## What is SimPatients?

Sim Patient Bots is a teaching tool that allows health professionals to interact with simulated patients for better interaction with proper patients. 

The simulated patients are a collection of diverse chat-bot personalities with a health complaint that the user must investigate by asking pertinent questions. The simulated patients are inspired by real cases from a variety of clinical backgrounds including medicine, pharmacy, psychiatry, and nursing. 


SimPatients is developed with a collaboration between the University of Queensland, Australia and the CSIRO for health students and experienced professionals to improve their client interaction. 

No account is required. 

Dialogues with the simulated patients can be exported to PDF for review and discussion in a class environment.
