Tips for writing the Patient Concept:
Think of the Patient Concept as an SP training material, which contains all the information the SP ought to know about to be able to successfully simulate a scenario.
The Generative AI responsible for the conversation will accurately respond to questions covered in the Patient Concept. Since the AI is based on a large language model, the responses may slightly differ from simulation to simulation, but the "message" behind them will be the same.
For anything NOT included in the Patient Concept, the AI will come up with believable responses. These responses will likely be different from simulation to simulation.
For example, if multiple students ask about the name of the patient's father, the AI will come up with different names unless it is specified in the Patient Concept.
While AI technology is improving at a rapid rate, it is still not on the level of a human brain. As such, the AI is unable to make logical deductions.
Take a look at the following sentence: "Patient is concerned about pain because she fell onto her left hip this morning". Humans are able to make the logical deduction instinctively that the patient is having pain because she fell onto her hip.
The AI is unable to make this deduction, and when asked if falling on her hip hurt, she will respond with no. A better wording of this sentence would be: "Patient is feeling pain and is concerned because she fell onto her hip this morning."
Create redundancies. If you see that your patient does not give the expected response, repeat the related sentence in the Patient Concept with different words.
Write the Patient Concept in chronological order, and if the patient has multiple concerns/symptoms, specify which one was first.
Avoid overly technical jargon. Write in the third person, in the language and style that the patient would use.
The patients (aside from special cases) do not know their diagnosis or how their symptoms correlate. Keep this in mind when writing the Patient Concept.
Include the Avatar's appearance in the Patient Concept.
