Notes:
Virtual patients are simulated individuals used in medical education and training. They are typically created using computer-generated graphics and animation, and can be designed to mimic the appearance and behavior of real patients. Virtual patients can be used in a variety of settings, including medical schools, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities. In virtual reality (VR), virtual patients can be used to create immersive, interactive learning environments. For example, a medical student could use VR to practice examining and treating a virtual patient, and receive feedback on their performance. This can provide a more realistic and engaging way for students to learn and practice medical skills. Virtual patients can also be used in research and development, for example to test new medical treatments or technologies. Overall, virtual patients are a valuable tool for medical education and training, and can help improve the quality and effectiveness of healthcare.
