AI patient simulator separates clinical truth from language generation

A backend engineer and a doctor developed an AI patient simulator that separates clinical truth from language generation. The system maintains a fixed clinical state for each patient, with a knowledge graph providing medical context, but the AI model is restricted to translating language and cannot alter factual patient data. This architecture ensures that investigation results and examination findings remain deterministic, preventing the AI from inventing or changing patient information, while still allowing it to interpret user requests and grade performance based on recorded actions. AI

IMPACT This approach could enhance medical training by providing realistic, yet controlled, patient simulations.
