LectureLinks Details Interactive Patient II Interactive Patient II is a case simulation environment created by Dr. Christoph U. Lehmann, Dr. George Kim and Dr. Kevin Johnson working in conjunction with the Office of Medical Informatics Education. This project is a continuation of the Interactive Patient web site created by Christoph Lehmann while at Marshall University. This web-based case environment uses a natural language interface to reinforce history and physical exam skills.
Users can type questions in natural language, and recieve realistic patient responses.
Once the user's question has been broken down to its simplest form, the essential elements are matched to findings in database and a natrual language answer is constructed. Question submission is handled with a client-side Java applet and HTML interface. Users may also perform a physical examination that includes anatomic findings as well as neurologic function. History and physical data can be collected simultaneously while developing a differential diagnosis. Click here to see the Interactive Patient 2 site.
