- Abstract
Background: A digital workflow for implant-supported fixed complete prostheses (ISFCP) using photogrammetry (PG), virtual articulator (VA), and virtual facebow (VF) data remains a challenge., Methods: The novel ISFCP technique included four steps: (1) formation of a dynamic virtual patient, (2) integration of PG data, (3) fabrication of a diagnostic ISFCP, and (4) fabrication of a definitive ISFCP and test of the deviation., Results: Dynamic virtual patients were formed by integrating PG, VA, and VF data. The cumulative root mean square deviation between the designed data and actual definitive prosthesis was 140.4 µm., Conclusions: The novel technique for ISFCP fabrication described in this paper can help optimise the clinical efficiency and quality of ISFCP but requires an initial learning curve., Clinical Significance: This technique provides a direct workflow, using PG, VA, and VF data, to fabricate ISFCP based on the provisional restoration., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest with the contents of this article. The study was approved by the ethical committee of the Jinan Military General Hospital, and informed consent was obtained from the patient., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate the trueness and precision of an intraoral transfer element (IOTE) designed for matching intraoral and facial scans., Methods: A mannequin head with a maxillary model in position was used. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to construct the master model (MM). A digital impression of the maxillary arch was taken using an intraoral scanner, and the IOTE was used to record the maxillary arch position. Twenty facial scans with and twenty without the IOTE in place were performed with a handheld device (Ipad Pro, Apple) using a dedicated software. Digital mounting was performed to build a scan model (SM). Using software for data processing, the three-dimensional deviation between the MM and SM at the central left incisor (#9#), and the left and right first molars (#3#, #14#) was calculated as trueness and linear deviation precision. . Angular deviation was also calculated at the occlusal plane., Results: The linear deviation trueness at #9#, #3# and #14# was 0.3 ± 0.12 mm, 1.07 ± 0.28 mm, and 0.18 ± 0.34 mm, respectively, whereas the precision was 1.17 ± 0.4 mm, 0.43 ± 0.12 mm, and 0.64 ± 0.28 mm, respectively. Trueness of the angular deviation at the occlusal plane was 2.17 ± 0.46°, whereas the angular deviation precision was 0.64 ± 0.28°., Conclusions: Based on in vitro findings the proposed IOTE design is accurate and suitable for clinical use., Clinical Significance: Direct virtual mounting is a reliable technique in vitro; however, in vivo tests are required., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest Rome, 21st January 2022.

- Abstract
Background: The capacity of health care professionals to perform clinical procedures safely and competently is crucial as it will directly impact patients' outcomes. Given the ability of head-mounted virtual reality to simulate the authentic clinical environment, this platform should be suitable for nurses to refine their clinical skills for knowledge and skills acquisition. However, research on head-mounted virtual reality in learning clinical procedures is limited., Objective: The objectives of this study were (1) to describe the design of a head-mounted virtual reality system and evaluate it for education on clinical procedures for nursing students and (2) to explore the experience of nursing students using head-mounted virtual reality for learning clinical procedures and the usability of the system., Methods: This usability study used a mixed method approach. The stages included developing 3D models of the necessary instruments and materials used in intravenous therapy and subcutaneous injection procedures performed by nurses, followed by developing the procedures using the Unreal Engine (Epic Games). Questionnaires on the perception of continuance intention and the System Usability Scale were used along with open-ended questions., Results: Twenty-nine nursing students took part in this questionnaire study after experiencing the immersive virtual reality (IVR) intervention. Participants reported largely favorable game perception and learning experience. Mean perception scores ranged from 3.21 to 4.38 of a maximum score of 5, while the mean system usability score was 53.53 of 100. The majority found that the IVR experience was engaging, and they were immersed in the game. The challenges encountered included unfamiliarity with the new learning format; technological constraints, such as using hand controllers; and physical discomfort., Conclusions: The conception of IVR for learning clinical procedures through deliberate practice to enhance nurses' knowledge and skills is promising. However, refinement of the prototypes is required to improve user experience and learning. Future research can explore other ways to use IVR for better education and health care purposes., (©Siew Tiang Lau, Rosalind Chiew Jiat Siah, Khairul Dzakirin Bin Rusli, Wen Liang Loh, John Yin Gwee Yap, Emily Ang, Fui Ping Lim, Sok Ying Liaw.

