Why did Pharmacy use avatars for simulation? Simulation can be standardised (e.g for consistent experience/assessment) A safe environment to practice and learn from your mistakes Possibilities to simulate scenarios you cannot in real life Available ‘on demand’
How has the technology been applied for patient benefit? An avatar with a long term condition: • Simulate how a protocol helps a patient (healthcare professional) • Simulate how guidance given to patient could be applied (patient and/or GP)
What technology could be applied for patient benefit? A web based scenario for a patient or healthcare professional to use A mobile application that is tailored to the user’s needs and any medication
