Abstract:
COVID-19’s lockdown policy is causing the dental schools to halt their preclinical curricular and clinical activities, including a learning session with Standardized Satient (SP) to train student’s communication proficiencies. In this project, we developed Virtual Standardized Patient (VSP): an immersive learning with Artificial Intelligence (AI)- enhanced Virtual Standardized Patient to improve dental student’s communication proficiencies. Augmented Reality (AR) was used to immerse the virtual patient into user’s space, user also has an option to switch to Virtual Reality (VR) to fully immerse the user with the digital environment. AI element facilitates a seamless communication between virtual patient and user, and we also added an adaptive storytelling to allow student to explore several discussion’s options.
