Overview

An education and research prototype for practising nursing interviews in English and French, built under a School of Nursing research grant and housed under Reimagine Media (RMGN).

Learners prepare for assigned scenarios, speak with simulated patients and submit structured feedback.

Patients answer in real time by voice, with an avatar and captions.

Planned for a 200-student nursing class in November 2026.

The project is not clinical software, a diagnostic tool or a patient record.
