A Calgary medical student has developed an app that allows future doctors to work on their diagnostic and communication skills before they set up their practices.
Eddie Guo, a second-year student at the University of Calgary's Cumming School of Medicine, said one of the challenges beyond the book learning in medical school is becoming better at interacting with patients.
"We think it's a good idea to have more than a few hours of practice before actually going out into the wild and seeing patients for the first time." "I've also been feeling nauseous and vomiting. I'm here in the emergency department because of the pain."The AI patient can answer questions about its condition and, after the conversation, provides feedback to the student along with a list of other questions that could have been asked.
"We don't get that much opportunity really to practise speaking with a patient, and so what this app was born out of was a lack of possibility to practise."
