Virtual Patient System
Developer
01Context
A medical simulation in which the user interviews a virtual patient by voice, gathers information, and submits a diagnosis.
The interesting part is not the conversation itself but everything it has to resolve against: a configurable condition, its vitals, the procedures available, and a scoring model that judges what the user concluded.

05A Configurable Encounter
The session is assembled rather than scripted. A condition, its vitals and the available procedures are configuration, which means the same system can present a different case each time instead of replaying one authored encounter.
Voice is the interface to that state. What the user asks drives dialogue and animation, what they examine runs a procedure, and what they conclude is assessed by the scoring model, so the loop closes on a judgement rather than simply ending.
06Outcome
