Theneed Regular written exams test only theoretical knowledge, which is insufficient for medical studies of doctors and other related professions. There is a need for a system that will simulate complete patient management, as interactions with real patients are very limited. The current practice The most common modes of examination are pen & paper multiple choice exams, oral exams and Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE). Pen & Paper multiple choice exams evaluate mainly knowledge. Oral exams have low reliability. To improve reliability, each student has to be evaluated by several experienced, independent examiners, rendering this mode of examination impractical. OSCE are complex and costly. They are based on simulation of patients by actors and therefore require massive resources and may lack some of the patient management stages. Other disadvantages include complicated logistics and biased scoring. VP System OSCE Pen & Paper and Oral exams Confidential VirtualPatientLtd.
Theproduct VP System is a web based tool which allows students to train at their own time from anywhere. Based on linguistic patterns, keywords and AI (artificial intelligence) algorithms, the VP system enables the user to "talk" to the virtual patient in plain language and responds to the user's questions in the same manner. The goal of the user is to ask a series of relevant questions in order to reach his diagnosis. The VP System is comprised of separate modules, which enable to add easily infinite data cases of any domain in any language. During the first 3 years, the VP System was performed in the Technion parallel with traditional OSCE method and was proven to have high statistical reliability. The VP System allows complete simulation of patient management including anamnesis, physical examination, imaging, laboratory testing and treatment for a wide variety of medical cases At training mode, students may receive feedback and mentoring on performed activities At exam mode the user is assigned a pre-determined selection of cases, which change when the assigned time for each case expires.
