The AI patient can answer questions about its condition and provides feedback to the student after, along with a list of other questions that could have been asked

A Calgary medical student has developed an app that allows future doctors to work on their diagnostic and communication skills before they set up their practices.

"It's good to get more than just two or four hours of the practice we get in medical school to really be able understand what it's like to communicate in a real-life scenario," said Guo. "I'm Ben Johnson and I've been having some really bad abdominal pains over the past two days. It's in the right upper quadrant and it spreads to my back," said the robotic male voice in the program.

Guo said until he is finally allowed on the medical wards, the only other interactions he gets are with standardized patients, professional actors who present with various conditions. Guo collaborated with medical resident Dr. Mehul Gupta. He said this kind of additional help will make for better doctors.
