nobody, not even the session lead, can link an answer to a person. Juniors answer what they think, not what they think the consultant wants to hear.
Trusted in lecture halls, boardrooms and conference halls
The delegates like the interactivity and the speed with which their marks come back to them. The admin time saved alone makes OMBEA an amazing investment as all the data is in Excel and can be merged and reviewed instantly!
OMBEA couldn't have been easier to set up. Everything was so simple to use. The students really enjoyed using it and it's often quoted in their feedback to us as being an enjoyable part of the day!
We chose OMBEA because they were excellent across a combination of important factors. They had user-friendly software, good quality hardware, and a refreshing approach to post-sales support. Their attention to support has been brilliant.
It was great. It's such a useful conference tool because when you're talking you know for sure whether or not you're hitting the right notes and you can adjust accordingly.
The OMBEA system is a fantastic tool in our inventory. Enabling exciting interaction, instant feedback to the presenter, and rich data from the class, OMBEA immediately enhances the learning experience for participants on both sides of the lecturn. Swift to deploy, simple yet powerful; I will be using OMBEA for all of my training presentations in future!
So far we've used the charts and graphs in presentation meetings to build the story around team engagement and particular areas of interest. … the OMBEA data has made it much simpler to get buy-in from around the business.
The students responded very positively to the OMBEA system. Mixing the clickers and apps made it very flexible and they found it easy to use. From a lecturer's point of view, it made lectures more interesting and it is much easier to use than our existing response technology.
OMBEA is proving a great asset to the delivery of our staff development activities. We have been able to use it for staff focus groups, induction events and team away days. It is very easy to use and set up and so far people have been interested and excited to use it. It increases interactivity in a session and the instant results mean that the sessions are very open. Using OMBEA encourages discussion and engagement. The feedback has been great!
OMBEA cut straight through those language barriers and had the room on the edge of their seats!
The voting couldn't have gone any better, it was exactly what we were looking for.
OMBEA makes everything so much more interactive and the delegates keep telling us how much they enjoy it. The support we get from the team is great and we love having them at our conferences!
Ombea is easy to manage and grows alongside your business.
OMBEA has been a great maths resource but also a useful cross-curricular too with a maths link in mind. It's also great for feedback in line with the 1/2/3 system we have in place to encourage self assessment and to identify and address any particular misconceptions. It's fantastic for data handling and compiling data to use with the class. Overall it's a great piece of kit and I love that we can tailor it so easily!
In some of my courses I might have up to 350 students. It can be tough to get them all to join in, but participation is vital for learning. OMBEA's clickers provide a great solution for this. Using OMBEA's systems, students effectively learn from one another, and their learning has benefited enormously as a result.
OMBEA Response gives me real-time feedback on how my audience is listening to and learning from my presentation. An astoundingly simple and powerful tool!
OMBEA's instant class results save time and give the students the opportunity to pursue their own development and performance.
I now test the class on a continuous basis, rather than having two exams for each learning module. And there's no extra marking to do, either.
We get access to valuable information that we can use. OMBEA is also greatly appreciated by the participants who think it's a fun and rewarding element of the day.
Good questions
Why clickers instead of phones?
Many clinical teaching settings keep phones away, and a phone brings every other app along. A ResponsePad does one thing. It needs no Wi-Fi, no app and no log-in, so a full auditorium is ready in seconds.
Can answers be anonymous?
Yes. Turn on anonymous mode and nobody, not even you, can link an answer to a participant. Students and juniors answer honestly.
Can we track each participant for competency checks?
Yes. In named mode every answer is saved per participant. Mark correct answers and points, then export reports per question, per participant and over time to Excel or PDF.
Will it work in a large auditorium?
Yes. Up to 2,000 participants can answer in one session, within 100 meters of the receiver. The clickers use their own radio link, so the hospital Wi-Fi doesn't matter.
We don't only teach with PowerPoint. Does that matter?
No. OMBEA Response works inside PowerPoint on Windows. OMBEA Response 360 runs next to any presentation tool, from Keynote to web pages and video, on Windows and Mac.