- Abstract
Background: Simulation use is rapidly expanding, with technologies like virtual patients (VPs) and computer-based simulation (CBS) allowing for educators to equip pharmacy students with the necessary skills that are aligned with the demands and expectations of a practicing pharmacy professional. These technologies enable pharmacy students to be exposed to challenging or infrequent patient case scenarios in an authentic pharmacy setting. This allows for the reinforcing of care processes and for techniques and crucial skills to be applied., Aim of the Study: To consolidate the existing evidence regarding the utilization of VPs and CBS in preparing and supporting students in pharmacy experiential education and evaluate the effectiveness of these approaches in enhancing student pharmacists' learning outcomes, including knowledge, skills, confidence, enjoyment, and engagement., Methods: Five electronic databases were searched using combined keyword and indexing terms (when available) with Boolean operators for the literature search. Studies that reported or investigated the use of VPs and CBS in pharmacy experiential education were included. Data on study design, demographics of participants, information on the interventions, course/skills, primary and secondary outcomes, and qualitative findings were extracted., Results: A total of 911 unique articles were initially identified and filtered down to 19 articles fitting within the inclusion criteria. The selected 19 articles involved student pharmacists (Y1-Y5) and pre-registered pharmacists from ten countries. Simulation tools were used in various pharmacy courses, including Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE), Advanced Pharmaceutical Care II, and Medication Management. Implementing these tools in pharmacy experiential education demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in student knowledge ( p < 0.05). Most students agreed/strongly agreed that practicing with virtual patient cases enhanced their clinical reasoning, counseling skills, confidence in communication, and attitudes toward the courses., Conclusions: This systematic review supports the use of VPs and CBS in pharmacy experiential education and provides practical recommendations for educators including selecting suitable tools, implementing them strategically within courses, integrating them with existing activities, and considering financial and IT support., Competing Interests: All authors declare no conflict of interests., (© 2023 The Authors.)

The aim of this project is to design, build and test a conversational agent (chatbot) for training counsellors at a child helpline. The helpline provides information, advice and support to children between the ages of 8 and 18. The conversational agent will act in a role-play setting where it will play the role of a child contacting the helpline and the user, a counsellor at the helpline. This research is done within the context of a master's thesis. In this study, we aim to evaluate a prototype of a BDI-based virtual agent that simulates a child contacting the helpline for advice on how to deal with a bullying problem in order to investigate the added value of a conversational agent as a learning tool for training counsellors. The agent makes use of the Beliefs, Desires and Intentions (BDI) architecture in order to simulate the child's behaviour. This study can be seen as an explorative study to inform future research in this domain.

The purpose of this paper was to introduce a method for creating a digital virtual patient by combining cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), intraoral scan, and facial scan with a high accuracy of integration. CBCT scan, facial scan, and intraoral scan were obtained from initial visit. The virtual patient was created using the integration of these imaging modalities. Once the virtual patient was generated, digital workflow could be applied to initial patient consultation, diagnosis, treatment planning, virtual tooth setup, virtual treatment simulation, and post-treatment evaluation. integration of digital technology allows clinicians to improve diagnosis and treatment outcome. in addition, it allows for favorable patient communication. This technique eliminates the traditional impression process and complicated laboratory procedures for evaluating patient's occlusion during smile and habitual resting position. Based on this protocol, it is possible to create a digital virtual patient using CBCT, intraoral scan, and facial scan with a high accuracy of integration. it would be helpful for precision diagnosis and accurate treatment as well as favorable communication with patient.

Highlights • Titrating PEEP to minimum elastance is a lung protective strategy in mechanical ventilation. • Clinical studies have shown excessive PIP can be dangerous. • The ability of this model to predict PIP could reduce the risk of titrating PEEP in VCV. • Development and validation of predictive in-silico models is presented. • Future use in virtual patients could improve clinician confidence and patient safety in delivering care. Abstract Background and Objectives Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a primary therapy for patients with acute respiratory failure. However, poorly selected ventilator settings can cause further lung damage due to heterogeneity of healthy and damaged alveoli. Varying positive-end-expiratory-pressure (PEEP) to a point of minimum elastance is a lung protective ventilator strategy. However, even low levels of PEEP can lead to ventilator induced lung injury for individuals with highly inflamed pulmonary tissue. Hence, models that could accurately predict peak inspiratory pressures after changes to PEEP could improve clinician confidence in attempting potentially beneficial treatment strategies. Methods This study develops and validates a physiologically relevant respiratory model that captures elastance and resistance via basis functions within a well-validated single compartment lung model. The model can be personalised using information available at a low PEEP to predict lung mechanics at a higher PEEP. Proof of concept validation is undertaken with data from four patients and eight recruitment manoeuvre arms. Results Results show low error when predicting upwards over the clinically relevant pressure range, with the model able to predict peak inspiratory pressure with less than 10% error over 90% of the range of PEEP changes up to 12 cmH 2 O. Conclusions The results provide an in-silico model-based means of predicting clinically relevant responses to changes in MV therapy, which is the foundation of a first virtual patient for MV.

