Clinical Case Simulation

Case Simulation is an interactive learning tool that allows users to virtually interview AI-driven patients, simulating real-life medical scenarios. This advanced feature provides an immersive experience where you can practice and refine your communication, diagnostic, and management skills in a risk-free environment. As you engage with these AI patients, you receive immediate, detailed feedback on your performance, including how effectively you communicated, the accuracy of your diagnostic decisions, and the appropriateness of your management strategies. This feedback is crucial for identifying areas of strength and improvement, making Case Simulation an invaluable resource for healthcare students, clinicians, and anyone looking to enhance their clinical skills. Whether you're preparing for exams or OSCEs, improving bedside manner, or simply gaining more confidence in patient interactions, Case Simulation offers a comprehensive and realistic training experience. Neural Consult’s OSCE simulator is customized for all healthcare degrees types, from MD-focused traditional OSCE cases, to SBAR Oral Presentation cases for Nursing Students, to Pharmacotherapy Consult cases for Pharmacy students. Neural Consult supports dozens of customized case types for all healthcare students looking to hone their clinical patient interview and management skills!

Select cases by degree, organ system (cardiovascular, reproductive, etc) or by clinical rotation (internal medicine, surgery, etc). We provide a curated case bank across a variety of degree-relevant clinical scenarios or you can create brand new cases from scratch or your files.

Once you choose a patient case, pick the scenario you want to take it on. Neural Consult supports dozens of scenario types so you can practice the exact format your program or exam calls for. Two examples: a traditional OSCE, where you’re given patient information, interview the patient, then answer a quiz, or an SBAR scenario, where you interview the patient immediately, synthesize your clinical findings, then deliver a formal oral presentation to an attending.

Our simulator is voice enabled, and students can practice interview patients who talk back like real life! Ask any question you might ask a patient during an interview and simulate taking a history with appropriate depth and communication skills. During this step, you can also request physical exam maneuvers and order labs and imaging studies such as a chest x-ray.

Interpret the results of the physical exam maneuvers, labs, and imaging you ordered, such as listening to lung sounds or inspecting a chest x-ray, and determine what the findings mean for your patient.

Input your leading diagnosis based on the patient history and interview, physical exam, and labs/imaging.

Neural Consult’s custom AI gives you immediate, custom feedback on interview skills, and diagnostic reasoning, and correctness of diagnosis. The feedback and grading is extremely in depth and customized to your degree, checking things like whether you ordered the correct labs and imaging, asked about onset and location, asked about family history, provided the correct next steps in management, and reached the correct differential diagnosis. Get scores on the case to track your progress or compete with friends!

Neural Consult already has hundreds of cases created across dozens of degrees, and can also create any clinical case from an uploaded file to create cases that match your study needs perfectly. The steps above walk through one common path through a case, but the scenarios available to you are wide ranging, and the exact flow may look a bit different depending on the case and scenario type you choose.

We're continuing to add to our case bank and build new, unique custom scenarios. Future features also include realistic patient avatars.
