This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will complete development of the Artificial Intelligent (AI) Patient platform. This immersive simulation platform helps medical students hone their listening and rapport-building skills by interacting with ?virtual? patients. The student asks questions and the video clip response from the patient depends on the specific question asked, how that question is asked, and when it is asked in the interview. If the student asks the wrong question, or asks inappropriate questions, then the patient will respond in a way that will prevent a positive doctor-patient relationship from developing. Because it combines video clips and artificial intelligence and is web-based, we anticipate that this training platform will teach a medical school student (and other health professionals) how to really pay attention to their patients, and that it will do so more effectively than other training products already on the market. In Phase II, we will complete the platform build, incorporate additional artificial intelligence and speech recognition capabilities, create versions of the platform that will work on smart phones and tablets, and develop a set of six patient scenarios. This work will result in a platform that closely approximates a natural conversational experience.The broader impact/commercial potential of this project will be to achieve a significant advancement over currently available computer-based training and other instructional tools. Medical schools are experiencing a transition from passive to active methods of teaching, as professors and students both have the desire to replace passive learning methods of PowerPoint slides, lectures, and instructional videos with more interactive methods of learning. The active experience provided by the AI Patient platform will help students learn to be more effective listeners and better health practitioners, which will result in better patient outcomes. The platform will also allow researchers to track and measure the effectiveness of using this kind of training tool. By working with our medical school teaming partners (West Virginia University School of Medicine and the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine), we will develop a set of scenarios that we can license to other medical schools. Sales to the medical school community will support the development of more medical scenarios and enable us to expand into other sectors?such as law enforcement, HR training, and social work?where trust and rapport-building skills are critical.

这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）II期项目将完成人工智能（AI）患者平台的开发。这个身临其境的模拟平台通过与虚拟互动来帮助医学生磨练他们的聆听和融洽关系？患者。学生提出问题和患者的视频剪辑回答取决于提出的特定问题，如何提问以及何时在面试中提出问题。如果学生提出错误的问题或提出不适当的问题，那么患者将以防止医生关系发展的方式做出反应。因为它结合了视频剪辑和人工智能并且是基于网络的，所以我们预计该培训平台将教授医学院的学生（以及其他卫生专业人员）如何真正关注患者，并且它将比已经在市场上的其他培训产品更有效地这样做。在第二阶段，我们将完成平台构建，结合其他人工智能和语音识别功能，创建将在智能手机和平板电脑上使用的平台版本，并开发一组六个患者场景。这项工作将导致一个平台近似于自然的对话体验。该项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力将是在当前可用的基于计算机的培训和其他教学工具方面取得重大进步。医学院正在从被动的教学方法过渡到积极的教学方法，因为教授和学生都希望用更具交互性的学习方法代替PowerPoint幻灯片，讲座和教学视频的被动学习方法。 AI患者平台提供的积极经验将帮助学生学习更有效的听众和更好的健康从业者，这将带来更好的患者结果。该平台还将允许研究人员跟踪和测量使用这种培训工具的有效性。通过与我们的医学院团队合作伙伴（西弗吉尼亚大学医学院和西弗吉尼亚州骨病医学学校）合作，我们将开发一套可以向其他医学院许可的情况。 向医学院社区的销售将支持更多医疗方案的发展，并使我们能够扩展到其他部门？例如执法，人力资源培训和社会工作？在哪里信任和建立技巧至关重要。