- Abstract
This paper presents the domain of information sciences, applied informatics and biomedical engineering, proposing to develop methods for an automated detection of similarities between two particular virtual learning environments - virtual patients at Akutne.cz and the OPTIMED curriculum management system - in order to provide support to clinically oriented stages of medical and healthcare studies. For this purpose, the authors used large amounts of text-based data collected by the system for mapping medical curricula and through the system for virtual patient authoring and delivery. The proposed text-mining algorithm for an automated detection of links between content entities of these systems has been successfully implemented by the means of a web-based toolbox.

Introduction: The success rate of pharmaceutical Research & Development (R&D) is much lower compared to other industries such as micro-electronics or aeronautics with the probability of a successful clinical development to approval in central nervous system (CNS) disorders hovering in the single digits (7%). Areas covered: Inspired by adjacent engineering-based industries, we argue that quantitative modeling in CNS R&D might improve success rates. We will focus on quantitative techniques in early clinical development, such as PharmacoKinetic-PharmacoDynamic modeling, clinical trial simulation, model-based meta-analysis and the mechanism-based physiology-based pharmacokinetic modeling, and quantitative systems pharmacology. Expert commentary: Mechanism-based computer modeling rely less on existing clinical datasets, therefore can better generalize than Big Data analytics, including prospectively and quantitatively predicting the clinical outcome of new drugs. More specifically, exhaustive post-hoc analysis of failed trials using individual virtual human trial simulation could illuminate underlying causes such as lack of sufficient functional target engagement, negative pharmacodynamic interactions with comedications and genotypes, and mismatched patient population. These insights are beyond the capacity of artificial intelligence (AI) methods as they are many more possible combinations than subjects. Unlike ‘black box’ approaches in AI, mechanism-based platforms are transparent and based on biologically sound assumptions that can be interrogated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Objectives: This study aimed to measure students’ perceptions of virtual patient scenarios (VPs) for developing ethical reasoning skills and to explore features in VP design that are necessary to promote professionalism. Methods: Sixty‐five dental students participated in learning sessions that involved collaborative practice with five VPs (four high fidelity and one low fidelity), followed by reflection sessions. Students’ perceptions towards the use of VPs in developing ethical reasoning skills were assessed using a questionnaire that involved 10 closed and three open‐ended questions. Results: High‐fidelity VPs were perceived as significantly better for developing ethical reasoning skills than low‐fidelity VPs. Analyses of answers to open‐ended questions revealed two new features that are specific for VPs intended for teaching professionalism, which are VP dramatic structure and how it should end. Conclusion: VPs intended for teaching professionalism need to have high fidelity, follow a specific dramatic structure and should include multiple plausible endings. The use of VPs as part of a collaborative activity that is followed by a reflection session is perceived as an effective tool for the development of ethical reasoning skills in dental education.

