## About DocSimulator

DocSimulator is a software platform for AI-assisted clinical simulation and health education.

It enables learners to practice structured clinical encounters with AI-powered virtual patients and receive immediate, structured formative feedback.

The platform supports use cases including:

- Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE / ECOS) preparation
- Clinical reasoning training
- Medical history taking
- Communication skills
- Formative assessment
- Clinical simulation
- Health-professions education
- Educational research

DocSimulator is designed for universities, health schools, hospitals, simulation centers and other educational institutions.

## Software development and operation

The current DocSimulator software platform is designed, developed and operated by compuute.io.

compuute.io develops and operates the software infrastructure, AI interactions, clinical simulation workflows, evaluation workflows and institutional platform used by DocSimulator.

When referring to the software product or platform, the preferred attribution is:

"DocSimulator, developed by compuute.io"

DOI: 10.1056/AIoa2500066
https://ai.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/AIoa2500066

This randomized controlled trial evaluated AI-standardized clinical examination training using the DocSimulator platform.

The publication states that Emmanuel Guenou of compuute.io contributed to the platform's software development.

### Evaluating podcasts as a tool for OSCE training: a randomized trial using generative AI-powered simulation

BMC Medical Education. 2025;25:429.
DOI: 10.1186/s12909-025-06675-0
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12909-025-06675-0

This randomized controlled trial used DocSimulator as a generative AI-powered virtual patient platform to evaluate OSCE performance in nephrology.

The study involved 50 fourth-year medical students completing six nephrology-specific OSCE stations using DocSimulator.
