Communicate better through conversation training with artificial intelligence
VirtualSP is an AI-based training platform of the Medical School OWL. Students hold conversations with virtual simulated persons and receive structured feedback on their communication immediately afterwards.

Try VirtualSP and hear for yourself what a conversation with our virtual simulated persons is like:
How VirtualSP works
Choose a scenario
Students start one of the released scenarios, for instance explaining an X-ray report or a first consultation at the student advisory service.
Hold the conversation
They speak freely with the virtual simulated person, as in a phone call. The person answers in real time and stays in character.
Receive feedback
Immediately afterwards, the conversation is assessed along five competency dimensions, with quotes from the learner’s own conversation and recommendations for the next session.