Background and Objective Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) has been used in many areas of healthcare training over the years. However, it constantly needs to be upgraded and enhanced due to technological and teaching changes. We aim at implementing an integrative OSCE method which employs informatics via the virtual patient within the pharmacy education curriculum at Taipei Medical University to enhance the pharmacy students’ competence for using and disseminating information and to also improve critical thinking and clinical reasoning. Methods We propose an integrated pharmacy OSCE which uses standardized patients and virtual patients (DxR Clinician). To evaluate this method, we designed four simulated stations and pilot tested with 19 students in the first year of the Master in Clinical Pharmacy program. Three stations were simulated as the inpatient pharmacy: 1) History and lab data collection; 2) Prescription review; 3) Calling physician to discuss potential prescription problems. The fourth was simulated as the patient ward station to provide patient education. A satisfaction questionnaire was administered at the end of the study. Results Students rated their ability of 2.84, 2.37, 2.37, and 3.63 of 5 for each of the four stations, with the second and third being the most difficult stations. The method obtained an average rating of 4.32 of 5 for relevance, 4.16 for improving clinical ability, 4.32 for practicality in future healthcare work, and 4.28 for willing to have another similar learning experience. Conclusion The integration of Virtual Patient in this study reveals that this assessment method is efficient and practical in many aspects. Most importantly, it provides the test taker with a much closer real-life clinical encounter. Although it is in many ways more difficult, it also provides for better “learning from mistakes” opportunities for test-takers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Introduction To compare online learning tools, looped, branch serious game (SG) and linear text-based scenario (TBS), among a sample of Belgian and Swiss pharmacy students. Methods Open randomized controlled study. The lesson was based on the case of a benign cough in a healthy child. A randomized sample of 117 students: only the Swiss students had attended a previous lecture on coughs. Participation rate, pre- and post-experience Likert scales and students’ clinical knowledge were measured. Results Our primary hypothesis was demonstrated: students favored the SG even if navigation was rated as more complex, and students who performed the SG better understood the aim of pharmacist triage in case of cough. The influence of the SG appeared to be linked to the presence of a previous lecture in the curriculum. Discussion and conclusion SG and TBS are effective to teach pharmacist triage. Higher SG complexity should be used to teach the aim of pharmacist triage in the case of a specific disease and could be an alternative to simulated patients. A simpler TBS does not require a previous lecture and a debriefing to be fully effective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: Limited data exist about the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the training and clinical practice of young doctors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact on paediatric gastroenterologists in training posts during the first wave of the European COVID pandemic. Methods: All Young members of European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) (YE) members received a multiple-choice questionnaire concerning the impact (if any) on their clinical practice, mental health, quality of care provided and fellowship/training experience. The survey was conducted between May 22, 2020 and June 10, 2020. Results: Of the 144 responders (40% of YE members), 85% (n = 123) reported an impact of COVID-19. Ninety-six percent reported an impact on their clinical practice, including more virtual patient consultation (n = 91), underutilization of ambulatory care (n = 113) and reduced or lack of planned admissions (n = 75). Endoscopy restrictions to semi-urgent or emergency cases were reported in 82 and lack of medical equipment/drugs (n = 47) were also reported. Reported adverse mental health issues included poor concentration, increased stress levels, an impact on family life in 62% and a reduced quality of care in 45%; this was more often reported in doctors from Southern Europe (54%) than in those from other geographical areas. Seventy-seven percent reported an impact on the content of their fellowship, including lack of participation in national/international meetings, withdrawn research time and limited mentoring. Conclusions: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been shown to affect the clinical practice, training and mental health of YE members. Adaptations of training programmes and targeted strategies to improve the clinical practice of young practitioners are needed and proposed in this manuscript.

Objectives In 2015, the National Academy of Medicine IOM estimated that 12 million patients were misdiagnosed annually. This suggests that despite prolonged training in medical school and residency there remains a need to improve diagnostic reasoning education. This study evaluates a new approach. Methods A total of 285 medical students were enrolled in this 8 center, IRB approved trial. Students were randomized to receive training in either abdominal pain (AP) or loss of consciousness (LOC). Baseline diagnostic accuracy of the two different symptoms was assessed by completing a multiple-choice question (MCQ) examination and virtual patient encounters. Following a structured educational intervention, including a lecture on the diagnostic approach to that symptom and three virtual patient practice cases, each student was re-assessed. Results The change in diagnostic accuracy on virtual patient encounters was compared between (1) baseline and post intervention and (2) post intervention students trained in the prescribed symptom vs. the alternate symptom (controls). The completeness of the student’s differential diagnosis was also compared. Comparison of proportions were conducted using χ 2-tests. Mixed-effects regressions were used to examine differences accounting for case and repeated measures. Compared with baseline, both the AP and LOC groups had marked post-intervention improvements in obtaining a correct final diagnosis; a 27% absolute improvement in the AP group (p Conclusions The study showed that a virtual patient platform combined with a diagnostic reasoning framework could be used for education and diagnostic assessment and improved correct diagnosis compared with baseline performance in a simulated platform.

The provisional prosthesis is a prerequisite for prosthodontic rehabilitation. The purpose of this technique was to register facial and intraoral scans predictably. A 3D virtual patient was created through facial scans, intraoral scans, digital face-bow transfer, and digital cross-articulation technique. This virtual patient allowed predictable positioning of intraoral scans to a virtual articulator by using digital face-bow transfer. The resulting virtual patient facilitated the design of definitive prostheses following a facially generated treatment planning principle. In addition, the virtual articulator was used to improve occlusal design on the definitive prostheses and reduce the need for intraoral adjustment.

