Abstract

The aim of this research is to create an immersive healthcare education resource using an extended reality (XR) platform. This platform leverages an existing software product, incorporating virtual patients with conversational capabilities driven by artificial intelligence (AI). The initial stage produced an early prototype focused on assessing an elderly virtual patient experiencing frailty. This scenario encompasses the hospital admission to post-discharge care at home, involving various healthcare professionals such as paramedics, emergency clinicians, diagnostic radiographers, geriatricians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses, operating department practitioners, dietitians, and social workers. The plan moving forward is to refine and expand this prototype through a co-creation with diverse stakeholders. The refinement process will include the introduction of updated scripts into the standard AI model. Furthermore, these scripts will be tested against a new hybrid model that combines generative AI. Ultimately, this resource will be co-designed to create a learning activity tailored for occupational therapy and physiotherapy students. This activity will undergo testing with a cohort of students, and the outcomes of this research are expected to inform the future development of interprofessional virtual simulated placements (VSPs). These placements will complement traditional clinical learning experiences, offering students an immersive environment to enhance their skills and knowledge in the healthcare field.
