Body Interact - Virtual Patient Simulator fosters current and future healthcare professionals to improve critical thinking and decision-making skills.

The term virtual patient is used to describe interactive computer simulations used in health care education [1] to train students on clinical processes such as making diagnoses and therapeutic decisions. [2] Virtual patients attempt to combine modern technologies and game-based learning to facilitate education, and complement real clinical ...

Virtual patients are generally two-dimensional avatars on a computer display that serve to help learners maneuver through clinical situations or perform a task, such as the proper technique for taking a patient's medical history.

Virtual Medical Simulation (VMS) recreates the real world in 3D virtual reality for learning purposes. The combination of didactics, 3D graphics and the most modern animation methods created unlimited possibilities for scenarios in various simulation environments with …

This article reviews literature on virtual patients (VPs) and their underlying virtual reality technology, examines VPs’ potential through the example of psychiatric intake teaching, and identifies promises and perils posed by VP use in medical education.

The developed virtual patient classification framework provides a valuable model for educators, VP developers and researchers in healthcare education. It makes the conceptualization of VP use more explicit and supports a more precise communication about the specific type of VP addressed and allows a clearer focus of future research activities.

Body Interact is a virtual patient simulator designed for students’ and healthcare professionals’ education, training, and assessment. It fosters the application of clinical knowledge, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

Virtual patients are interactive digital simulations of clinical scenarios for the purpose of health professions education. There is no current collated evidence on the effectiveness of this form of education.

Jul 1, 2023 · Virtual patients, which are produced from health records of real patients or by quantitative system pharmacology enhanced with AI, are being used to create historical controls to complement the placebo group in clinical studies.

Dec 6, 2018 · Virtual patient (VP) is a standardized computer software which allows simulation of real clinical scenarios that encompass the most frequent clinical cases to critical situations. The aim of VP is to expose students to virtual scenarios that would otherwise be difficult to find or to deal with in real life [11, 12].