Introduction CT-guided interventions are taught using a mentored approach on real patients. It is well established that simulation is a valuable training tool in medicine. This project assessed the feasibility and acceptance of replicating a CT-guided intervention using a bespoke software application with an augmented reality head-mounted display (ARHMD). Methods A virtual patient was generated using a CT dataset obtained from The Cancer Imaging Archive. A surface mesh of a virtual patient was projected into the field-of-view of the operator. ChArUco markers, placed on both the needle and agar jelly phantom, were tracked using RGB cameras built into the ARHMD. A virtual CT slice simulating the needle position was generated on voice command. The application was trialled by senior interventional radiologists and trainee radiologists with a structured questionnaire evaluating face validity and technical aspects. Results Sixteen users trialled the application and feedback was received from all. Eleven felt the accuracy and realism was adequate for training and twelve felt more confident about their CT biopsy skills after this training session. Discussion The study showed the feasibility of simulating a CT-guided procedure with augmented reality and that this could be used as a training tool. Key Points • Simulating a CT-guided procedure using augmented reality is possible. • The simulator developed could be an effective training tool for clinical practical skills. • Complexity of cases can be tailored to address the training level demands.

PurposeHealthcare employs informatics to offer its services through information technology where the social network can aid virtual medical learning. Since the usage of the internet and other electronic tools for medical services delivery is at the initial stage, it is essential to examine the factors that condition patients and medical elements in a virtual environment can develop relationship models on the health services. So, the authors have systematically reviewed virtual medical learning and offered some suggestions for the upcoming works. The authors have also discovered gaps in the state-of-the-art papers and provided solutions for them.Design/methodology/approachNumerous novel advancements have changed the old exercise of therapeutic and analytic learning. Virtual spaces have quickly turned into a section of the learning technology vision. Given the importance of its achievements and endless low-cost expansion of the educational system, virtual education has been considered as one of the issues raised by the information communities. Medicine and health are some of the most important fields in virtual technologies. Hence, in this paper, we have used a systematic literature review to deeply examine virtual medical learning. After establishing exclusion and inclusion criteria, an independent systematic search in Google Scholar, ACM, Scopus, Eric, Science Direct, Springer link, Emerald, Global ProQuest and IEEE for relevant studies have been performed, and 21 papers have been analyzed. Detailed data have been mined out of the papers.FindingsThe authors have found that virtual medical learning improves and expands the knowledge core and meaningfully affects the exercise. Virtual learning (VL) has been used in many therapeutic zones, like therapeutic learning, surgery, diagnosing, combining and regularizing processes. It has presented a fundamental access point and a referral mechanism for all of a course's component communities. It can also simplify communicative education, allowing learners to get abilities before applying them in a real-world situation. Also, the communicative characteristics of different VL programs can somehow be like direct teaching.Research limitations/implicationsSome excellent work may be removed owing to applying the filters to select the primary papers. Surveying all the documents on the topic of virtual medical learning is impossible, too. Nevertheless, the authors have tried to present a perfect survey of virtual medical learning. The results will be helpful for scholars to propose better virtual medical learning techniques.Practical implicationsE-learning has become an indispensable additional learning tool in medical education. The introduction of new learning technologies, the exponential growth of Internet usage and the advent of the World Wide Web can change the face of higher education. The results will be helpful for scholars for the upcoming works. The application of a literature review of partial least squares theory was useful for offering comprehensive literary coverage and completing the knowledge development analysis. The authors have backed scholars and experts for better understanding the development of virtual medical learning systems via presenting comparative data and scrutinizing the present advances.Originality/valueThe paper enhances intellectual knowledge by improving the conception of virtual medical learning. It informs the development, use of virtual medical learning and the upcoming works. The lack of comprehensive papers in this field has increased the importance of this paper. The present paper can handle the pace of publications.

New teaching methods are designed and implemented to ensure student success and application of knowledge. One of these designs is the flipped classroom. Nursing programs are also integrating technology, including simulation, into nursing education in order to enhance student engagement. Although several research studies support flipped classroom methodology, no studies have compared traditional and flipped classroom teaching methods, as well as the use of a technology-enhanced classroom, in a baccalaureate nursing health assessment course. The purpose of this study was to compare learning outcomes and student satisfaction in an undergraduate health assessment course across three teaching methods: traditional lecture, flipped classroom, and a technology-enhanced interactive flipped classroom. All three methods incorporated virtual patient simulation. Using a quasi-experimental design, formative and summative assignment grades were compared. Student course evaluations were compared to assess satisfaction with each teaching method. Significant differences in mean grades were found in 12 of the 23 assignments. The technology-enhanced interactive flipped classroom section outperformed the traditional and flipped classroom sections on most of these assessments. Only one difference was noted in student satisfaction. The results showed that a technology-enhanced interactive flipped classroom design supported student learning. A longitudinal analysis of student performance is recommended.

