Medical education has recently expanded its focus from fact-based medical knowledge to include relationship-based competencies. Our application aims to simulate conditions and symptoms using augmented and/or mixed reality to improve the comprehension and empathetic communication between healthcare providers and their patients/families. With our application integrated into medical education curricula, clinicians-in-training will be better equipped to employ empathy in providing quality interactions.
