About Us
Empathetics is an AI-powered learning platform built by educators for educators. We help universities and training organisations create fully customisable virtual patients, simulations, and learning tools that enhance student learning — not replace it.
Fully Customisable Virtual Patients
Most virtual patient providers offer a fixed library of cases. That works only if your learning objectives fit their model. Empathetics fits around yours. Our intuitive interface lets you convert existing case histories, simulated patient scripts, and notes into full virtual simulations — no coding required.
- Access published virtual patients from our partner marketplace.
- Publish your own as open access, social enterprise, or commercial products.
Beyond Virtual Patients
Empathetics is transformative, not disruptive — designed to enrich learning through technology. Beyond virtual patients, our platform enables educators to build virtual tutors, dynamic submissions, and voice-driven feedback tools.
Virtual Tutors
Empathetics lets educators design tutors that support students to review, test, and reflect on taught content. Each tutor can be tailored to your course objectives, minimising hallucinations and maintaining curriculum accuracy.
Dynamic Submissions
Our Submissions workflow allows students to submit written or spoken responses and receive instant AI feedback. Encourage independent learning while reducing marking load.
The Power of Sound
Voice brings realism to simulation. Empathetics integrates speech and fluency analytics — assessing tone, rhythm, and coherence — to help students refine their communication and clinical interaction skills.
Research & University Friendly
We understand how challenging it can be to translate traditional teaching materials into interactive simulations. That’s why Empathetics offers collaborative co-investment models to help your team build simulations efficiently.
- Collaborative pathways for ethics, protocol, and implementation support.
- Your organisation retains full IP ownership — publish, license, or commercialise freely.
Example Use Cases
Virtual Tutors for Anatomy
Create weekly virtual tutors aligned with your course content. Reinforce key learning objectives and provide students a safe space to test knowledge before assessments.
Voice-Enabled Handover Practice
Train students in ISBAR handovers and get automatic analysis of prosody, fluency, and lexical accuracy — improving both confidence and communication quality.
Custom Virtual Patients
Design authentic, emotionally-aware clinical encounters — from difficult conversations to follow-up reviews. Link cases to build longitudinal experiences across multiple settings.