Digital technology is broadly used in almost every part of medicine. As tools of digital technology, augmented reality and virtual reality have been adopted in all disciplines of dentistry and dental education. In particular, virtual articulators have allowed for a full analysis of occlusion with dental models that can simulate all mandibular movements in static and dynamic positions. When combined with additional software, virtual articulators can also enhance education and practice, allow for quicker and more precise individualized diagnoses and enable discussions of dental treatment planning options with patients during their first appointment. This article reviews the requirements for virtual articulators and occlusal recordings and assesses their advantages and disadvantages in various aspects.

Although it is accepted that oncologists should plan for a future beyond full-time oncology, there is little practical guidance for a successful transition into retirement. Previously, we provided strategies for various aspects of retirement planning. However, this became significantly more complicated as we face newer issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the move to virtual patient care, greater awareness of burnout, and the increasing burden of regulatory issues such as the electronic medical record. It is evident that more prospective information is needed to guide oncologists in planning their retirement.

• Predictive computational models are useful to complement clinical trials. • Disease models that infer causality in pathophysiology have been produced. • Quantitative System Pharmacology models are being enhanced with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. • Virtual patients and digital twins provide representations of individual patients. • Regulations are being established to support the use of these predictive models. Computational models are being explored to simulate in silico the efficacy and safety of drug candidates and medical devices. Disease models that are based on patients' profiling data are being produced to represent interactomes of genes or proteins and to infer causality in the pathophysiology, which makes it possible to mimic the impact of drugs on relevant targets. Virtual patients designed from medical records as well as digital twins are generated to simulate specific organs and to predict treatment efficacy at the individual patient level. As the acceptance of digital evidence by regulators grows, predictive artificial intelligence (AI)-based models will support the design of confirmatory trials in humans and will accelerate the development of efficient drugs and medical devices.

- Abstract
A technique for creating 3-dimensional virtual patients (3DVPs) by superimposing intraoral and facial digital scans guided with a novel aligner system is described. This aligner system supports design modifications to adapt to different facial scanning methods (FSMs) and reduce the impact of FSMs on the accuracy of 3DVPs. Two different designs of the aligner system are described: one for use with less-accurate FSMs and another for use with more-accurate FSMs. These virtual designs are available for download and use.

Knowing how to diagnose effectively and efficiently is a fundamental skill that a good dental professional should acquire. If students perform a greater number of clinical cases, they will improve their performance with patients. In this sense, virtual patients with artificial intelligence offer a controlled, stimulating, and safe environment for students. To assess student satisfaction after interaction with an artificially intelligent chatbot that recreates a virtual patient, a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in which a virtual patient was created with artificial intelligence in the form of a chatbot and presented to fourth and fifth year dental students. After several weeks interacting with the AI, they were given a survey to find out their assessment. A total of 193 students participated. A large majority of the students were satisfied with the interaction (mean 4.36), the fifth year students rated the interaction better and showed higher satisfaction values. The students who reached a correct diagnosis rated this technology more positively. Our research suggests that the incorporation of this technology in dental curricula would be positively valued by students and would also ensure their training and adaptation to new technological developments.

Computational simulations ,virtual patient ,Cir ,Biology (General) ,QH301-705.5 - Abstract
Nowadays cardiac simulations are becoming increasingly sophisticated. This trend, part of the maturing field of computational medicine, has provided medical students and cardiologists alike with a new tool for education and research – their very own virtual “patient”. The CircAdapt biophysical model of the human heart and circulation (www.circadapt.org) allows the creation of a virtual “patient” for the study of the cardiovascular system and circulatory haemodynamics under diverse physiological and pathophysiological conditions in real time. The interactive CircAdapt model with its modular design based on established physical and physiologial principles allows dynamic monitoring of blood flow velocities, pressures and volumes in the heart and blood vessels, and across valves and shunts. As an educational tool, the CircAdapt model enables medical students and residents in cardiology, neonatology and intensive care medicine to analyze complex situations while improving their comprehension of cardiovascular physics and (patho)physiology. Moreover, the CircAdapt model has been successfully utilized as a research tool for cardiac resynchronization therapy as well as for various cardiovascular pathologies (e.g. pulmonary arterial hypertension, LBBB). All in all the CircAdapt perspective is as follows: bridge education and research - from classroom to bedside – to foster the future of clinical practice.
