Virtual Standardized Patients for Medical Training & Assessment
EF 2021-22 · 2021-12-06
Résumé
Digital Humans can be used to train medical students and healthcare professional as an alternative to real-life “Standardized Patients” that are more conventionally used in medical training. Our project will leverage numerous cutting-edge video game technologies to create a solution to provide nursing and medical students with a way to conveniently practice patient-assessment through a configurable branching natural language dialogue system hooked up to photo-realistic dynamically animated virtual patients. The global healthcare system is in dire need of nurses and doctors with the skills to triage and navigate the assessment stage of patients. This product has the potential to significantly reduce the current healthcare training backlog.

Description (French)
Les humains numériques peuvent être utilisés pour former les étudiants en médecine et les professionnels de la santé comme une solution de rechange aux « patients simulés » réels qui sont plus conventionnellement utilisés dans la formation médicale. Notre projet s'appuiera sur de nombreuses technologies de pointe en matière de jeux vidéo pour créer une solution permettant aux étudiants en soins infirmiers et en médecine de s'exercer à l'évaluation des patients grâce à un système de dialogue en langage naturel configurable et ramifié, relié à des patients virtuels photoréalistes et animés de manière dynamique. Le système mondial de soins de santé a un besoin urgent d'infirmières et infirmiers et de médecins capables de trier et de gérer l'évaluation des patients. Ce produit a le potentiel de réduire considérablement le retard actuel en matière de formation en santé.
